Pikmin 3 Deluxe

The latest Japanese hardware sales from Famitsu are as follows:

When Nintendo reported its financial results in August, Switch sales were at 61.44 million units sold. Now, however, that number has since climbed to 68.30 million. That means Switch has officially outsold the NES, which sold a total of 61.91 million units.

Switch previously surpassed Wii U (13.56 million), GameCube (21.74 million), Nintendo 64 (32.93 million), and SNES (49.10 million). Next up is 3DS, which is currently at 75.94 million.

Gun Media is moving on from Friday the 13th: The Game. It’s been announced that a final update will be released this month, which will tackle a ton of bugs and more importantly, end dedicated servers.

After servers are shut off, Friday the 13th will still have online functionality. The game is reverting back to peer to peer matchmaking for Quick Play lobbies.

Here’s the full notice posted on the official forums:

System: Switch
Release date: November 3, 2020
Developer: WayForward
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment


The last time Bakugan saw any sort of video game outside of mobile devices was back in 2011 with Rise of the Resistance on DS. Almost nine years later, to the dot, the series is back with Champions of Vestroia. I don’t think Bakugan ever had that sort of grip or longevity something like Yu-Gi-Oh! or even Beyblade has, but it’s gathered enough of a following to warrant continued support of the property so many years later, especially now with the new Switch game. The anime continues on with Bakugan: Armored Aliance following a sort of “reboot” with Battle Planet prior to that, so Champions of Vestroia just adds to a big push from SEGA Toys and Spin Master for the series to return to the forefront where it once sat as Property of the Year in 2009.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe

Pikmin 3 Deluxe debuted around the world towards the end of last week on Switch. While we don’t have concrete data, GamesIndustry does have an interesting tidbit about the game’s performance.

The site is reporting that physical launch sales for Pikmin 3 Deluxe on Switch were 18.5 percent lower than the Wii U original. Keep in mind that digital data isn’t included, and we do know that eShop sales are stronger these days.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe ended up at #7 in its first week on the UK charts. We have the full top 40 here.

This Direct was basically made for Oni Dino. Galen has some theories on Nintendo’s new plans for mid-generation reform with Cloud gaming. Also, that Hyrule Warriors gameplay is surprisingly complex; come for our early impressions.
