Last week, Nintendo reported that Switch has become the fastest-selling home gaming console in the US. Over 4.8 million units have been sold in the country thus far.

Nintendo is also finding similar success in Italy. The Big N says that Switch is selling faster than the Wii through the system’s first ten months, matching the same feat in the US.

As you may remember, we posted a leak in regards to a mysterious new game: Scribblenauts Showdown.

The game now appears to have a Switch listing on Play Asia, a chief gaming import site. It lists a European version launching on March 9.

This listing, combined with the previous leak, makes things look quite promising. And with the rumored Direct this month, maybe we’ll hear from Maxwell sooner rather than later.

Kyoto Shimbun published a new interview with Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishina. Kimishima talked 3DS, movies, confirmed that the sleep-tracking device is still in the works, and more. 

First, when asked about Switch’s success, Kimishima said it has surpassed Nintendo’s expectations. The method of play in which the system can be carried outside despite being a home console has been accepted by people. Once again, Nintendo wants to raise its sales forecast to over 20 million units this year, exceeding the FY2017 expectation of 14 million units. If the goals for FY2017 are reached, then Kimishima thinks Nintendo can change the business flow (from the slumping Wii U), so Nintendo wants to improve this momentum.

Arc System Works has released some information on Cube Creator X for the Switch via their Japanese website; the folks at Gematsu have kindly translated this new info:

Gameplay modes

Essentially, there will be three distinct modes in the game: Adventure Mode, which features a variety of gameplay elements including exploration, combat and communication, Creative Mode, where you can build up an original world at your own pace and Stage Builder Mode, in which you can use gimmick cubes to create unique stages.

Home World

Home World is a new addition to Adventure Mode in this game. It is a sort of hub world from which you can travel to other worlds. There are no enemies here, so you freely customize it, have conversations with citizens, buy items and more.

Evolved Systems

There are three times as many cube types in this game compared to Cube Creator 3D. Also, systems such as height, weight, heat and weather have been added.

Avatar Customization

Avatar customization has been improved and offers more options than ever before, so you can easily create an avatar that suits you.

Finally, there’s also a first gameplay video to be found on the game’s website, sadly without sound though:
