 All right before we get into all of the news today. Oh my gosh, is there a lot? Nintendo financial report all that I want to feature a comment from our comment of the day yesterday our comment question of the day which was what are you worrying for Halloween and why and all of that jazz and the comment I picked out there wasn't a ton of responses but it came from five and tie and he's trying to say sweet and tie no I am not dressing up for Halloween I will be sleeping in bed naked thank you so you sleep naked too glad to know I'm not alone all right today's comment question of the day is actually gonna be also Halloween related we're gonna go with what is your favorite horror game spooky game whatever it might be what's that game that you like to play maybe every year or maybe it's just a favorite game you have played during this time period what is your favorite horror game I think that's a great question for this holiday season now let's get right into the news there is so much and we're gonna start by updating Nintendo's top 10 selling games because oh boy let's go all right so Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is now at nineteen point zero one million units I very likely the Mario kid Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will hit 20 million this holiday a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is now the second best-selling game on Nintendo Switch at 15.71 million units again that released last December Super Mario Odyssey released all the way back in 2017 and that's a 15.38 million units by far and away one of the best-selling 3d mainline Mario game Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild by far the best-selling Zelda game period at 14.54 million units it's sold over a million units this fiscal year already and holy crud I have a feeling the Breath of the Wild is going to hit 15 16 17 million before it's all set and done Pokemon let's go Pikachu let's go Eevee one of the big holiday titles from last year is that 11.28 million and that kind of rounds out the top five but moving on down Splatoon 2 is at 9.28 million maybe it'll crawl till 10 I don't know but that is a big bump over the Wii U days when it only sold 6 million a Super Mario Party just churn it in at 7.59 it's moved a few million this year that's excellent new Super Mario Brothers U Deluxe has not actually moved a lot since launch it moved around 4 million at launch and has only moved a few unit sets we'll see if it does well this holiday Super Mario Maker that was one of the hot titles this summer one of the big titles for Switch is already in the top 10 at 3.93 million units and what's interesting is that Link's awakening that just released not too long ago is at 3.13 million units and they only have nine days of sales data and links awakening is already in the top 10 now granted this is just top 10 Nintendo published games this will not include third-party games of any third-party games have sold many millions of units like Minecraft Switch Edition probably has that would not appear in this top 10 so this is just Nintendo published games but that's impressive it's probably likely going to become the best-selling top-down Zelda game of all time because right now that title is held I think by Phantom Hourglass about 4 and a half million or so so it's probably gonna surpass that just this year in the holiday season and who knows where it's gonna go from there Link's awakening is clearly riding I don't know if it's right on the coattails of Breath of the Wild or what's happening there but there's just a lot of information going on and speaking of game sales data we have to talk about Fire Emblem 3 houses that was another big release it's not in the top 10 yet it might get there but Fire Emblem 3 houses has sold 2.29 million units and to give you an idea of Fire Emblem awakening during the same period you know that launch period sold 2.28 million or so and yeah that's that it beat that this is a huge launch for Fire Emblem and it's definitely something to keep your eye on if you are someone who is debating on whether or not this is the Fire Emblem game to jump in with well it's it's on pace to be one of the most popular if not the most popular Fire Emblem games which seems to be a running theme with games on switch moving on this is interesting here Nintendo plans on making more 3ds franchises available on switch now for a coward so this during the Q&A section he didn't really specify what 3ds franchises we're talking about we already have like a brain age style game coming over but they're still like Nintendo dogs out there that's been more of a 3ds DS kind of thing there is still Rhythm Heaven and stuff like that so there's a lot of 3ds franchises I mean Kid Aker is uprising as an example we get a sequel Kid Aker is uprising too that was only on 3ds so that's encouraging for just having a wider slate of games on switch from Nintendo that they're actually looking to bring more 3ds franchises over to switch and obviously they're trying to convey the appeal of the light system which I know Nintendo I mean if nothing else this is them confirming that hey the light is our 3ds replacement all right moving on the Nintendo switch itself is now sold 41.67 million units 41.67 million holy crud you know that that already slates it as the fourth best-selling Nintendo system of all time just behind the SNES the software sales are 246.01 million which again would place it at number four and this is just for home console systems remember Nintendo does call a switch a home console system it is likely gonna pass the SNES and the NES at some point in the next couple of years will it ever get touched the Wii numbers I have no idea will it be a hundred million unit seller I don't know we're less than three years in and it's already a 40 you extrapolate that to six or seven it's gonna be pretty close if the sales keeps trending upwards but yeah what we also learn is the switch light sales for those that are wondering how well the switch light has sold it shifted 1.95 million units since it launched so that's actually pretty good it is still behind the original switch in that same time period but that is totally fine and acceptable they moved around six million or so total switches this year they have a projected of 18 million obviously they have two quarters to go and we know the third quarter is their biggest quarter of the year because that includes the holiday period when they end up making usually 60 to 70 percent of their sales for the whole year all right so that's impressive news in that of itself but let's move on to the next story and that is that Nintendo reconfirms release dates for upcoming major switch games Breath of the Wild 2 blah blah blah so this is let's see here our Ring Fit adventure which has already come out Luigi's Mansion 3 which hey we're releases today everyone go pick up Luigi's Mansion 3 if you're a fan of Luigi's Mansion I guess I don't know I know some people the bit block might not be the biggest fan of this version of the game but hey I really liked it at E3 still has potential to be game of the year so let's see what happens there obviously Pokemon Sword and Shield reconfirmed as as a 15th the new brain training game coming to switch is is confirmed for the end of December on you know December 27th Tokyo Mirage Sessions the Effie Encore edition is confirmed for January 1st or sorry January January 17th I should say Animal Crossing New Horizons again confirmed for March 20th Xenoblade Chronicles the definitive edition no release date except that it is coming next year at some point Famicom Tentai Club Kiata Kiyoshi New Tatsu Shouju that might just be a Japanese only thing after all has Famicom in the title 2020 Bayonetta 3 is still TBA no surprise there Metroid Prime 4 still TBA we just did a video on that recently where it looks like Metroid Prime 4 is quite a ways away a Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild sequel is what they're officially calling it TBA so those are three big titles TBA I think we'll hear about Bayonetta 3 potentially at the game awards so pay attention to that in December but otherwise Metroid Prime 4 Breath of the Wild sequel I think next time we have a chance to hear about it is sometime next year you never know maybe a surprise direct happens and Nintendo teases Breath of the Wild then gives us a release date but right now all TBA but even 2020 you'll have an Animal Crossing Tokyo Mirage Sessions New Horizons definitive edition I realized two of those are ports but it's still nice and it's early and we're not even to 2020 yet so I think all those three games will probably be in the first six months of the year you know they have the United States States as well which are exactly the same and the same for Europe so there you go that's kind of the upcoming release like from Nintendo side of things does not include third parties next up Nintendo has hints that it is ditched the game development on the 3DS and a lot of that is just going back to that quote about leveraging evergreen titles and all that says for the Nintendo 3DS family we will continue to fully utilize the platform's rich software library to appeal to consumers purchasing game hardware for the first time or continue the dry sales of evergreen titles that leverage the hardware install base basically we're not really gonna be making any new games they already previously talked about bringing 3DS franchises the switch but we're gonna leverage basically how cheap the system is and that we have amazing evergreen titles to try to move units during the holidays and to be fair they really have some modest goals for 3DS sales for this fiscal year I mean what we're talking like planning to sell like a million 3DSs for the whole year they are definitely not looking at 3DS as a seller anymore they've clearly abandoned the system but if you're looking for an Nintendo platform it's gonna have steep discounts as holiday look no further than 3DS don't be surprised to see really steep discount discounts on the 2DS 3DS XL the new 3DS 3DS like the whole line across the board is gonna have massive discounts along with a lot of 3DS games so if you're looking to you know get your hands on a whole bunch of 3DS games that maybe you've missed out or wherever this holiday is gonna be a good time for that guaranteed switch I don't know how many deals there's gonna be for switch but 3DS is definitely gonna be heavily discounted because Nintendo really just doesn't care too much about that platform they've kind of it's pretty much dead in the water to them but hey parents are usually willing to pick up you know super cheap video game systems from a reputable company so who knows maybe it'll surprise this holiday but switch will definitely be leading the way for Nintendo the most popular switch light color for those who want to know is turquoise that is what Nintendo said there's three colors out there turquoise is the most popular that might change of course when when Pokemon comes out because there is a Pokemon themed version and if it's probably limited edition so it might not last too long but if it's not limited edition and they're just gonna keep selling it and selling it that could become the most popular version so there you go that is the end of the stories for today so I want to thank you guys so much for tuning in this was a lot of information to take in what the big takeaway from it basically is that Nintendo is killing it absolutely killing it so that's that's amazing I still can't believe the switch is basically a 42 million in sales in less than three years less than three years that is insane me by the time we get to end of this fiscal year switch has a chance to be above 50 million units in three years that's just insane to me that's PlayStation 4 levels of success that's we levels of success that's you know DS 3DS like we're talking some pretty popular platforms here that the switch is comparing favorably to so I will have to wait and see what happens down the line but for now thank you so much for tuning in happy Halloween to everyone if you're wondering what my kids are dressing up for as Halloween my daughter my oldest
