Well, it seems VGChartz data has been updated. Apparently NS2 is already at 3mil for December alone without Europe nor RoW... that's unhinged!! Looks like NS2 may actually outsell NS1's first holiday, having already sold >6mil across October through December. Wow!

Big day for reveals, huh? Switch 2 had a very strong U.S. December 2025 sales report (with Metroid Prime 4: Beyond debuting at 7th for the month *excluding digital sales*). Mario Wonder DLC details dropped, new MarioKart LEGO set revealed, and small updates to three NS2 games (MKWorld with Team Knockout Tours, Pokémon Legends Z-A upped the max number of some crystal things you can carry from 999 to 9,999, and DKBananza got... a Polish translation lol).

On the topic of Mario Wonder DLC: What are we thinking? Me personally, I'm waiting to see if there'll be any performance upgrades. If there aren't any, then I'll pass— seems this DLC is heavily tailored to the casual crowd, focusing on multiplayer (couch co-op & online), a tutorial mode, and an assist mode.

EDIT— As per estimates given by Welfare on ResetEra, NS2 performed 29% weaker than NS1 when comparing their first U.S. holiday quarters. Given that Switch 1 had a supply bottleneck popped during Holiday 2017 whereas NS2 has been readily available since launch, I'd say these are very solid figures for NS2 overall. That'd point toward around 5.5-6.5mil WW for Q3FY26, well above Nintendo's publicly disclosed projections.

Big question is to see how Switch 2 performs in its second year, now that NS1 is no longer hindered/bolstered by supply/demand fluctuations.

At least Prime 4 is a hit in America.



NVM Mario Wonder DLC looks worth the $20. It'll be enhanced up to 4k (all while maintaining a smooth 60FPS). This in addition to the additional single player content (I presume there is something Nintendo might be hiding judging off the power-up they snuck in at the end of the trailer...) justifies the price tag for me, personally. It's a stretch for anybody who doesn't love Mario Wonder, but definitely worth it if you love the base game.



Now if we could just get updates to Mario Kart World that made it worth the price.

The bigger question is will we finally have a good Bubsy game?

That’ll potentially make for my first third-party game I purchase for NS2. Really hoping Fabraz can make something good! Bubsy has such a rocky history it’s hard to say whether this’ll be good. Looks really promising from everything I’ve seen so far.

Fabraz has a strong track record and it looks great so far, it's definitely on my radar.
