Switch

Nintendo Japan has put out a new pamphlet for games that are coming to Switch in spring 2021 and beyond. The pamphlet includes new artwork for games such as Pokemon Snap, Apex Legends, and Rune Factory 5. 

These are games that Nintendo is specifically advertising as “recommended software for this spring,” and its a pamphlet that will be distributed both digitally and physically in Japan.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin has just hit an impressive sales mark since its November 10 release. Marvelous has announced that the game has moved over 850,000 units worldwide both digitally and physically.

The publisher did not specify how many of those sales were of Switch copies, but it was reported back in November that the Switch version pre-orders were “2-to-1 over PS4.” Either way, this is quite the feat for a game that has only been out for a few months, and hopefully the sales numbers will continue to climb.
