No Shantae on this list makes me sad. :(
Shantae is on many platforms. Hope her game has been a success, all things considered.
Shantae only released July 1st in Japan, so there's no way it could have made it into the list
Oh really?
Well then, I hope it can get a big boost from the Splatoon 2 Hype Train and gets a good spot!
This is the one game that is really spurring me on to get a Switch early, instead of waiting for Mario.
they were also giving the download away free with joycons, that'll help
Beating Mario Kart I guess I can understand because it was released earlier but beating Zelda! Do the Japanese favour cartridges in a big way?
Well, Zelda is a very big game to download. 13 gb I read somewhere. That's 1/3rd of your storage right there.
Has anyone any idea about any real sales numbers of any of these games? Snipperclips could be #1 with about 100k or #1 with 10k - could be a huge difference. I assume the truth is somewhere between 10k and 100k ;)
Minecraft was released in May, and Famitsu put with 55k+ for may alone, so Snipper Clips must have more than this.
Snipperclips had sold over 350,000 units worldwide as of late April, Nintendo has told us that much.
I think it is safe to say that it has very likely, sold over 100k in Japan.
Honestly looks like a great little title but I don't have a Switch, or friends.
it's super fun with another person
you can play it solo... but really it's far far less fun.
