A couple of videos have come in showcasing the newly-released Switch game Tiny Barbarian DX. View the first 15 minutes and co-op action below.

As of late, many developers and publishers have detailed the successes they’ve experienced on the Switch eShop. A number of games have sold better on Nintendo’s console than other platforms.

Some have chalked this up to Switch being early on in its lifecycle. Others have said that it’s due to a lack of games. But as the eShop continues to get more and more crowded – especially over the last few weeks – those arguments may not hold up as well.

Nintendo published a video earlier today highlighting its plans for China. A number of games are being prepared with Chinese translations.

The video highlights the following titles:

Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe held a Reddit AMA yesterday. It was an opportunity for fans to ask all sorts of questions about the game, which just launched on Switch last week.

Some of the responses were pretty interesting. It sounds like a physical version might be possible on Switch, and the somewhat long save times are being looked too. Unfortunately, touchscreen support is unlikely. ConcernedApe also talked vaguely about future plans, including his next game.

Tiny Barbarian DX is out today on Switch. Take a look at the official launch trailer from Nicalis below.

When we last heard about Switch’s performance in France, the console was sitting at over 250,000 units. That was back in mid-June. LesEchos now reports a new figure of 390,000 units. Philippe Lavoue, general manager of Nintendo France, says the system is on a path similar to that of Wii.

LesEchos also shares a positive figure about Zelda: Breath of the Wild. 80 percent of those who purchased a Switch bought the game, the site reports.

Last week, Nintendo started a retweet event for Super Mario Run. The global promotion was for North America, Europe, and Japan.

Depending on the amount of retweets, different Daisy Statues would be made available in the game. For 5,000 retweets, a standard statue would be provided to players. 10,000 retweets meant Nintendo would hand out a gold version.

Both goals were reached, meaning Gold Daisy Statue is the top prize. Players should find it waiting for them right now.
