The Mario Kart World attach rate is insane, yet predictable.

I wonder what Nintendo will take away from those BotW and TotK sales.  TotK sold 66% of the numbers BotW managed.

Still the top selling Zeldas ever, right? I could've sworn TotK eold nearly 20 million copies like a year after release, so feels weird to see it at just 22 million sold.

I think because it's seen to be like a part 2 of BOTW.

A "new" Zelda world would be more attractive.

Yes, we can do Termina with BotW gameplay.

So is no one annoyed that you cant play 2D games requiring accuracy, on Switch 2 handheld mode as there's no dpad option?

I had the Hori joycon but cant use it on switch 2 because it was never wireless.

Now there are NQWI and Mobapad split joycon controllers coming. They're around £80 so about the price of the pro controller? Except you can use them for TV and handheld play.

No. I mostly play early 80s arcade games in portable mode; they work better with joycon since most were 4-way directional games.

It still has like 4 years to make up that number though.

Metroid Prime 4 not making the million seller list... not sure what happens to this franchise.

It may have sold a million. Age of Imprisonment sold a million and didn't show up on Nintendo s chart they showed.

Pragmata and RE9 had switch had switch 2 builds playable recently. There were a lot of video previews saying they were great and 60fps most of the time.

Pragmata isn't my idea of a good time. Doing a puzzle in real time while shooting seems annoying.

Voice actress may leak Xenoblade for 2026

04.02.26 - Voice actress Caitlin Thorburn may have leaked a Xenoblade Chronicles for 2026. For example, she writes in her resume that she voiced the role of Kos Mos for a Xenoblade Chronicles; the game is scheduled to be launched in 2026, according to them.

What exactly it is is unclear - perhaps a Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Definitive Edition for Switch 2 or a completely new game is in preparation, although Nintendo has not commented further on the report.

because development is on hold. This was confirmed by Take-Two company spokesman Alan Lewis to Variety.

The Switch 2 version was actually supposed to be released on 03.10.25, but was postponed to an unspecified date in September 2025.
