The Legend of Zelda Gets a Clue Board Game
Forget about Colonel Mustard and the candlestick. Clue is getting a Legend of Zelda makeover, featuring Link and the Master Sword.
Merchoid is selling The Legend of Zelda Clue Game (releasing in June), where you find out who can defeat Ganondorf. But that's not all. Players must also determine what item to use and where the King of Thieves is hidden.
Zelda Clue features six personality cards — including Link, Zelda and Impa — and six metal hero movers, like the boomerang and hook shot. There are also 16 boss encounter cards.
The board showcases the land of Hyrule. Zora's Domain, the Lost Woods and Death Mountain are just a few of the locations in Zelda Clue.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch Launch Sales Announced
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Nintendo Switch debut is the biggest launch day for any entry in the Mario Kart franchise.
Nintendo announced today that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold 459,000 copies — that number combines physical and digital sales — in the United States on its launch day, April 28, making it the fastest-selling Mario Kart game ever. Deluxe outshines the previous holder of that record, Mario Kart Wii, which sold approximately 433,900 on its launch day back in 2008.
According to Nintendo, these sales represent a 45 percent attach rate in the U.S. for the game to total Switch owners, "meaning nearly one in two Nintendo Switch owners in the U.S. purchased a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the first day it was available." That would indicate U.S. sales of the Nintendo Switch hardware have now reached about 1.02 million units, an increase from the 906,000 units sold that Nintendo reported in mid-April. The company also revealed that, worldwide, the Switch has sold 2.74 million units since its launch.
