Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Sneaks In Some Huge Numbers Ahead Of The Price Rise

Once more, with feeling. The latest Japanese charts are in from Famitsu , and before we get to another week of huge Switch 2 sales, it's time to see how Nintendo's latest fared on the software side of things. Yes, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book flutter jumped into the top 10 this week with almost 40,000 units to its name.

Bungie are making it easy to you to try Marathon by launching its new season with a free week, right when veteran players lose all their best gear

I hear that some of you aren't playing Marathon yet. Maybe extraction shooters aren't your jam, or there's not enough about Bungie's game to draw you away from your shooter of choice, or maybe you're just sick and tired of a certain portion of the internet yammering on about Marathon like it's the bee's-freaking-knees of multiplayer games. Now, if you fall into that latter camp, I have particularly good news for you. For one week only, you will be able to drop into Tau Ceti and wipe the smile of those yammerers' faces without buying the game. Bungie are kicking off Marathon Season 2 with a free week. Importantly, that free week coincides with an account wipe for all players, so even though you will be going up against people who have had a couple of months in Marathon already, they won't be packing any of their best loot or top level skills. (It's also a great chance to try a really very good shooter that you might have been interested in.) Read more
