[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Nintendo Switch is still battling heavy stock shortages, with the console still hard to find at most major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy and Toys “R” Us. New sales numbers from Japan, however, suggest that the Switch is still flying off the shelves.
The Playstation 4 has sold 500.000 Units within it’s first 7 weeks in Japan. The Nintendo Switch has sold the same number of consoles, but only needed 5 weeks to achieve this. This places Nintendos new console ahead of Sonys Playstation 4.
The main reasons for the sharp decline in the Playstation 4 first few months were the lack of games that appealed to the Japanese market. The Switch however, may have enough games to satisfy the Japanese gamer, but the limited availability of the console is holding back sales. It will be interesting to see how the sales of the Nintendo Switch keep up. If the console continues to sell well, third party developer naturally want to release more games on the system. Below are this weeks console sales numbers.
Japan hardware charts:
Switch: 78,441
New 3DS XL: 29,771
PS4: 25,472
PS Vita: 7,574
2DS: 6,722
PS4 Pro: 5,261
PS3: 2,930
New 3DS: 2,866
Wii U: 411

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]here are just so many different piece of armor and clothing you can collect in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. But some of them stand out more than the others. The particular outfit glows in the dark, making for an absolute unique and rare look. If you want to dress Link up in this cool outfit, then you can follow the instructions on how to obtain the costume below.
Nintendo Life has put together a guide on how to obtain the pieces. This particular costume lures skeleton-type enemies and can increase your attack damage when using the bone weapons, who would have thought these actually come in handy one day. But, let’s not be kidding each others – we don’t want this outfit for the stats, but because it looks so very cool!
To get this set, you will have to locate a very secret shop in Gerudo Town. You can only do this at night, so make sure the sun has set before starting your attempt. Enter Gerudo Town – to stay undercover you will need to be disguised as a woman. So throw on some lipstick, a wig, and a few cute pieces of clothing, and then head to the location shown on the map below.
Once you know on the door, you will be asked for a password. If you don’t know the password yet, head over to the other side of the town. Here you will find a bar – check the exact location on the map below.
You’ll be asked for a password, which you don’t know at this point. Move to the other side of the town and visit the bar marked on the map below:
Try to eavesdrop on the conversation the people are having.
Now head over to the house next door, and talk to the little girl. She will explain to you that it is possible to listen to the conversation through the wall. Now you will learn the password: G, S and C – followed by the diamond shape.
Head to the house next door and talk to the little girl – she will reveal that it’s possible to hear the patrons of the bar talking through the wall. Listen to the conversation and you’ll hear the password: G, S and C, followed by the diamond shape.
Now you can head back to the secret shop we pointed out earlier. Enter the password – you are in! Now you have access to Geruod’s exclusive hidden and very secret shop! This store contains the Radiant Armor Set, the reason you did all of the above.
Unfortunately this comes at a cost, you will have to hand over Luminous Stones as well as Rupees.
