The game version of Doraemon: Nobita’s Little Star Wars 2021 has been delayed in Japan. Originally announced to be coming to Switch in 2020, the release date was March 5, 2021 to coincide with the movie of the same name.

However, the movie has been delayed, and so the game has now been pushed back as well. The new release date is TBD at this time, but there will be more information from FuRyu soon.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin has just hit an impressive sales mark since its November 10 release. Marvelous has announced that the game has moved over 850,000 units worldwide both digitally and physically.

The publisher did not specify how many of those sales were of Switch copies, but it was reported back in November that the Switch version pre-orders were “2-to-1 over PS4.” Either way, this is quite the feat for a game that has only been out for a few months, and hopefully the sales numbers will continue to climb.
