Switch accounts for 39% of Valkyria Chronicles 4’s debut sales in the UK
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Initial data from this week’s UK software sales are in, providing interesting information about the debut of Valkyria Chronicles 4. It ended up at the ninth position in its first week on the all formats chart. Valkyria Chronicles 4 sold the most on PlayStation 4 at 54%, but Switch wasn’t too far behind at 39% while Xbox One followed last at 7%.
FIFA 19 appeared at the top of the charts in its first week. Unsurprisingly, Switch wasn’t really a factor here as was the case in 2017. The platform breakdown was 64% for the PS4, 35% for Xbox One, and 1% for Switch.
We’ll have more information from the latest UK charts when Chart-Track fully updates tomorrow.

SEGA leaves the door open to Shenmue I & II on Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Prior to the Tokyo Game Show last week, a fan poll was held to determine the most wanted SEGA Ages games for Switch. Jet Set Radio topped the list, but right behind it was Shenmue I & II. While both of these titles were just recently re-released on modern platforms, Switch was left out of the equation. Perhaps that could that change in the future.
4Gamer interviewed localization director Hiroji Noguchi and localization producer Eigo Kasahara around TGS. The site brought up the interest in seeing Shenmue on Switch, and neither of them shot down the possibility. In fact, bringing Shenmue to Switch is something Kasahara would like to consider.

A new game was revealed for the SEGA Ages lineup on Switch during the Tokyo Game Show today. The news was just delivered during a stage show event.
This announcement is quite significant. Many years ago, SEGA and M2 expressed interest in bringing Virtua Racing to 3DS during the SEGA 3D Classics era, but it never panned out. Now the two sides will finally be able to make a digital release possible on Nintendo’s console.
