Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, the upcoming game from the two-man dev team responsible for Astebreed, was originally supposed to be out this winter in Japan. The release date has been pushed back to 2020. Its US release date is TBA. 

The Switch seems like it’s off to a good start in China. In the first nine hours, pre-orders of the Switch surpassed 100,000. As Nintendo Soup explained, these numbers are from JD.com, China’s largest online retailer, so factoring in other retailers, the real number might be higher.
