According to information provided by Tencent, Nintendo has shipped one million consoles in China. That’s based on all systems that have been distributed in the country since launch back in December 2019.
Niko Partners reports that, based on Tencent’s figures, Nintendo has surpassed Sony and Microsoft as China’s biggest console device seller. Additionally, Switch selling one million units is bigger than the combined sales of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One over the same period.
Reuters notes that Switch’s “early sales were hampered by a limited number of available games and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in China,” but later increased thanks to Ring Fit Adventure’s popularity.

A decade after its original release on DS, Monster Tale is making a comeback. Majesco Entertainment has announced plans to bring the title to “modern game platforms” in 2021.
Monster Tale Ultimate was announced for 3DS in 2015, but the project never materialized. Original developer Dreamrift had plans to spruce up “every single aspect of the adventure” with new art assets, stereoscopic 3D support, rebalanced gameplay, and the ability to switch between a new orchestral soundtrack and the original chiptune music. There were also plans for new rooms and areas, adjustments to backtracking, and rebalancing.
Here’s an official overview of Monster Tale from Majesco:

Switch eShop games can no longer be sold for less than $1.99
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Over the years, there have been some pretty insane discounts on the Switch eShop. We’ve even seen sales in which titles were brought down to just a single penny. Now, however, it appears that Nintendo has put a price barrier in place.
According to a developer that has released multiple Switch games, a new rule has been set up. The lowest you’ll see a game is now $1.99 – excluding free-to-play titles, of course.
Last month, GameDiscoverCo founder Simon Carless spoke about Nintendo’s efforts to clamp down on those looking to exploit the Switch eShop charts with heavy discounts. In the past, publishers and developers could easily claim the top spots with a high percentage sale. Nintendo first excluded games that were discounted to a penny. The decision to set the minimum price of Switch eShop titles at $1.99 followed more recently.
