Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been incredibly popular worldwide, but sales in Japan have been absolutely amazing. Data driven Twitter account Game Data Library has revealed that the immensely cute Nintendo Switch game is the first game in Japan to have topped 6 million sales at retail since the launch of New Super Mario Bros…
Sometimes I can’t bear the wait, and I’m ready to try out any new gadgets or gizmos as early as possible through the Schedule 1 beta branch. Fortunately for me (and the rest of you drug kingpin hopefuls), TVGS seems keen to share new Schedule 1 updates days before they go live for everyone through…
Have a little patents. Years of leaks and rumours made Nintendo’s official Switch 2 reveal feel more like a confirmation of what we already knew than a showcase full of surprises.

Welcome back! Got a tough one for you this month: March saw the launch of multiple blockbuster new releases, including Devil May Cry 5, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, The Division 2, and San Diego Studio’s very own MLB The Show 19. Looking at this list, I’m not even sure which one I would vote for……
