According to research done by SuperData, Nintendo has so far managed to sell 1.5 million Switch systems worldwide. 500,000 systems were sold in the US, 360,000 were sold in Japan and Europe “isn’t far behind”, though it should be noted that most of these numbers are from first week sales, so they’re likely higher by now. Nintendo’s goal is to sell 2 million units in March, a goal they will likely easily achieve.

Unsurprisingly, the best-selling Switch title so far is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. According to SuperData, 89% of Switch owners also bought the new Zelda game, which would equate to 1.34 million copies sold.

Amazon has posted the boxart for Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure on Switch. You can also pre-order the game here.

On another note, Amazon lists the package for June 27. It seems somewhat like a placeholder, but it’s not entirely crazy since that would be a Tuesday. We’ll let you know if we hear anything official from Telltale.

When you walk up to a decayed Guardian in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you can obtain various Ancient Parts. However, players can receive even more by using a special trick.

brandonNaustin discovered that Magnesis can be used to pick up metallic rocks and flip over Guardians. Doing so reveals additional parts. It doesn’t work with Guardians that have legs or are buried in the ground, but you should find this useful in a number of instances.

Here’s a look at the trick in action:
