GameStop: Switch exceeding its expectations, selling out in hours, strong sales to continue
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 16 Comments
GameStop is once again talking up Switch’s strong start and sales.
While speaking with Forbes, senior director of merchandising Eric Bright said Nintendo’s new platform is exceeding expectations. Lining up with what has been seen so far, it’s selling out in hours rather than days. Bright added that high Switch sales are likely to continue “for quite some time.”
Bright’s full words:
“It’s exceeding our expectations. We knew it would be a high demand product, but our Switch allocations are selling out not in days, but in hours…the demand is so high that consumers have to react quickly to be able to get their hands on them. Right now we’re not seeing sales going down at all, and I would expect that to continue for quite some time.”

Constructor was originally planned for Switch’s launch. Shortly after that news was shared, we heard about a delay to April 28. It’s now been pushed back again, as System 3 now says we should be seeing it sometime this summer. We’re unclear why Constructor isn’t ready, though hopefully we won’t have to report on any additional delays.

Capcom has yet to fully jump on with Switch. Ultra Street Fighter II is slated for May, but no other games have been announced by the publisher so far. Perhaps that will be changing soon.
In its latest financial report, Capcom highlights multiplatform develop. Switch is specifically called out as a platform the company is pursuing.
Capcom has said that it is looking to bring the RE Engine to Switch. When done, it may be easier to release titles on Nintendo’s console.

ARMS: New fighter Helix revealed
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch, Videos | 33 Comments
Nintendo has steadily been revealing some new information about ARMS recently, mostly through the game’s official Japanese Twitter account. It’s been interesting stuff like alternate costumes, but nothing too major. Today, however, they revealed an entirely new fighter – Helix. Turns out that the “Lab” stage that has been showcased a lot lately is his “home” stage as Helix seems to be a creation of this lab. His design is inspired by DNA strands (and he is literally called “DNA Man” in the Japanese version). Check out his reveal trailer:
Incidentally, Helix is one of the four characters that were accidentally revealed during the latest Nintendo Direct.
