Switch

A whole bunch of NES games will be offered to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers when the service officially starts this month. As we know, they’ll come with new functionality in the form of online play.

Nintendo gave a brief update on one of these games, Mario Bros., in a tweet earlier today. Online co-op will be supported, allowing you to take control of Mario and a friend as Luigi – or vise versa.

Nintendo Switch Online will kick off in the latter half of September.

Here’s the overview:

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Persona Q2 hold on to their positions while Yo-kai Watch 4 appears for the first time.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between August 9 and August 22.

My Hero: One's Justice

During the week of August 20, My Hero: One’s Justice was the best-selling title of the week in Japan. According to Media Create data, between the Switch and PlayStation 4 versions, it sold roughly 40,000 copies.

Switch is actually where a majority of sales came from. Media Create has the Switch version at 24,626 copies sold while it moved 16,026 units on PlayStation 4.

Dengeki chimes in with some extra information as well. My Hero: One’s Justice managed to sell through 75% of its initial shipment. It also did better than the 3DS title My Hero Academia: Battle for All, which sold just over 5,000 copies in its first week and a bit of 30,000 copies in total.

Redout was one among the first games that we knew about for Switch. However, the racer still has yet to release on Nintendo’s platform. Could we finally be seeing it soon?

This week, Redout was finally rated by the ESRB. Usually when a title receives its ESRB rating, it’s one of the last steps prior to launch. 34BigThings did say in July that it would be announcing “something amazon” soon, though there hasn’t been any news just yet.
