Princess Peach: Showtime! Sold 1.22 Million Units, Mario vs. Donkey Kong at 1.12 Million Sold

The Nintendo Switch is now the most successful platform in history in terms of Pokemon games sold, overtaking the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance.

Three Game Boy games have been added to Nintendo Switch Online.

Nintendo’s software sales for the fiscal year may be slightly down compared to the previous year, but its biggest titles continue to sell exceedingly well, according to its updated top-selling titles list. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still on top, with 61.97 million units sold as of March 31st, 2024, up from the 60.58 million sales announced in the previous quarter.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong and Princess Peach: Showtime have both sold over 1 million units, according to Nintendo.

Nintendo Switch has sold 141.32 million units worldwide as of March 31, 2024, Nintendo announced in its latest earnings release.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a decade old now, and with developer Retro Studios busy with Metroid Prime 4, it doesn’t look like the 2D platformer is going to get a follow-up anytime soon. Interestingly enough, however, if things had gone differently, the acclaimed sidescrolling platformer may have been succeeded by a new 3D entry- and one developed by an external studio, no less.

Reports are beginning to surface that an open-world Donkey Kong video game was once planned for the Nintendo Switch, but the project was scrapped. A new hour-long video claims that the Donkey Kong game would have been headed up by then-Activision subsidiary Vicarious Visions, now known as Blizzard Albany.

Activision studio Vicarious Visions was working on a 3D Donkey Kong title, it’s claimed.

A report from DidYouKnowGaming has revealed that Vicarious Visions, the developers behind Skylanders, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, and the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, pitched a 3D Donkey Kong game to Nintendo that ultimately got rejected.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's Switch remake has made changes to the scene where Bowser fat-shames one of his minions and when a group of Goombas catcall Goombella in Rogueport.

It seems as though the Paper Mario: The Thousand Year-Door remake has changed the controversial Goombella catcalling scene from the original game. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remains one of the GameCube's most beloved games. It has remained trapped on the GameCube for two decades, but it will finally be making its way to modern platforms thanks to the upcoming Switch remake.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's long-awaited remake is only a little under a month away, which means Nintendo has started releasing more and more information about the title and what we can expect. Being a remake of a beloved and classic title, there are a lot of questions surrounding what Nintendo will keep or remove from the original. For example, it was recently discovered that the game will make Vivian trans across all versions, something which was cut from the English and German versions of the original.
