Nintendo published its quarterly sales results earlier today, revealing decent sales for the past quarter. However, some industry analysts had predicted higher sales numbers and a bigger profit, Bloomberg reports: analysts expected a quarterly operating profit of 37.9 billion yen, whereas Nintendo only reported a profit of 30.9 billion yen. Nonetheless, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa seems optimistic that the company will reach its target figure of 20 million Switch systems sold in this fiscal year. He said today that “from the beginning we decided on a target that would be challenging to reach, not easy. The holiday season battle begins now.”

Asked about his plans for Nintendo Switch in the future, Furukawa provided the following quote:

“We need continuous growth. We must keep releasing new software. That includes DLCs and other contents for big titles that are already out. And more focus on online play. Lastly, more genres and diverse games to draw in people who don’t currently play on Switch.”

On top of the already planned port of Back in 1995, Japanese developer Throw the Warped code out today announced that they are also bringing a four-player co-op robot action game to the Switch in the form of Demolition Robots K.K..

Although no release date has been revealed quite yet, some preliminary details have been shared through the game’s official website. From the sound of things, a team of up to four players will be tasked to work together and destroy an entire city as efficiently as possible, as damaging friends will result in a penalty and less payout for completion of the job.

Kicking it off quickly, it has been confirmed that a prototype version of Demolition Robots K.K. will be playable at the Digital Games Expo 2018 on November 4 in Akihabara.

Some early screens of the game can be viewed in the gallery below.
