Zelda: Breath of the Wild has done remarkably well in Japan. It’s the second-highest-selling Zelda game in Japan since Ocarina of Time, which released in 1998. All other entries that have released over the past 18 years have been outsold.

Since launch, Zelda: Breath of the Wild has sold 957,752 copies at retail. If digital sales were counted, the total amount is certainly over one million. The latest Wii U figures are also not counted here.

Crypt of the NecroDancer: Nintendo Switch Edition launches in Japan next Thursday. Ahead of the release, Spike Chunsoft has revealed some new information about the game.

Reaper is a playable character who makes its first appearance in the Switch version of Crypt of the NecroDancer. Defeated enemies will turn into souls and float around Reaper, and they can also attack enemies. Souls will disappear if they take damage. The more enemies you defeat, the more souls you’ll have. In addition to giving a powerful attack method, they can also become a thick shield that protects the player.

Reaper does not have any unlock requirements; you can use it right after purchasing the game.
