Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 1 has sold over 600,000 copies, more than 50% on Switch
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Bloodstained first made a name for itself with the Kickstarter campaign created by Koji Igarashi. After the Castlevania series languished for many years, fans were interested in seeing Igarashi do something new with the genre. But Igarashi’s project also spawned a completely different game from Inti Creates in the form of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, a retro action game.
It’s been well over two years since Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon was released, and ultimately it was a big success. Inti Creates CEO Takuya Aizu told Nintendo Everything that the game “is currently at over 600,000 copies sold, thanks in part to a boost powered by the release of Curse of the Moon 2.” We were also informed that more than half of those sales are on Nintendo’s console and Inti Creates is “very grateful to the Switch fans who have played the game so far.”
We’ll have more from Inti Creates soon, as we spoke with the company about Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 and a number of other topics.

Another major third-party franchise is joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in the form of Minecraft. As one would expect, this isn’t something that came together rather quickly. You may be interested to hear just how long something like this has been in the works though.
Former Mojang Studios business developer Daniel Kaplan briefly weighed in on today’s news on Twitter. Apparently, talks of Minecraft in Smash Bros. began “at least five” years ago. When pressed further, Kaplan added that he has “no idea when implementation started.”
Minecraft’s addition to the Super Smash Bros. universe was revealed in a presentation earlier today. Director Masahiro Sakurai will be delivering a lengthy presentation on October 3 to further explain the DLC and will be providing a release date.
