Could be wrong but I think there's easily more than 25 games now including two huge Nintendo releases. It's past the "launch phase". 

I'm actually getting none of the "there's nothing to play" feel from it, there's new games added to its eShop every few days now it feels like. 

Across all regions - 58 different games are released.

 

More than any other platform had at after this many days.

Wow! That's quite amazing, and the future is looking bright.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

how is NBA playgrounds? Saw some reviews that it isn't that great like the scoreboard is just at the center. But I wanted to know user experiences on the game itself. Is there a demo?

There are also scoreboards on either corner of the court.  The shot clock hates me though.  After playing a little more last night I think I won all my games but one. It is an alright game, not sure it was worth 20 buck though... I'll wait and see how much fun it is when I have played some local.

There really aren't that many games out on Switch right now. So not surprising.

Now I see more people joking about this than actually saying it!

people love basketball arcade games. Its a genre that has been heavily underused in recent times, particularly when considering how popular things like NBA Jam usedto be. I'm thinking about picking this up

Still no.2 on the North American eShop Best Sellers chart ahead of Mario Kart 8, Thumper has moved to no.4, Disgea 5 debuts at no.10.

Too bad we don't get numbers, but I think NBA Playgrounds could perhaps top 200k digital on Switch.

That's the same excuse they gave for Wii U games that sold well, despite there being hundreds of games on the console.

Holding at no.2 again, above Mario Kart 8. Thumper steady at no.4. Disgea 5 moves up to no.9 for North America.

I can't help but think NBA 2K probably could've killed it at launch.
