These lines may ring a bell if you’ve played through Xenoblade Chronicles 2:
– “Think you can take me?”
– “Don’t forget me!”
– “You’re done!”
Switch has actually sold more units in its first ten months in Portugal than Wii U managed to in five years. To date, the system has moved 20,000 units.

Gadgets 360 is reporting that Nintendo employees have been visiting India as it evaluates games from studios for potential release on its platforms. Bengaluru-based Holy Cow Productions posted a message on Facebook earlier today backing up the claim:
Nintendo hasn’t had much of a presence in India, and the Switch isn’t actually available for purchase at the moment. Still, the system is still being sold unofficially online and offline. Gadgets 360 has also heard from a buyer for a large format retail chain, “We see more customers asking for the Nintendo Switch than they do for the PS4 or Xbox One.”
