The latest Japanese hardware sales from Famitsu are as follows:

Transformers Earthspark - Expedition

Today, publisher Outright Games and developer Tessera Studios announced Transformers: Earthspark – Expedition. Switch will be getting it later in 2023.

Transformers: Earthspark – Expedition is the first game inspired by the original animated series that debuted late last year. It’s an action packed, single player experience that has players taking control of Bumblebee who’s seeking to put an end to a threat from Dr. Meridian.

Dr. Fetus' Mean Meat Machine trailer

Thunderful and Headup have issued a launch trailer for Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine. The explosive match-4 puzzler, which is set right after Super Meat Boy Forever, lands on Switch today.

Additional information is included in the following overview:

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 physical download

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 will indeed be receiving a physical release – which isn’t surprising since Konami has pretty much always done that for the series – but collectors won’t be happy to hear that much of it requires a download.

Almost nothing appears to be included on the actual cartridge. It does contain 2.4GB of data, but it sounds like players will essentially need to download most of the actual content. The site mentions 24.1GB that’s needed, and then if you’re interested in the bonus videos, that’s another 30GB.

A new update has been released for Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key, bringing the game up to version 1.5.0 on Switch. This update focuses primarily on fixing known issues within the game, but has also added a graphics settings option so that players can adjust the depth of field to their liking. Full details can be found below:

Pikmin 1 + 2 gameplay

New gameplay is available showing both Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 on Switch. Both titles were not only announced for the system today, but released as well.
