Pikmin 4 launched for the Nintendo Switch last week, and though Pikmin hasn’t necessarily been a historically big seller for Nintendo, it has, nonetheless, kept its dedicated fanbase waiting for its next mainline entry for quite some time. That, it seems, has resulted in a solid debut for the game where UK retail is concerned.
That’s as per GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring, who recently shared on Twitter that Pikmin 4 has debuted on top of the weekly UK physical charts for the week, and that its sales are 45% higher than what Pikmin 3 Deluxe managed upon its launch for the Nintendo Switch in 2020. Of course, given the significant share of sales that usually tends to be digital for most games, this isn’t necessarily a full picture of what the game’s launch has been like, but it does give pretty good indication that it’s got off to a solid start.
Pikmin 4 is available on the Nintendo Switch. Stay tuned for our review of the game in the coming days.
Pikmin 4 is No.1 in the UK boxed charts this week. Sales up 45% compared with the launch of Pikmin 3: Deluxe in October 2020

Resident Evil is the defining survival horror game series. From the original RE in 1996, through the reinvention of Resident Evil 4, the bold wackiness of Resident Evil Village, and the terrific Resident Evil remakes, the world of Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy, Jill Valentine and co. has rarely hit a truly dud moment. There have been ups and downs, sure, but essentially, every Resident Evil game brings something unique. And now, with rumors swirling about a possible RE Code Veronica remake, you can get basically the entire Resident Evil series for $35. That’s $335 worth of games for less than the price of one.
Every year on June 30, we celebrate World Asteroid Day. This day commemorates the anniversary of the Tunguska event, which is the largest asteroid strike in recorded history. On June 30, 1908, a carbonaceous asteroid crashed in Yeniseysk Governorate, Russia, and it decimated nearly 2150 square kilometers of forest area and scored the ground. This resulting explosion was recorded at almost 12 megatons. David Morrison, a planetary science researcher at the NASA Ames Research Center termed it as the “largest cosmic event ever witnessed by humans”.
quietly launched a new app that turns the user’s smartphone into a for their TV. This is a sign that Netflix is serious about expanding its cloud gaming services and may have something big in the relatively near future.
In an effort to expand its gaming section, Netflix has launched a new app that would allow subscribers to play games on their TV. Dubbed ‘Netflix Game Controller,' the app essentially works as a touchscreen gamepad, featuring an analogue stick for movement and a set of action buttons on the right. The app is now available to download for free on the Apple App Store, though it seems as though the streamer inadvertently published it a bit early. There's no official announcement from the platform about its use case or an Android release, while the product description simply states that it's ‘coming soon.'

Our universe contains uncountable stars that are as small as Saturn or such big giants that they can fit a number of Suns into themselves. Some are not even discovered yet or some have deep mysteries that even scientists have not been able to explain away. The mysteries of space can be interesting to learn, but they are also scary. However, if we talk about the smallest and the biggest star in the universe, you'll be amazed that it is a star named UY Scuti. The largest star in our universe is a hypergiant whose radius is 1,700 times larger than our Sun. Shocking right?
