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.
