Kingdom Come Deliverance Switch listing seems to have been a mistake
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Yesterday, a Switch version of Kingdom Come Deliverance popped up on Nintendo’s Japanese website. The game was listed for a February 18 release. There was some hope – and perhaps an expectation by some – that an official announcement would be happening soon.
Unfortunately though, the listing appears to have been nothing more than an error. PR manager Tobi Stolz-Zwilling indicated that a Switch version of Kingdom Come Deliverance isn’t currently in the cards. No one can say where the listing originated from in the first place, but it’s likely that Nintendo will be removing it soon.

Update (1/4): Post updated with the top 40.
Original (1/3): This week’s UK software sales are in, and it includes significant information about Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Boxed sales of Switch games dipped only 25 percent week-on-week. That’s in contrast to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which fell 48 percent and 53 percent respectively.
Here’s a look at the best-selling games in the UK of the past week:
