Apparently, Tomodachi Life is also sold out across all major online retailers— dang. Nintendo really just dropped two major system sellers back-to-back. Circana data for March is showing major gains for Switch 2, nearly doubling shipment figures for January & February, and momentum according to Amazon sales data suggests a strong April as well. This in addition to the recent PS5 price hikes and a whole $1 billion film, Switch 2 is off to a supercharged second fiscal year.
Curious to see how well Nintendo can maintain momentum now. They still have many cards left to play: No 3D nor 2D Mario nor Zelda, no Animal Crossing, no Smash Bros, only DKBananza, MarioKart, Pokémon, and Pokopia. If OoT Remake is real, then Nintendo could be looking at a very solid FY’27.
Also: “Doom and gloom” seems like it’s completely done at this point. Most I’m seeing is people upset with the Mario Galaxy Movie. Maybe it’s a good thing Nintendo skipped their traditional H1 Direct presentation this year… I’d rather get a steady stream of reveals keeping people please than one major dump that everyone is disappointed by.
