CD Projekt Red reported sales for the first half of 2020 this week. It was good news for the company, as revenue saw a 70 percent jump.
What’s noteworthy in the Nintendo scene is a brief but interesting comment from Piotr Nielubowicz, VP and CFO of CD Projekt. Nielubowicz said that The Witcher 3 experienced “unceasing popularity” and the Switch version achieved “excellent sales”.
Here’s the full notice from the report:
The Legend of Heroes is starting to find a home on Switch through the Kiseki series. Trails of Cold Steel III just launched on Switch this summer, and Trails of Cold Steels IV is following in 2020.

Nintendo doesn’t typically work with external partners on Mario Kart games, but that’s exactly what happened with Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. Velan Studios, a company in New York founded in 2016 by former Vicarious Visions heads Karthik Bala and Guha Bala, is leading the way on development. This is one of their first projects.
Once yesterday’s announcement was made known, Velan Studios shared a blog post about the company and a bit about the game itself. You can read it in full below.
ConcernedApe has teased the big 1.5 update for Stardew Valley. Another screenshot was shared today, which you can find above.
The 1.5 update was announced back in February. Last month, it was confirmed that players will be able to move their beds.
Stardew Valley originally launched for Switch back in October 2017. A new physical version is coming soon.

Here’s an overview of Strife: Veteran Edition, along with a trailer:
Nintendo will officially release Switch in Brazil on September 18, it’s been announced. However, the system will come at quite the cost. In Brazil, Switch will set buyers back R$2999, which amounts to about $560.
