This month’s NPD report hasn’t been published just yet, but we do have some early information. Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg actually shared a very noteworthy tidbit on Twitter.
Greenberg indicated that Switch came out on top last month. According to the data he has access to, Nintendo’s console sold the most overall hardware units in December.

Nintendo has announced that patch 2.2.0 for Splatoon 2 will be released next week, on January 17th at 10 AM JST. This will be a fairly major balance update with changes to a lot of weapons. Fans have kindly translated the patch notes, which we’ve put below. We will inform you once Nintendo publishes the official English patch notes.
It’s the end of the week, which means another new weapon is coming to Splatoon 2. The Dapple Dualies Nouveau are identical to the regular Dapple Dualies in terms of stats, but come with the Toxic Mist sub-weapon and the Ink Storm special instead. They’ll be available tomorrow around noon in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and later tonight in North America.
The newest banner for Fire Emblem Heroes is now available and will last til January 25th. You can obtain Zelgius, Sothe and Micaiah.
There is also an update adding maps to the arena involving trenches and increasing the hero merit limit.
Update: Full patch notes added below.
Original:The newest ARMS update dishes out some new balance changes to the game. Nothing too major.
Thanks to a listing on the eShop, we have the file size for the new Switch version of Darkest Dungeon. You’ll need 2.3GB for the download.
Darkest Dungeon releases for Switch as a digital download on January 18. Touchscreen controls will be supported.
It’s worth noting that Amazon Germany recently listed a physical version of Darkest Dungeon for Switch. However, that has not yet been officially announced.
