Roll-out:
This thread is about the performance of the most important Nintendo self-published games on the Switch compared to precedent outings of the same franchise. In case of a new intellectual property, I will compare it to similar IPs produced by Nintendo. This is an exercise to measure Nintendo's financial health and brand awareness.
So, to break it down:
- Selected Nintendo-published titles for Switch
- Cumulative sales only
- Very short analyzes
- Graphics and design
- Adjustments will be made when official data is released
10 titles published by Nintendo.
