The Nintendo Switch 2 has made a monumental impact on the gaming market, smashing sales records in Japan by selling over 1.5 million units in its first month alone. This remarkable figure not only outpaces the original Switch’s launch sales by threefold but also surpasses the legendary PlayStation 2’s first-month sales, marking a significant milestone in gaming history. According to Famitsu, which aggregates data from over 3,000 retail stores in Japan, the Switch 2’s sales performance is unprecedented.

In a surprising twist, Nintendo’s mobile game, Mario Kart Tour, is set to receive its first major update since 2023. This update, dubbed the Sunshine Tour, will roll out starting July 22, coinciding with the recent launch of Mario Kart World on the Nintendo Switch 2. After a long hiatus following the game’s winding down last year, fans are excited to see new content that pays homage to the beloved franchise.
