The Switch project significantly surpasses its predecessor for the Nintendo 3DS in sales and may become one of the most successful releases in the entire Japanese history of Konami… It sold 750,000 copies in two weeks (including digital copies that don’t count in the charts below), with an entire holiday month ahead.

Experts point out that the Switch game is more successful than the Nintendo 3DS version, as the hybrid console offers stationary local multiplayer. The Japanese gather in one room in front of a large TV and have fun together.

The ability to display images on the big screen has also had a significant impact on the sales of many other multiplayer Switch games, such as Super mario party – in Japan, the project for a hybrid system is several times more popular than those that came out on the Nintendo 3DS.
