Civilization VI

Take-Two reported its financial results for the third quarter today. There’s one aspect in particular that should be encouraging for Nintendo fans.

Take-Two says that Civilization VI, which launched last November, “significantly exceeded expectations”. It also released NBA 2K19, NBA 2K Playgrounds 2, and Carnival Games in 2018.

The latest Japanese hardware sales from Media Create are as follows:

Switch – 69,472
PS4 – 15,074
PS4 Pro – 10,540
New 2DS LL – 3,622
Vita – 1,521
New 3DS LL – 1,188
2DS – 104
Xbox One X – 86
Xbox One – 17

Nintendo has revealed this month’s NES offerings for Switch Online. Two more games are joining the lineup in the west on February, including Super Mario Bros. 2 and Kirby’s Adventure.

In Japan, Nintendo will be throwing another game in the mix: Tsuppari Oozumou. This is the second month in a row that Japan has had an extra game. However, anyone who creates a Japanese account on their Switch system regardless of their region can play Tsuppari Oozumou.

The way that Switch works currently, Nintendo’s online architecture doesn’t properly support voice chat. That’s why we’ve seen something like Fortnite taking a different approach, which happens to use Vivox.

Vivox is taking its Switch plans a step further by announcing that it’s making a software development kid available to add text and voice chat to Switch games. Third-parties will be able to take advantage of the same functionality that Fortnite has been offering.

Nintendo and Microsoft already share a relationship through Minecraft and its support of cross-platform play between Switch and Xbox One. However, it seems this can be taken a step further.

At GDC next month, Microsoft will be hosting a panel to discuss its goal of having Xbox Live cross-platform play on additional titles outside of Minecraft. As Window Central notes, “Developers will be able to bake cross-platform Xbox Live achievements, social systems, and multiplayer, into games built for mobile devices and Nintendo Switch, as part of its division-wide effort to grow Xbox Live’s userbase.”
