Nintendo recently sold over 20 million units of the Switch; congratulations! That's definitely a far cry from the sales numbers of the Wii U, which is probably the worst-selling console next to the Virtual Boy.

Windjammers is still missing though.  We at Kakuchopurei are stoked for the Neo Geo Mini. SNK is doing good by jumping onto the tiny retro console bandwagon since it had a huge backlog of

The SoulCalibur series had its fair shares of guest characters; some logical, some absurd. For every Ezio Auditore coming in, we get Darth Vader and Yoda.
