Following last month’s announcement that Please, Touch the Artwork would be coming to Switch, publisher Nakana.io have revealed that the game will launch via the eShop on September 3, and have today released a demo for the game, which can be downloaded now. A puzzle game developed by Thomas Waterzooi, the game promises a relaxing experience with artwork based on pieces by Piet Mondrian.
Here’s an overview of the game, as well as a trailer:
Hamster has announced that the arcade classic Dig Dug will be the next Arcade Archives title making its way to Switch. Here is some more information on the game.
According to Nintendo, Kirby and the Forgotten Land has experienced the highest sell-through for any entry in the series to date.
That information comes from the company’s latest financial report. In its first 15 weeks, the game sold 4.53 million copies on Switch.
Switch production has been known to be an issue for quite a significant period now due to shortages of components for semiconductors. It’s something that Nintendo has continued to deal with throughout 2022, but it looks like the situation will be improving by the end of the year.
As part of Nintendo’s latest financial results, the company said that hardware production saw a decrease in shipments and sales. Looking from late summer towards the fall though, the Big N is anticipating that there’ll be a gradual improvement in procurement.
This week’s issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine has revealed an updated release date for River City Girls 2 in Japan. The title will now be releasing on December 1, 2022 in the region.
It should be noted that the last update we received for River City Girls 2 was in December 2021, with a trailer providing a Summer 2022 release window for the game. Considering this new Japanese release date, it’s likely that this Summer 2022 release window has slid in other regions as well, in which case we should hear a confirmation for the game’s new worldwide release date soon.
In addition to Nintendo’s financial results for August 2022, the company’s latest release schedule has been provided. It highlights upcoming projects from both a first and third-party perspective.
There’s not too much news to go around, which is mostly a good thing. Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 is still planned for Spring 2023 while Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp is still without a release date.
Here’s the complete schedule:
Other than sharing an overview of its financial results today, Nintendo has also provided an update listing of its million sellers. The latest set of data is available regarding Switch games that have reached that mark.
It’s worth noting that Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Nintendo Switch Sports are both over four million units each. Additionally, Mario Strikers: Battle League is at almost two million.
Here is the full lineup of Nintendo million sellers on Switch for August 2022:
THQ Nordic appears to be preparing a re-release of Risen, and a Switch version could be in the cards.
A rating for the title has now surfaced from USK, the official ratings board in Germany. Switch has its own classification, but no further information is provided on the page.
