We know that the Switch has surpassed lifetime hardware sales of both the GameCube and N64. But how about when you put those two older systems together? As it turns out, Switch still comes out on top.
Switch hardware sales currently sit at 55.77 million units. GameCube sold 21.74 million units while N64 moved 32.93 million. Put those two consoles together and you get 54.67 million, which Switch did indeed surpass and is on track to continue its strong pace.
Switch should soon surpass the NES/Famicom, which sold 61.91 million units in its lifetime.

Panzer Dragoon: Remake appears to be off to a strong start.

Forever Entertainment’s Zbigniew Dębicki says that Panzer Dragoon: Remake is exceeding the company’s expectations. Specific sales data was not provided, however.
There are still significant plans for Panzer Dragoon: Remake. Last week, we heard about a big patch that will offer 60 frames per second, reduced input lag, and more. We have all of the details here.

Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution appears to have been a modest success for Konami. The game has shipped 500,000 copies on Switch, the company recently confirmed. That figure seemingly accounts for worldwide copies since the title ended up on Nintendo’s console last summer.
In March, a major update released for Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution. It added several new cards, content from Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, and updated rules.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution can be purchased both physically and digitally on Switch.
