As a fan of the Beat Em' Up genre, this collection strikes the proper balance with each game providing its own unique experience. There is a lack of bonus material and the online multiplayer is a little spotty, but the support for couch co-op is great.
Carl Williams writes, "Here are some fun pieces of retro gaming on sale with Steam right now. For those that do not know, this time of year is the annual Summer Sale. Tons of games go on sale for two weeks or so. For fans of older titles though, this can make it hard to find them. I am going to try and help with that a bit."
Adam Vale of The Koalition writes: The Nintendo Switch surprisingly has become my go-to console for playing two of my favorite genres, arcade-style shooters and straight to the point beat’em ups. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a strong dialogue-heavy adventure/action game but more often than not, I just want to jump in a game to shoot bad guys and do some over the top fisticuffs.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate sold 1,220,535 retail units during its opening week in Japan, the latest Media Create sales figures reveal.
Also new last week, the PlayStation 4 version of Just Cause 4 opened at 16,100 retail units, and Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle opened at 7,318 units on PlayStation 4 and 5,903 units on Switch.
On the hardware side, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate pushed Switch hardware sales to 281,222 (compared to the previous week’s 120,546), while the PlayStation 4 family moved 74,496 units and the 3DS family moved 14,272 units.
Unbelievable the Switch has sold 400k in two weeks in Japan 0_o
Switch is the perfect console for Nintendo I wouldn't be surprised if their next gen console in 4-5 years is just a Switch 2
Yeah!! December will be very hot for Switch in Japan. It is possible to have 1,000,000 consoles sold in one month.
Nintendo literally "smashed" the competition. Over 1.2 million copies of Smash in one week. 280k Switches sold making it almost 500k in the past 3 weeks alone. PS4 actually did really well too, 75k is no slouch of a sales number.
13 of the 20 titles in the list belong to the Switch, including the top 6 spots. Almost every title that charted for Nintendo was an exclusive too.
Lime, where you at buddy.. I miss your comedy.
He's been missing for around a month now, i noticed because he stopped sending me constant hourly PMs about how bad the Switch is.
MIA since he realised the Switch is brilliant and it's selling phenomenaly.
He's probably made a new account called 80"sNintendoGamer haha
He's back, he just sent me like 3 PMs on how GoW won Goty and Smash selling a few hundred units short of MonHun World is a bad thing.
Don't worry I'm sure he'll peak his out when RE2 and KH3 drops. Until then it's hard for even him to spin this negatively for Nintendo. Not even a price cut and Spider-Man bundled in for free was enough for the PS4 to win a week in Japan and we all know how Lime used to drone on and on about that game for weeks. Lol
Smash had best first week ever for Nintendo game outside of Pokemon and still it's worse than first week for Monster Hunter World on PS4.
Pokemon Let's Go first week worse than FFXV (PS4 version), DQXI (PS4 version) and MHW (PS4 version).
After first 21 months Switch is behind DS, 3DS, Wii and GBA in Japan.
wait what? MHW isn't even an exclusive, so congrats.
Again, you are bragging against games that aren't exclusive. Yet which of the games you listed will sell the most?
Splatoon 2 sold more than MHW, how does that make you feel?
Never in my life will I understand the appeal of these games, no surprise by these numbers Japan clearly adores Nintendo
Lol. Try and play smash Bros ultimate, you will soon get "the appeal" if the game. It's the best fighting game there is.
It's more of a hardcore game than most of the multiplat trash that releases nowadays.
I love Smash, but best there is is subjective lol. People will say the same about Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.
well I tell you one thing, I've never been a fan of fighting game but this one I just can't stop playing.
It's pretty accessible to newcomers like me.. although I suspect I'll have my ass kicked hard if I try to go online
You are talking as if Smash is a niche title or something. Smash is also number one in the UK and it is most likely to be number one is the US as well.
According to birthrate data from the last decade we can see its the complete opposite
Smash is gonna be an evergreen title as well. That's the scary part. This game isn't done by a long shot.
Also, Pokemon Let's Go already passed a million, so that's more great news as well.
There's going to be a point where the Switch will need a really nice price drop to become appealing to people that don't already own one. That will also boost software sales significantly, because there are titles like Smash, and Zelda, which almost every Switch owner will eventually purchase.
Outside of Final Fight and Captain Commando which I only knew about because of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 I never heard of any of the other games. That said I love all of them. I was truly missing out on some real gems. Armored Warriors and Battle Circuit are my favorite games in the bundle. Modding your mechs in Armored Warriors with parts from defeated is awesome and I love the over the top nature of Battle Circuit which is not unlike Captain Commando now that I was actually play his game.
