Super Rare Games is expanding its lineup of physical release on Switch with five more additions. Abzu, Deponia Collection, Inmost, Super Crush KO, and Vigil: The Longest Night will be offered in boxed form.

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
This month’s NPD report brought plenty of news concerning software sales in the United States for February, but there are a few hardware tidbits as well. It’s now been revealed that Switch was the best-selling platform in terms of both units and dollars.
We’ll also mention that Switch was the unit sales leader in the first quarter of 2021 as a whole. PlayStation 5 came out on top in terms of dollar sales for the period, though it’s worth noting that the console costs more.
