Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
After it was previously rumored, it’s been officially announced that Dragalia Lost is crossing over with Persona 5 Strikers.
As part of the event, Dragalia Lost will feature a new story in which Joker and his friends join forces with the Halidom to solve a strange incident. Graphics and animations are included that look like they came out of Persona 5 Strikers. Players can summon Joker as an adventurer, and once his Dragon Gauge is full, he can call upon Arsène to fight in battle. Another adventurer will join the roster as you complete quests as well.
The Persona 5 Strikers collaboration goes live in Dragalia Lost in late January. View the event’s reveal video below.

Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Earlier this week, Acquire announced plans to bring Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed to Switch. The game was also given a release date of May 20 in Japan.
Clouded Leopard Entertainment has now followed up for some news in Asia. Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed will be distributed on that same day as well, and English support is confirmed.
XSEED previously announced plans to publish Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed in North America. However, that was back in 2019, so it’s currently unknown if the company will be handling the Switch version as well. While it’s likely, even if it doesn’t happen, we at least know that an English version will be offered on Switch thanks to the upcoming Asian release.
Here’s the full announcement for Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed:

Here’s an impressive little Switch tidbit for you. It turns out that Nintendo’s console sold as much as the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One combined in the UK last year. Unfortunately, we don’t have specific sales figures.
One big reason for Switch’s success in 2020 was Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It was the second best-selling boxed game of the year in the UK. Looking at individual platforms, Animal Crossing was the top seller overall, outperforming the PS4 version of FIFA 21.

Microsoft has been going strong with the Xbox brand for a few generations of hardware. Originally though, the company could have pursued a much different path.
