Team Kirby Clash Deluxe

During its launch month, Fire Emblem Heroes was the 5th most successful game in Japan, revenue-wise. But what about March? Well, the game is still in the Top 10, but dropped to #8.

Just before the Nintendo Direct, last week, the official Nintendo Store in Russia listed two Nintendo Switch bundles for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Many people thought this was something to be announced during the Nintendo Direct, but it wasn’t the case after all. Indeed, those two bundles are only going to be sold in Russia.
