It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Pokemon is still at the top for Nintendo titles while Rune Factory 5 sees a big jump.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between October 17 and October 23.
A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Switch eShop. These include games from Capcom, 20XX, Goat Simulator: The GOATY, Owlboy, and more.
Here are the full highlights:
With early Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield players continuing to make their way through the new Switch games, even more new creatures have leaked online. We again have a look at some entirely new Pokemon as well as some Galarian forms and some other big news.
Here’s the full set:
Early data from the past week of sales reveals that Luigi’s Mansion 3 has become the fastest-selling Nintendo game in the UK of 2019 thus far. It beat out The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening to earn that achievement.
While Luigi’s Mansion 3 had a strong debut, it wasn’t the top-selling game in the UK last week. That honor went to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
We should have more news from the latest UK sales charts soon.
Nintendo maintenance is picking up in a big way over the next few days. There’s lots going on with Switch to kick off the week, and even Tetris 99 will have a bit of downtime.
Here’s the current schedule:
Cuphead and Ori and the Blind Forest, two games that were associated with Xbox, are now on Switch. New Super Lucky’s Tale will continue that trend next week. The former Xbox One and PC title will now be gracing Nintendo’s console with a massive amount of additions, improvements, and changes.
Although Microsoft originally published Super Lucky’s Tale, there wasn’t any issue getting approval for the release of New Super Lucky’s Tale on Switch. In an interview with Nintendo Everything, director Dan Hurd said that the company “has been super excited and supportive of our expanding the Lucky franchise across other platforms”.
Hurd told us:
Ritual: Crown of Horns, a fast-paced shooter, debuts on the Switch eShop on November 7. Have a look at some early footage below.
Dark Horse has put out a trailer for the localized version of The Art of Super Mario Odyssey, which finally arrives in the west on Tuesday. View it below.
You can pre-order The Art of Super Mario Odyssey on Amazon here.
Hello, my Fatal Cuties! This week on NEP, we got hit with some Pokemon leaks while recording, but we keep our reactions spoiler-free. We chat some great games we’ve been playing with Atelier Ryza, Luigi’s Mansion and more, then we muse on 3DS games we’d like to see make the jump to Switch. Somehow, we end up arguing with each other over Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. How. How even did that happen. Come have a chill game time with us.
If you’re enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It’s incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!
This week, the podcast is sponsored by Koei Tecmo. Check out Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, out now on Nintendo Switch.
