Splatoon 2 just missed out on the top spot on this week’s UK charts. It came in second, following Crash Bandicoot: N.Sane Trilogy. On the whole, Splatoon 2 is off to a good start.

You might be interested to hear that Splatoon 2’s first week sales outsold the original. The sequel shifted 59 percent more copies. Splatoon 2 is also Switch’s third biggest launch in the UK after Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

New Switch stock entered the market last week. The move increased sales of Mario Kart by 60 percent and Zelda: Breath of the Wild by 20 percent.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild was developed as an entirely single-player experience. Some fans are trying to turn that concept on its head, however.

Pictures have been shown of an upcoming mod planned for Breath of the Wild. When it’s ready, two people will be able to play the game together. Inputs will be sent through each game. As for how it all works, the mod changes the location of an NPC and swaps the model for Link.

Just don’t expect to see the mod anytime soon. It’s expected that work will take around a year for it to be playable, and in order to experience it, you’ll need to play on Wii U with the CEMU emulator.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 recording sessions were held yesterday and today. Jen Bird from Tomorrow Bird wrapped up a couple of tracks, including the game’s ending theme. It’s thought that the ending song will be a ballad that conveys the meaning of character relationships.

Tomorrow Bird shared the news on Twitter:
