In the new week from April 29th to May 5th, Famitsu sold the charts, and Eternal Blue: Streamer, a niche diving game, unexpectedly beat LSP's new favorite Star Blade to win the top spot in sales.

2. Exposure Switch2 adopts 12G+256G configuration
According to netizens who have been tracking Nintendo's customs data for a long time,
According to the March customs shipment list, the successor to the Switch will use 12GB of RAM, consisting of two 6GB, 7500 MT/s LPDDR5 memory modules.
Also, the console has 256 GB of storage, UFS 3.1, and the machine seems to have a built-in microphone.
Netizens complained that it was too picky to use 12G memory now, so why do you have to start with 16G. Besides, 256G can't play a few digital games, and it was previously revealed that there may be a 512G version launched simultaneously.
The space is not too large, and it is best to support the SSD, but the heating needs to be well controlled.
It is reported that Switch2 will be released before the end of March 2025 within the current fiscal year.

Regarding the development of Nintendo's next-generation console, Furukawa pointed out that it will take years of preparation and consideration, and that all aspects, including software development resources, need to be carefully planned.
Furukawa also said that in addition to relying on its own development capabilities, Nintendo will further strengthen close collaboration with external partners and make full use of their in-depth understanding of Nintendo's game development philosophy and methodology.
It seems that Nintendo has already made arrangements for the development of games for next-generation consoles, and it will certainly be difficult to quickly open up the situation with the number of Nintendo's first-party games alone.
It should rely on a large number of third-party ported games and independent games to jointly operate, according to the news on the Internet, "Red Dead Redemption 2", "Resident Evil 7, 8", remake 2, 3, 4 and other games may land.
In this way, it seems that the function of Switch2 should reach the level of PS4, and the previous generation of triple-A games can run smoothly.
