Nintendo UK promoting Zelda products on the Nintendo Store... using a graphic with the Game logo 🤔

Less than 1 hour until I willingly watch 40minutes of adverts.

Nintendo temporarily listed Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at $69.99 on the US store last night, $10 higher than usual. If you're planning on picking up a physical copy of TotK at launch then I'd recommend locking in the price by getting a preorder in before the Nintendo Direct.

It's crazy just how much Nintendo's digital sales have increased since launch.

Physical games still dominate Nintendo's software sales, with 84.5% of total software sales being physical and 15.5% being digital downloads. Although, digital sales are up 1% compared to the same period last year.

I wouldn't be surprised if a new switch model and a "selects" range of games is announced relatively soon. Stock seems to be being cleared in the UK.

Tesco are selling off OLED Nintendo Switch consoles for £152 and standard ones for £115. You can download their app to check stock near you. Good luck!

Can confirm. Wright's right that he writes right. If anyone's looking for a freelance games journo then you can't go wrong with Wright.

As a mark of respect during this period of national mourning, we will not livestream tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct. It will be published as a video-on-demand on our YouTube channel at 16:00 (UK time) tomorrow.

Recently I keep seeing the V2 Nintendo Switch getting discounted even further down across a bunch of UK online retailers. Went from £279 to £259, now £229. Seems odd considering Nintendo's current supply issues. Are they trying to clear stock?

Take that as you will. 🤷‍♂️

Nikkei: there will be no new Nintendo hardware this fiscal year, which ends in March 2023. Not immediately clear whether that part of the article is from Nikkei's own reporting or what Nintendo President, who Nikkei interviewed for the story, said. nikkei.com/article/DGXZQO

Welp. Tried to keep away from these types of rumours for so long, but way too much smoke now. It looks like a new model could be announced towards the end of the year. Apparently works with current carts, improved perf, retains branding & form factor. No more info than that.

Keep your expectations low for this week. We might get something, we might not. Either way, it's probably not going to be what you want.
