Switch

New data from Chart-Track reveals the top five best-selling Switch games of 2017. The results are as follows:

1. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
2. Super Mario Odyssey
3. Zelda: Breath of the Wild
4. 1-2 Switch
5. Splatoon 2

One interesting fact: the top three games have all sold over 300,000 copies. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle also just missed out on reaching the top five. FIFA 18 apparently places at #7. Additionally, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just managed to outsell Super Mario Odyssey.

Darkest Dungeon

When Darkest Dungeon launches on Switch, it could be receiving a physical release. Amazon Germany has added a listing for the “Darkest Dungeon: Crimson Edition”.

At the moment, the listing itself doesn’t provide much information. It only shows that Headup will be publishing, a price point of €39.99, and a tentative March 22 release date.

Red Hook Studios previously indicated that the team hopes to have Darkest Dungeon on Switch sometime this month. This new physical version has not yet been officially announced.

Fire Emblem Warriors has gone on sale over at Amazon. For Switch, you can save $10 on the special edition or $20 on the regular release. The New 3DS version has also been discounted by almost $10.
