Alrighty y’all. Some stuff released, and some sales were made. Let’s hear about it in today’s news.
- Yakuza 0 Available on PC
- Animal Crossing New Leaf Better than Wild World
- Stardew Valley Formal Multiplayer
Yakuza Steam
The award-winning prequel to the Japanese RPG has officially released on PC via Steam. Go fight thugs, eat food, karaoke, all that fun stuff. It’s a great game and I’ll likely get it for myself. It costs $19.99. Have fun.
Animal Crossing Leads
Nintendo’s Q1 financial report is published. And with it, we learn that everyone’s favorite Animal Crossing game wasn’t actually the most popular one. As of June 30, New Leaf had sold 11.78 million units, surpassing the 11.75 million total units sold for Animal Crossing: Wild World on the Nintendo DS. This came as a surprise to me. I assumed that New Leaf was the most popular one by far, since I heard about that one more in online and in-person communities than any other game. Though I’m not TOO surprised, Wild World was an absolute treasure. New Leaf is no doubt an improvement, though.
Stardew Multiplayer, For Real
As I’m sure interested parties have heard, Stardew Valley has multiplayer. But now, it’s official. Until now, it’s only been available as part of the public, opt-in beta. Now it’s being updated into the base game on PC. Publisher Chucklefish has stated that it will be coming to Nintendo Switch next, with other console versions to follow. Have fun farming, everyone!
