GAME reports Switch sales, most games sold physically
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 13 Comments
European retailer GAME published its latest financial report this week. In the document, the retailer shares insight into Switch sales across the UK and Spain.
One big number is 469,000. That’s the amount of units that have been sold in the UK and Spain. According to GamesIndustry, this figure is roughly 49 percent of what the Wii managed to do over the same period, though one thing to note is how Switch debuted in March rather than the holiday season. It’s also 300 percent of what the Wii U sold. Sales have been steady and have only decreased during stock shortages.

[Review] Ittle Dew 2+
Posted on 7 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch, Switch eShop | 12 Comments
System: Switch
Release date: November 14, 2017
Developer: Ludosity
Publisher: Nicalis
Years after Ludosity’s well-received Ittle Dew back in 2013 on Steam before making its way to consoles about a year later, Ittle Dew 2+ is here and makes its way over to the Switch, offering fans of top-down dungeon crawlers and old-school Zelda players something to look forward to, and a sequel that finds itself just as wildly charming and humorous as it was the first time around. The game brings with it some new treats that make it feel like a fresh, albeit familiar, new adventure for our protagonists Ittle Dew and Tippsie.
