New data has been published that reveals the best-selling games in the UK for 2022, and we also know that Switch was the best-selling console of the year.
Nintendo only has one game in the top ten (physical and digital combined) – that being Nintendo Switch Sports. However, had the sales of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet been combined, they would have appeared higher. The new Pokemon titles did see a 36 percent increase over Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Also keep in mind that Nintendo does not report digital data, which limits how high the company’s games chart.
Digital Foundry has an early look at Fire Emblem Engage with a new technical analysis, which covers elements like frame rate and resolution. Based on what was said, it seems that this title is a step up compared to the last entry in the series, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, from a presentation perspective.
