Happy first anniversary, Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Can you believe it’s already been a full year since Switch launched? It’s been a whirlwind for Nintendo, as the system has been more successful than anyone could have predicted.
Switch was released less than two months after its full unveiling following last year’s January presentation. Since then we’ve seen great game after great game, including Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Splatoon 2, and others – and that’s just on the first-party front. Many fantastic third-party games and hit indie titles have helped make Switch’s first year special.
Switch’s first year is officially in the books. We can’t wait to see what lies ahead for the console in the years to follow.
Here are a few messages from Nintendo and other developers:

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Deluxe Edition soundtrack pre-orders given one final restock
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The Xenoblade Chronicles 2 soundtrack was announced earlier this week with various versions. The Luxury USB Music Complete Edition sold out almost as soon as pre-orders went live as just 2,000 units will be produced, but the limited Deluxe Edition (otherwise known as the Luxury CD Music Complete Edition) also ended up selling out.
Fortunately, Amazon Japan has decided on one final restock for the Luxury CD Music Complete Edition. You can reserve it here. Keep in mind that it won’t be restocked again when pre-orders sell out, and no other retailers will be selling this version.
The Luxury CD Music Complete Edition contains all 126 tracks from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, including sixteen jingles and five piano arrangements. It’ll come in a special box with a 120-page booklet, piano score, and message card.
