Switch Sales 5 Million Japan

Nintendo’s Switch console has been a big hit in the states, but it’s no slouch overseas, either. One place it’s really lighting things up is in Japan, where the console has just surpassed a truly impressive sales milestone. Famitsu sales data has revealed that the console has surpassed 5 million units sold since the March 3rd, 2017 launch.

These are huge numbers considering that the console is only a year and a half old, with the sale’s easily eclipsing that of the Wii U. As for what the best-selling games for the console are, they are certainly in a different order when compared to the best-selling games in the states. The top 5 best-selling Switch games are the following:

Splatoon 2 – 2,621,928 units sold
Super Mario Odyssey – 1,788,228 units sold
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 1,738,502 units sold
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 1,065,780 units sold
Kirby: Star Allies – 591,721 units sold

It’s really surprising to see that Splatoon 2 is the best-seller here, especially seeing that it takes the top spot by nearly 1 million units sold. The game is definitely a bigger hit in Japan than it is elsewhere, though that’s not to say that it hasn’t found success in other regions. However, the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey are simply juggernauts that are hard to match elsewhere.

As for what games could break into this top five list in the near future, Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are two games that are sure to light up the sales charts later this year. The former is the first time a main series installment has appeared on a home console, and the latter is shaping up to be the most feature-packed installment in the critically-acclaimed fighting series.

Dead Cells’ Return to Castlevania expansion, which came out a few weeks ago and is really good, is a great way to relive your childhood and enjoy a nostalgic distraction. A native PS5 physical release of the game is in the works, and it looks like we’ll be getting a bundle with both versions of the game.

Gematsu found a listing for “Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania Edition” on the ESRB website. It was rated T for Teen, which suggests that an announcement is coming soon.

After its initial 2018 release on PS4 to widespread acclaim, Dead Cells has received a steady stream of updates, and we think a bundled SKU including DualSense support and all the other PS5 bells and whistles would be awesome. What do you think of Return to Castlevania if you’ve been playing it?

Is Marvel’s Midnight Suns on the PlayStation 5 your curios? Over the weekend, anyone who wanted to could try out the tactical superhero game for free. Unfortunately, due to a few mistakes, it hasn’t been helping everyone. The good news is that this hiccup has been fixed, and the trial has been extended to make up for lost time:

As a result, until Thursday, March 30th, all PS5 owners can enjoy the game at no cost. You’ll have plenty of time to check it out after that.

Firaxis’ Marvel’s Midnight Suns gives familiar heroes and villains a fresh spin through the use of turn-based strategy and role-playing game elements. You’ll be able to hang out with Marvel’s Blade, Captain Marvel, and Wolverine when you’re not engaged in tactical battles. The game has its own style and is fun to play.

It’s also important to note that PS Plus Premium members can play the game for two hours for free. That’s why it’s not the end of the world if you can’t take advantage of this protracted trial period.

Will you be using this demo to check out Marvel’s Midnight Suns on the PS5?
