First, "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" sold three consecutive times
In the new week of May 22 to May 28, "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" won three consecutive championships without suspense.
Wang Tears sold more than 12 million copies worldwide in a week, becoming Nintendo's highest-selling game in the first week and setting a Guinness record.
Otome's new game "All the Villains 2" won the third place and achieved good results.
The top ten sales are all from the Switch platform, and eight are Nintendo first-party games.
Second, the production team of "Tears of the Kingdom" exceeds 1,000 people
It has been 20 days since the release of "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom", and I don't know how many friends are still wandering around refusing to save the princess.
I finally got through the game yesterday, which lasted more than 120 hours, and I feel like I've completed half of the side quests.
Looking at the long production list at the end, I was amazed at the breadth of resources required to make a game.
According to blogger @maxnichols news, Wang Tear's production list has 1148 people, including 50 designers, and Miyamoto Shigeru is listed as the only person who has participated in the first generation.
Deputy director Yuya Sato has only participated in the production of "Breath of the Wild" and is a very young producer.
It seems that Nintendo's producer turnover is constantly underway.
3. Nintendo dissolves the Russian division
Due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, Nintendo officially disbanded the Russian branch on June 2, and the Russian server eshop will not be able to download new games, and the warranty business of the previous machine has also been handed over to a third party.
Recently, Nintendo has further closed the YouTube channel, which has now been shown to be inaccessible.
Fourth, Nintendo suddenly released a first-party game
Nintendo announced that it will release a new somatosensory game on June 30.
This game called "Everybody1-2-Switch" is a sequel to "1-2 Switch", mainly to bring everyone a simple and happy two-person gameplay, including many mini-games.
Players can also use their smartphone as a controller.
5. The new color handle is debuting
Also on June 30 was the new JOY-CON handle.
These two purple and green colors, and the pink and yellow color of the handle look very fresh.
6. Yui Aragaki endorses "NS Movement" again
Popular Japanese actress Yui Aragaki recently participated in a promotional film for "NS Movement".
This time she shows the gameplay of bowling, a casual dressed goddess from ignorant training to enchanting serpentine positioning, showing the journey from a little white to a master.
Presumably, many players will expect to match her online.
7. Final Fantasy 9 Remake is under development
Although the 2021 NVIDIA leak showed that Final Fantasy 9 had plans to remake, SE never announced it.
Recently, on the foreign forum ResetERA, user Im A Hero Too broke the news that "FF9" has been remade and is developed with the support of Sony, so it will only land on the PS5 platform, and Switch is likely to be unavailable.
He also said that the game will take at least two years to make, and it feels like it should be a project after FF7 Remake.
But don't worry too much, after all, the PS platform is exclusive for a limited time, and it will still land on other platforms after a while.
8. "Street Fighter 6" received special praise
Capcom's fighting masterpiece "Street Fighter 6" landed on PC, PS, and XBOX platforms on June 2, adding an open world travel mode and a smooth online combat experience.
At present, the number of people online on Steam has reached a peak of 65,000, more than 4 times that of Street Fighter 5, and the highest number of fighting games in recent times.
The industry and players also have a very high evaluation of this game, with the current MC platform reaching 93 points, and Steam rating it as "particularly positive".
As a declining fighting game genre, this result is very good, and Capcom has also increased the sales target of the game to 10 million units, which shows their confidence in the quality of the game.
9. Foreign media evaluate the top ten games dragged down by old platforms
Every time the game console is replaced, the performance will be greatly improved, but some games are not born at the right time, so they have to be released on the old platform, which seriously reduces the game performance.
A few days ago, foreign media rated the top ten games dragged down by the old platform, do you agree?
1. Give Him Love 5 – Xbox 360/PS3
Watch Dogs – Xbox 360/PS3
3.《FIFA 14》 –PS2
Cyberpunk 2077 – PS4/Xbox One
5. Halo: Infinite – Xbox One
6. German Headquarters: New Order – Xbox 360/PS3
7. Horizon: Forbidden West – PS4
8. Metal Gear Solid 5 – Xbox 360/PS3
9. Resident Evil 8 – PS4/Xbox One
10. Forza Horizon 2 – Xbox 360
In fact, if "Kingdom Tears" lands on the new platform, it will definitely perform better!
That's all for today, I hope you enjoy it.
Your attention is my greatest encouragement.
