Five new SKUs for Switch games have popped up in GameStop’s database. These are all mystery titles at present, as each one has the label “Available sku”.
It’s no secret that a Nintendo Direct will be held in just a few hours from now. We don’t have to tell you that there’s a high probability that these SKUs are related. Once the presentation ends, it’s possible that GameStop will begin taking pre-orders for whatever these products are soon after.

Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue already profitable on Switch
Posted on 7 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.
