Switch

According to a new report from Ace Securities, Monster Hunter XX for Switch has shipped over 300,000 copies across Asia.

The download ratio is said to be high in Japan. Also, Capcom shipped more than 200,000 units in Japan alone.

Of course, shipped differs from sold. Media Create’s last official figure through September 3 is just over 110,000 copies. However, that number does not account for eShop sales.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 debuted for Switch in Japan this week. Specifically, the game launched on Thursday. We’ll need to wait until next week to see how it’s performed so far, but based on Bandai Namco’s reports, it’s off to a strong start.

Yesterday, Bandai Namco published a tweet saying that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a big hit on Switch. That was followed up by another message earlier today stating that there’s a bit of a shortage for the physical version. More shipments are planned towards the end of this month.

Nintendo Switch

Nintendo has two sets of maintenance periods planned for Switch next week. Certain network services such as online play, rankings, etc. may be affected.

The full schedule is as follows:

Update (9/8): Added in English version of the video.


Original (9/7): The next ARMS update is coming very soon. During the middle of this month, Nintendo should be releasing version 3.0, which will add Lola Pop. The new character, her ARMS, and the new stage won’t be all though.

On the Japanese ARMS Twitter account, Nintendo reveals that ARMS 3.0 will introduce customizable controls. You’ll also be able to adjust the sensitivity of the motion controls.

Here’s a look:

“Play, Doujin!” is a distribution platform for fangames that was launched three years ago as a collaboration between Sony and Touhou Project creator Zun. Now, the service is extending its support to include Switch games as well. As such, you can expect to see more indie games from Japan coming to the system, especially Touhou games since that was the initial focus of the “Play, Doujin!” project.

The first such game coming to the Switch will be the 3D shoot‘em up fighter Touhou Kobuto V, which was developed by Cubetype and is being published by NIS America. As you can see by NIS America’s involvement, the “Play, Doujin!” project on Switch won’t be limited to just Japan, but plans to bring some of its games to the West as well.

Sega is the latest company to reveal all the games it’s bringing to Tokyo Game Show this year. Other than some of Sega’s and Atlus’ own titles, such as Sonic Forces and Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey, Sega is also hosting a bunch of “partner” games from other publishers at their booth, such as EA and Warner Bros. Here’s the full lineup (thanks to Gematsu for the translation):

The latest Pokken Tournament DX character trailer is here, and this one focuses on Machamp. See the Fighting type in action:

We’re nearing the end of the week, which means it’s time for another new weapon in Splatoon 2. The Custom Splattershot Jr. will be added to the game soon – it’ll be available tomorrow at midday in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and late at night tonight in North America. The stats of this weapon are exactly the same as those of the regular Splattershot Jr., but the Custom version comes with the Autobomb sub-weapon and the Ink Storm special weapon.
