Astral Chain made its debut in Japan last week. Between August 29 and September 1, it sold roughly 35,000 copies. That may seem like a small amount, but the game actually did quite well.
Dengeki reports that Astral Chain sold through 85 percent of its initial shipment. That means Nintendo didn’t go crazy with a ton of supply. In fact, some consumers reportedly encountered shortages last weekend.
Dengeki believes it’d be best to consider how Astral Chain does over a long period as opposed to specifically examining first week sales.

Rising Star Games now says Deadly Premonition 2 will be “Switch exclusive at launch”
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
In the first teaser trailer released for Deadly Premonition 2, a notice at the end stated that the game will be exclusive to Switch. Although that may initially be the case, it might not be something that’ll be maintained forever.
Rising Star Games co-founder Brjánn Sigurgeirsson told PushSquare that Deadly Premonition 2 is “Switch exclusive at launch”. Other than that, the publisher is “not discussing other platforms at this stage”. This suggests that Deadly Premonition 2 will be timed-exclusive, as opposed to permanent exclusivity.

CrossCode might be pushed back to 2020
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
CrossCode is definitely one of the most anticipated indie titles currently in the works for Nintendo Switch. Announced during the Switch Indie Highlights back in January, it was slated to be released sometime this year. However, it now seems like it might not make that target release. Developer Radical Fish Games responded to a fan on Twitter asking about the state of the game, stating that “It’s still being worked on. We may not make it this year, though.”. So, no official confirmation of a delay just yet, but it seems like fans will have to wait until next year to play CrossCode.
