With the release of Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda, a couple of interesting tidbits have come to light including a neat Easter Egg.
Over on the back of the device, you’ll notice that there’s a Triforce. Turn the lights off (or at least dim them), and you’ll see that the design lights up. It’s nothing overly major and it’s something that can be easily missed, though it’s a neat little detail.
Here’s a close look:
NPD has shared information about the debut of Metroid Dread in the United States, revealing that the game is off to a fantastic start.
According to today’s report, the Switch title had the highest launch month sales of any Metroid franchise release in tracked history. Launch month dollar sales nearly doubled those of the previous franchise best, Metroid Prime. And keep in mind that this only applies to physical data – Nintendo doesn’t report digital, so it almost certainly did even better than that.
According to this month’s NPD report, Switch was the best-selling hardware platform of October 2021 in the United States. That goes for both unit and dollar sales.
Switch is the best-selling hardware platform of 2021 thus far when it comes to unit sales. PlayStation 5 leads in dollars, though keep in mind that Sony’s console is more expensive.
