New sales data is in from the UK for the month of February 2020.
Switch was the best-selling console of the month, with the console’s neon version performing the best. However, GamesIndustry points out that the system’s sales are flat year-on-year. If we’re only looking at physical software sales, Nintendo would place first with a 19.6 percent share. The Dark Samus amiibo was also the most successful toys-to-life product.
Here’s a look at the best-selling games of February:

It seems like every other game released lately is a retro throwback to the golden gaming days of the past, just with all the rough edges smoothed out. La-Mulana 1 and 2 are a bit different. This infamous pair of puzzle games is designed in the vein of classic PC adventure and puzzle games on the MSX – rough edges included. Whereas most throwbacks tend to tone down the retro difficulty of their inspirations, La Mulana thrives on it. Make no mistake: La-Mulana 1 and 2 are perhaps two of the most challenging puzzle games ever created. While this will likely prove overwhelming for many players, those who long for the incredible payoff that come with overcoming the absurd challenges of La-Mulana’s puzzles will be more than satisfied.
