Nintendo has just kicked off a new 2023 New Year Sale on the Switch eShop featuring games such as Cadence of Hyrule, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Fire Emblem Warriors, and Paper Mario: The Origami King. A few third-party titles are also at their lowest prices ever including Ori and the Blind Forest.
Here’s the full roundup of deals in the 2023 Switch eShop New Year Sale:
New data has been published that reveals the best-selling games in the UK for 2022, and we also know that Switch was the best-selling console of the year.
Nintendo only has one game in the top ten (physical and digital combined) – that being Nintendo Switch Sports. However, had the sales of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet been combined, they would have appeared higher. The new Pokemon titles did see a 36 percent increase over Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Also keep in mind that Nintendo does not report digital data, which limits how high the company’s games chart.
