In a recent news post sent out to Switch owners, Nintendo provided a listing of the top 15 European eShop downloads for May 2018.
In its first month, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze manages to take the top spot. Other notable inclusion is FIFA 18, which finds its way back into the chart and even at the second position.
Amazon UK has opened pre-orders for the Owlboy Limited Edition. You can reserve it here. If you missed out on US pre-orders, note that Amazon UK will ship stateside.

A few days ago, Nippon Ichi released The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince in Japan for Switch. Have a look at a bunch of footage below.
SEGA finally pulled back on its new Sonic game this week. In Winter 2018, Team Sonic Racing will arrive on Switch.
During an official live stream, Aaron Webber from SEGA’s social media and PR team commented on the game a bit further. He confirmed that it will be playable at E3, and footage is coming soon. Webber also said that the project has been in the works for a while.
A few outlets were able to participate in a conference call around the reveal of Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee. Director Junichi Masuda commented on the games further during the conversation.
Speaking about being based around Pokemon Yellow as well as synergy with Pokemon GO, Masuda said:
Guess what’s just one week away? That’s right: E3! The first conference will actually be held on June 9 by EA. Other companies will follow with their own presentations in the days after that, including Nintendo.
If you’re a gamer, E3 is undoubtedly the most exciting time of the year. This goes for Nintendo fans as well even though we have Nintendo Directs to look forward to every now and then. E3 is packed with announcements, footage of new games (including a ton of hours from the Treehouse streams), and much more. Many companies lay out their plans for the rest of the year, as well what’s planned far into the future.
Nearly a year ago, Splatoon 2 fans performed a couple of in-depth datamines. One of these revealed the existence of a new Ranked mode called “Rocket”.

Guns, Gore & Cannoli made it to Switch at the very end of 2017. Its sequel, Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2, shouldn’t be too far away now.
Intragames will be working with Crazy Monkey Studios to publish the game in Japan. In that region, it’s planned for release “around August”, so we should be seeing it around that time if not sooner in the west.
