SEGA talks Super Monkey Ball series sales and more
Posted on 5 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Although some fans may have been concerned about sales of Super Monkey Ball, especially data that followed the release of Banana Rumble, SEGA says that the series is doing perfectly fine.
In its first week, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble sold just 1,500 copies. That quickly prompted some concern. However, producer Nobuhiro Suzuki recently spoke about the franchise’s sales in a Famitsu interview and pointed to North American players as the current focus of the series and that’s where the IP has done well.
We’ve translated the following excerpt:

The history of the “free update” model in Switch games
Posted on 5 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over the history of the “free update” business model of certain first-party games released for Switch.
Free updates and DLC weren’t quite as common for Nintendo games back in the Wii U and 3DS era. Company culture changes aside, one possible reason for this is that those consoles could only store so much extra data and updates for their games (with Super Smash Bros. pushing the limits of this restriction). Needless to say, things have sort of changed during the Switch era. Free updates have gone from a nice bonus to… something else, we’ll say. Here are some of the most prominent examples of Switch games that relied on a free update content cycle, and what these updates added to each game.
Worst Shiny Pokemon of all time
Posted on 5 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo, Switch | 0 comments
Following our recent list of the best Shiny Pokemon of all time, we’ve put together a list of the absolute worst Shiny Pokemon of all time. When you look at a big list of every Shiny Pokemon, you’ll notice that there are many more average or poor ones than good ones. This is especially prevalent in some of the earlier generations. It’s rumored that Shiny Pokemon colors were originally determined via an algorithm, but we couldn’t actually find any confirmation of this – maybe the developers just got better at picking colors as the years went by. In any case, we’ve looked through every single Shiny Pokemon and included some of the very worst ones here.
