Posted on 6 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch, Wii U | 0 comments
Given how Switch is one of Nintendo’s best-selling platforms of all time, it’s been no surprise to see that many game series have taken off on the system. This has now been highlighted in an official graphic.
Nintendo has given us a look at how Pikmin, Kirby, Metroid, and Xenoblade Chronicles have performed on Switch. When put up against Wii U and 3DS, the comparison isn’t really close. It’s true that Switch hardware sold significantly more than those two older platforms (especially Wii U), but it’s noteworthy nonetheless.

Furthermore, Nintendo Switch Online will be extended to the new platform.
In hindsight, both of these elements feel like fairly obvious inclusions. For one thing, Nintendo has looked to continually increase the appeal of Switch Online over the years with additional benefits, including last week’s launch of Nintendo Music. Also, while there have been some exceptions, Nintendo has been known for its backwards compatibility functionality with many of its devices.
