Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Circana has released a listing of the top ten best-selling games in the U.S. for the month of May 2023.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was the biggest release of the month, and it’s no surprise that the game managed to top the chart at #1. Nintendo previously announced that over four million copies were sold alone in the Americas in its first three days. This title was also the fastest-selling Switch game and the fastest-selling Nintendo game for any system in that territory.

Also worth noting, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom amiibo led May accessories in unit sales. Breath of the Wild returned to the top 20 monthly chart in May, placing at #13 after finishing April at #28.

Here’s a look at the complete list of best-selling games in the U.S. for May 2023:

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has revealed that the successor to the Switch will utilise the same “Nintendo Account” system when it releases.

Furukawa shared that information during Nintendo’s recent shareholder Q&A. He stated that the desire was to ensure as smooth a transition for customers as possible. Over 290 million Nintendo Accounts have been made worldwide, so it is unsurprising that Nintendo would want to continue to support this system.

Koei Tecmo have today announced that the combined shipments for the Secret sub-series of Atelier titles has exceeded two million worldwide.

We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie review

System: Switch
Release date: June 2, 2023
Developer: Bandai Namco / Monkey Craft
Publisher: Bandai Namco


Sometimes, the biggest challenge we face as reviewers is in describing simple concepts – take Katamari, for instance. You play as a tiny green man called the Prince, and you’re tasked with rolling around a comically large and sticky ball. You navigate contained levels with the aim of rolling stuff up into that ball, and growing larger as a result. It sounds closer to a cheese-dream than a compelling gameplay loop, doesn’t it? Despite the outlandish premise, Bandai Namco’s Katamari series has garnered a sizable fanbase over the last two decades. While us super-fans collectively pine for a brand new entry in the series, a re-release of the franchise’s phenomenal second outing We Love Katamari has found its way into our lives courtesy of developer Monkey Craft. Out of all of the base expectations you can have for a remake or a remaster, matching or exceeding the original title in every metric is paramount. When it comes to We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie, we get a couple of hits, and a whole bunch of misses.
