The next title I want to talk about is OCTOPATH TRAVELER, released in July of this year by SQUARE ENIX. This is an RPG featuring a special kind of graphics known as “HD-2D,” which is a fusion of 2D sprites and 3D graphics. This completely original title for Nintendo Switch earned high marks from game media reviewers and also has been well received by actual playing consumers. Despite this being a completely original title, SQUARE ENIX announced that global shipments and download sales reached 1 million units within three weeks of release. According to them, both shipments
and sell-through continued to climb after that, and sellthrough has now surpassed 1 million units.

Distribution of the Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite Battle Royale from Epic Games began during E3 this past June, and since then it has shown up everywhere, not just in the US and Europe but also in Japan. It has gained so much momentum that it has been downloaded to nearly half of all Nintendo Switch systems worldwide. Many people continue to play the game, boosting the overall utilization ratio of Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch is unique in that people can bring their consoles with them so they can communicate while playing at a friend’s house or elsewhere.
Super Mario Party has sold 1.5 million units around the world, Nintendo has announced. That important piece of data comes from the company’s financial results briefing, which is currently in progress.
Nintendo indicated during the briefing that it is happy with Super Mario Party’s performance thus far. It has momentum ahead of the holiday season, and is leading to a boost in Joy-Con sales.
