Persona 5 Strikers has been out in Japan for about a year, but it’s finally heading west next month. We now have gameplay from the Switch version in English, which you can find below.
This past week, Atlus was kind enough to invite us to a pre-release event for the upcoming Switch title Persona 5 Strikers. We were able to go hands-on with the game to see the first full mission, including story, Warriors-style combat, and even the introduction to the mysterious new party member, Sophia.
Atlus has readied a new “All-Out-Action” trailer for Persona 5 Strikers ahead of its release next month in the west. View it below.
Persona 5 Strikers launches for Switch in North America and Europe on February 23.
The Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit – Course Decoration Kit has been up on My Nintendo in North America for a couple of months now. If you’re in Europe, you can now get your hands on the reward as well.
My Nintendo has the Course Decoration Kit here. It costs 600 Platinum Points, but keep in mind that there’s a charge for shipping which is always the case with physical rewards.
More news has emerged from the December 2020 NPD report, specifically how it relates to Switch.
Nintendo has kept up its record with Switch again being the best-selling hardware platform in units and dollars for both December and the 2020 year. Additionally, annual dollar sales of Switch hardware were the second-highest for a platform in U.S. history. Wii is the only system to achieve higher dollar sales, which happened in 2008.
We also have an interesting tidbit about Animal Crossing: New Horizons. In 2020, it had the highest physical dollar sales for a Nintendo-published game in a calendar year since Wii Fit Plus in 2010.
Another round of data is in from this month’s NPD report. We now have a look at the best-selling games in the United States for December on Switch as well as 2020 as a whole. Additionally, there’s a separate chart covering the best-selling titles across all platforms during the last year.
Here’s the full set of data:
Team17, DevM Games, and SMG Studio today announced a new “Moving In” update for the co-op game Moving Out.
The main highlight is that in twelve of the game’s levels, players are tasked with unpacking the van and placing items into their new homes. That’s on top of a new ‘auto snap’ option to the assist mode to help players position items exactly where they’re needed, the ability for players to customize their character’s shirts, and two brand-new dance moves known as The Prospector and Loveshack.
Here’s a trailer:
