Monster Hunter Rise surpasses 20 million units sold, while Nintendo prepares for new game releases and retail ventures in North America.
In a testament to its enduring popularity, Monster Hunter Rise has surpassed the 20 million units sold mark worldwide.

Capcom has expressed gratitude to fans for their support, though details about future updates or enhancements for the title have not been clarified. For the original story, see My Nintendo News.
Upcoming Game Releases and Developments
Nintendo fans can look forward to several upcoming releases. Warhammer Survivors, a roguelite from Auroch Digital, will launch on both the Nintendo Switch and the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 on November 10, 2026. This is one among several games aiming to capture attention before the massive launch of Grand Theft Auto VI later in the month. For more on this, read Nintendo Everything.
Meanwhile, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time makes its celebrated return with a new remaster arriving on November 5, just days before the industry’s attention shifts to Rockstar’s anticipated release. This strategic placement could bolster sales in the crowded launch window. Coverage on this juxtaposition can be found at Nintendo Life.
Innovation in Nintendo Retail
In North America, EB Games is launching a unique “store-within-a-store” concept in its Toronto flagship location. This initiative might signal Nintendo’s intent to enhance its physical retail footprint in contrast to its traditional reliance on digital marketplaces and branded retail locations like the Nintendo NY store.
