Has-Been Heroes seems to be selling the best on Switch, Nine Parchments details
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch eShop | 13 Comments
On the latest episode of Fragments of Silicon, Kai Tuovinen from Frozenbyte was interviewed. Tuovinen was asked about the already-released Has-Been Heroes as well as Nine Parchments.
To begin, Tuovinen indicated that Has-Been Heroes has been selling the best on Switch. Tuovinen didn’t share any specific numbers, though that was in part due to since he didn’t have any information on-hand. Switch’s small library could have played a role in the strong performance, but the fact that people were interested in the game and were giving it a shot was encouraging.

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
We don’t want to make any assumptions about release dates for Switch eShop games at this point, but Earth Atlantis is very likely coming out this week. Nintendo’s North American website originally listed it for last Thursday, but that didn’t end up happening.
Earth Atlantis now has a listing on the US Switch eShop with a date of October 5. Nintendo’s UK site also lists the same date. Hopefully things stick this time around.
Finally, we have the file size for Earth Atlantis. It’s a 562MB download.
