Little Nightmares II

ElAnalistaDeBits has put together a video comparing the Switch and PS4 versions of Little Nightmares II, both in terms of graphics and frame rate. Give it a look below.

Little Nightmares II is planned for February 11 on Switch.

The success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is well-documented at this point. It sold incredibly well in 2020, including in Australia. In fact, it was the region’s best-selling game of the year overall.

Speaking of success, Nintendo was the top publisher of 2020 with a 16 percent market share. If you only count physical games (the company doesn’t report digital data), the number increases to 29 percent. Switch sales were up 88 percent year-over-year while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold 88 percent more boxed copies than it did in 2019.

Here’s a look at Australia’s best-selling games of 2020:

Buddy Mission Bond

Nintendo has shared the opening movie for Buddy Mission Bond, its new adventure game for Switch. Watch the video below.

Buddy Mission Bond releases for Switch in Japan on January 21. As of now, there’s no word on a release for the west.

Before Captain Toad got his own game, he was featured in Super Mario 3D World. The Wii U game originally introduced the puzzle mechanics that would later spawn an entirely standalone adventure.

Super Mario 3D World is now making a return on Switch, and those original Captain Toad levels are naturally coming back as well. Now, however, they’ll include a new addition. The official website for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury confirms that multiplayer is supported. You’ll be able to take on the puzzle stages with up to three other players. On Wii U, they were single-player only.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury launches for Switch on February 12.

Monster Jam Steel Titans 2

THQ Nordic and Feld Entertainment today announced Monster Jam Steel Titans 2, the next entry in the off-road racing series. It will launch on March 2.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

Nintendo Switch

More news has emerged from the December 2020 NPD report, specifically how it relates to Switch.

Nintendo has kept up its record with Switch again being the best-selling hardware platform in units and dollars for both December and the 2020 year. Additionally, annual dollar sales of Switch hardware were the second-highest for a platform in U.S. history. Wii is the only system to achieve higher dollar sales, which happened in 2008.

We also have an interesting tidbit about Animal Crossing: New Horizons. In 2020, it had the highest physical dollar sales for a Nintendo-published game in a calendar year since Wii Fit Plus in 2010.
