Two Konami games on Switch were on number 1 and 2.
But Konami still don't want to port Dance Dance Revolution A20+ to Nintendo Switch. 😑
Wow even with all the big games no longer in the top 10, the Switch manage to sell more units than the last two weeks. With Tales of Arise coming in three weeks for everything except Switch, maybe Sony will had a chance to be in the top 10 temporarily soon.
90.000 units sold in a week like this? Switch is on fire.
Wow look at those switch figures 😱😱
Next gen is in crisis over there! I knew it would have a slow uptake...but jeez.
At this point, Konami should really be making Switch their go to platform. Any chance of Zone of the Enders and Metal Gear Solid? Gradius 4 maybe?
@GrailUK
And BEMANI games on Nintendo Switch ? 😁
@Anti-Matter Mate, I've been watching Parapara videos on Youtube. I am really getting an itch to revisit those games.
@GrailUK
Kick! Punch! It’s all in the mind.
@FatWormBlowsASparky That's PaRappa the Rappa. Para Para Paradise is a Bemani game. Imagine if they did a crossover!
'PaRappa the Rapper's Para Para Paradise.'!!
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is gonna hit four million physical in the next week or two… jimminy jillickers.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Saikyou Battle Royale had the highest first-week retail sales of any game in the franchise since Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards on GBA in 2002.
Interesting hardware numbers. I’m wondering if Sony are starting to hold back stock for Xmas
Japan is now officially officially Nintendoland...wow....wow.
@Bizzyb Its been that way for years
@Specter_of-the_OLED not if people play the demo. Very unimpressive except for the graphics.
@westman98 i have never played yu gi oh games, & didn't like the demos i played of a few past games, but got into other card collection games in the past cpl years. Is this game especially good, or is it just because it's new? Is this something coming to the US? You may not know all these answers, so asking anyone that can answer.
@twztid13
Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Saikyo Battle Royale will be localized this fall.
I have no idea if it's good or not as I have never played Yu-Gi-Oh before.
