New sales data has been shared that tells us just how well the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller sold for the console’s launch in the United States.
Based on Circana’s data, the controller moved about 512,000 units. Putting that another way, nearly 1 in 3 Nintendo Switch 2 owner bought one for an attach rate of 32 percent. That’s despite the fact that it costs $85, up slightly from the original $80 asking price before that was changed in light of tariffs.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 turned out to be a fairly standard entry in the Nintendo x SEGA crossover sports series, but it seems that the original plan for the game was originally much grander.
Tons of additional franchises and IPs were apparently going to be added. There was interest in including “Pokemon, Street Fighter, Mega Man, Dragon Ball, Metal Gear Solid, Sonic Family, Mario Family, Zelda some Sony and Microsoft properties / characters.”
Limited Run Games has teamed up with Lucid Dreams Studio on a Nintendo Switch physical release for Biomorph, the company has announced.
Only a standard version is planned at this time. However, each copy comes with an eight-page booklet as a bonus.
VGP – or VideoGamesPlus – has started to make more noise in the video game space over the past few years. While the Canadian retailer has been selling games for awhile, it’s also now become known for restocks of physical releases on Switch. Titles that were generally sold out elsewhere or are hard to come by have been returning at VGP on a regular basis.
Going forward, we’ll be using this post to keep track of Switch physical release reprint / restock updates at VGP. Note that while the retailer is based in Canada, shipping is available in various regions including the United States and the UK. Also, keep in mind that some restocks sell out quickly so you may want to make a move sooner rather than later if you’re interested in a particular game.
