If you keep up to date with our regular Japanese chart updates, you'll have spotted that Nintendo Switch games made up the entire top ten last week. That's actually a pretty common occurrence these days, but it turns out that last week's performance was even better than we could have imagined.
Gori: Cuddly Carnage is out this summer, an adult-themed action platformer featuring a hero cat with a hoverboard that fights against mutated toys who destroyed the world.
The second game from Aggro Crab, Another Crab’s Treasure is a unique Soulslike about a crab searching for his shell.
A by-the-numbers action game with a story that only occasionally lives up to the original work.
A combination of having a system readily available and software that's compelling to Japan will so that. Congrats Nintendo.
This is impressive, but there is a downside for Nintendo. When the Wii was selling this impressively, so was the Nintendo DS. With the Switch, Nintendo had to combine two of their platforms into one.
Edit: I want to emphasis how great this is for Nintendo. They are changing the landscape with this hybrid much like they did with the Wii. Very few companies can pull this off. Look forward to the Steam Deck.
Yeah..........we never getting a powerful Switch at this point. It's a wrap.
That's great for Nintendo. I've admittedly been less interested in the switch since the steamdeck was announced.
Big third party announcements don't really matter anymore since they'll play better on the steamdeck.
