At this point, we don’t need to go over what a huge success Switch has been. It has blown everyone’s expectations out of the water, including Nintendo’s.

We’ve seen how well Switch can do when enough stock is available, and a new stat from analyst Mat Piscatella from NPD further puts this into perspective. According to Piscatella, physical software sales for the console in the United States “are on pace to be the biggest ever for a Nintendo platform launch year since ’95, by a fairly large margin.”

Worth noting, sales started to be tracked in 1995. So Switch is performing just about as well as Nintendo could have hoped – both with the hardware and physical software sales as well.

Atlus has a new Etrian Odyssey V trailer focusing on the Shaman class. We have the video along with a brief introduction below.

Sometimes a party doesn’t need more damage dealers or absorbers. Sometimes a party needs someone who can bring the buffs and make the team an even deadlier fighting machine than before. Luckily, the wise and powerful Shamans does just that and more! The spiritual Shaman is a support class that utilizes various prayers to help allies deal more damage and take more hits. Besides helping boost stats and raising resistances for the party, Shamans can even nullify all of its buffs to unleash a deadly attack wave against foes. In the right situations, this move can mean the difference between life or death.
