- Selling 20% more games than last year, software dynamic up YoY
- Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze almost above 100k unit sold
- Zelda BoTW & MK8DX are still charting every week
- They only expected 20% of LABO stock to be sold until september, and the remaining part should be sold in the Christmas period. Says that “market curves are different for a toys-like product compared to a standard video game”.
- About E3 : they prefered to keep it close, to only talk about games releasing in the coming months. Says that they’ve got plenty of opportunities to show more, during Japan Expo (July), Gamescom (August) or Tokyo Game Show (September).
- Three big games this holiday : Super Mario Party, Pokémon Let’s Go & Super Smash Bros Ultimate. First two are family-oriented games and should bring casual audience to the Switch.
- Pretty ambitious goals for Pokémon & Smash, says that so far public response has been above their expectations. "

Corporate speak.
We are always trying to help our customers (insert humble brag) and have no problem with cross platform gaming with PC or Mobile devices. That is all we are going to say begone peasants and filthy mongrels that wish to game on multiple devices or leave our platform for another with your progress.
Can’t say much about it, this gen maybe they will play nice next one.
Last of Us has sold 17 million copies
Nomura says to expect some shocking scenes in KH III
I don’t know why the title says this is going to be the end of Sora’s story since Nomura doesn’t really say that…
Super Mario Party will offer an online mode
It’s not quite how you think though…it’s kinda limited.
DAY JUAN’ED!!!
Missed out on it 20 years ago!!
It ain’t going to happen again.
Seeing footage of REmake 2 really takes me back. The recreation of the police station is fucking great. From the available footage it’s almost on exact the same as the original.

yyyyyup…
Yeah I wondered how they could have E3 on what is essentially a kids channel but it made sense as they were playing Gears or some sort of game the screen would blur while commentary kept going. I imagine The Last of Us 2 trailer had everything but the dance and kiss censored.

In fairness, the kiss was still seen, it was just edited sloppily so parts of it were also cut off.
That looks amazing! Is that a mod of Max Payne 2 or the original?
Thats the issue with the country, when a gay kiss is more offensive than straight up gore.

Anything sexual is seen to be worse than gore. They had a conniption fit over Janet Jackson’s nipple at the Super Bowl and you could only see it if you slowed down the footage. It’s just a nipple. WTF
