Kimishima: 1-2-Switch nearly at one million copies, Snipperclips 350,000 downloads, Super Bomberman R 500,000
This information comes from Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima…
1-2-Switch, which was also released at the same time as Nintendo Switch, is likewise on track to ship one million units very soon.
This title has become something of a hot topic due to the way it uses Nintendo Switch in some unconventional ways compared to other game systems. In particular, 1-2-Switch includes a minigame that lets players use the Joy-Con as if they were milking a cow. The realistic sensation players feel thanks to the unique HD Rumble feature in every Joy-Con was noticed by a farm museum in the U.S., and we sent some Nintendo employees to go out and face their dairy farming challenge. This generated additional buzz through media coverage.
The download-only title Snipperclips ‑ Cut it out, together! was developed over a short period by an indie developer. Its boisterous play style that gets people working together has been highly praised, and it has already been downloaded over 350 thousand times worldwide.
Third-party publishers have also had a strong start for their software releases. Among these, Nintendo shipped over 500,000 units of Konami Digital Entertainment’s SUPER BOMBERMAN R in March; less than a month since the release of Nintendo Switch.
