The success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is well-documented at this point. It sold incredibly well in 2020, including in Australia. In fact, it was the region’s best-selling game of the year overall.
Speaking of success, Nintendo was the top publisher of 2020 with a 16 percent market share. If you only count physical games (the company doesn’t report digital data), the number increases to 29 percent. Switch sales were up 88 percent year-over-year while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold 88 percent more boxed copies than it did in 2019.

Before Captain Toad got his own game, he was featured in Super Mario 3D World. The Wii U game originally introduced the puzzle mechanics that would later spawn an entirely standalone adventure.
Super Mario 3D World is now making a return on Switch, and those original Captain Toad levels are naturally coming back as well. Now, however, they’ll include a new addition. The official website for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury confirms that multiplayer is supported. You’ll be able to take on the puzzle stages with up to three other players. On Wii U, they were single-player only.
