Following its release in June of this year, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana has now gone over 500,000 units sold worldwide across all platforms, developer Falcom confirmed earlier tonight.
At this time, it is unclear how many of these sales came from the Switch version of the JRPG title specifically.
A couple of months ahead of its December release in Japan, a handful of new characters have been confirmed for Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists on Switch.
The five characters are listed below.

Hamster has two more classic games in store for Switch next week. The arcade title Alpha Mission and NeoGeo release Savage Reign are slated for October 25, the company has announced.
Here’s an overview of both:
Following up on yesterday’s confirmation by Level-5 that their ten year-old project Ushiro is now planned for Nintendo Switch, even more early details on the horror RPG title are leaking out of this week’s issue of Famitsu.
As part of an interview with Level-5 president and CEO Akihiro Hino, some new comments have surfaced that shed light on how the studio has approached reviving the game that was originally planned for the PSP. In the translation, Hino confirms that development on the Switch version of Ushiro has not yet started, but states that new creators at the company have wanted the project to see a revival. He also shares that there was a lingering feeling of Ushiro being a “ghost project” because they had wanted to return to the title but haven’t quite yet.
As an aside, Hino also shared some insight into a handful of other ongoing Level-5 works. He confirms that development on Dragons and Colonies, Yo-kai Watch 4, and Inazuma Eleven Ares is going quite well, while also teasing that there are other unannounced titles up their sleeve. Although he hints that the company’s 20th anniversary title will have an unexpected approach to online functionality, Hino clarifies that no new games will be announced before the others have released.
The next Atelier game, Atelier Rurua: The Alchemist of Arland 4, has been officially announced in Famitsu. Like the recent entries in the franchise, Gust is developing it for Switch.
Here are the first leaked details out of Famitsu:
