Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue already profitable on Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Sprite shared some encouraging news about the new Switch version of Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue. Ahead of its release, the company confirmed that the title is already profitable on Nintendo’s console.
As Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue doesn’t launch until the end of this month, we won’t have sales data for several weeks. But what this tells us is that pre-orders are strong enough to provide Sprite with a solid return. Visual novels don’t tend to light the sales charts on fire, but reservations are good enough where Sprite won’t lose money on the port, and should be able to receive a decent amount of revenue in the end.

In addition to Mario Tennis Aces, Rakuten Books also leaked something else: Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido, a 3DS game that was announced at last year’s E3 and hasn’t been heard from since, seems to be coming to Nintendo Switch as well, as you can see by the game’s boxart.
