The latest UK sales were reported earlier today. Following up on the initial news, we have some extra tidbits about FIFA 18 and Bayonetta 2 on Switch.
Regarding FIFA 18, sales saw a massive spike of 494% with physical sales. The reason? A heavy price cut. FIFA 18 was reduced to under £30 in the UK.
As for Bayonetta 2, we’re hearing that the game sold fewer physical copies at launch compared to Wii U. While it did place higher at #5 this week, it did so with a lower amount of units sold. However, one thing to note is that digital sales from the eShop are not included.
Originally announced in V Jump a few days ago, Shoto Todoroki, Ochaco Uraraka, and Tenya Iida are all confirmed for My Hero Academia: One’s Justice. Bandai Namco has now made the news official.
We have screenshots for the three characters below. Information about each one is also included after the break.
This Thursday, Kemco will be putting the RPG Dragon Sinker on Switch. Have a look at some footage in the video below.

Back in December, Shin Megami Tensei V producer Kazuyuki Yamai said that the game’s development was in a “scrap-and-build phase.” But in a new interview with 4Gamer, Yamai has indicated that full-scale development has now started.
4Gamer asked about the status of Shin Megami Tensei V in a recent interview. In response, Yamai stated (as translated by Persona Central):
Fire Emblem Heroes will be getting some adjustments to arena and arena assualt matching. Players shouldn’t run into overly powerful or weak opponets as often anymore after the adjustments take place on February 27th.
New scans emerged this past week for two of Bandai Namco’s anime games. The latest characters were revealed for My Hero Academia: One’s Justice, and Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku was revealed as new DLC in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.
ShonenGames has now provided translations of both scans. You can find them attached below.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Persona Q2 is back at the top for Nintendo-related titles, and Bayonetta 3 reappears.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between February 1 and February 7.
Saturday Morning RPG was recently confirmed for Switch, and it was notable for two reasons. For one thing, it was announced as Limited Run Games’ first title for the console, meaning it will be receiving a physical release. It’s also a new game for the system – and a pretty good one at that.
Josh Fairhurst, the boss of Mighty Rabbit Studios, has actually been wanting to make a sequel to Saturday Morning RPG. And if it does well on Switch, that could pave the way for a sequel.
Fairhurst recently tweeted:
