Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts – March 1, 2026 – Pokemon Pokopia beats out the competition with pre-loads alone
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The latest Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of March 1, 2026 are now available.
This time around, Pokemon Pokopia beats out the pack thanks to the start of pre-loads. It faced some competition with Resident Evil Requiem, however. If its different SKUs were combined (technically three if you count the GeneratioN Pack), it may been able to come out on top.

Nintendo’s new approach to amiibo: expensive premium figurines
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, General Nintendo, Switch 2 | 0 comments
On the surface, things haven’t been particularly easy for amiibo as of late. Last year, the line did celebrate its 10th anniversary, which is a pretty big milestone for toys-to-life: they’re usually long discontinued by the time by that point. Still, that doesn’t necessarily mean amiibo are doing better than ever – it’s kind of the opposite, in fact. When they first launched in late 2014, each amiibo figure cost $12.99 each. They were marketed as affordable statues and add-ons to games – these bonuses were fairly inconsequential for the most part (but Super Smash Bros. amiibo training is still surprisingly deep), and if you didn’t want to spend the money on each figure you didn’t have to.
Recently, Nintendo upped the general price of new amiibo figures to $24.99 – $34.99 each. Of course, these are much more detailed than the original $12.99 amiibo that released in 2014, but it’s a steep bump nonetheless. Furthermore, the prices of all older amiibo were increased to $19.99 each. That means characters who were originally released for $12.99 now cost $19.99 without any significant increase in quality. Even if there were an increase in quality, this price bump puts amiibo out of range for most collectors. And yet, despite these price troubles, Nintendo announced a boatload of amiibo in the September 2025 Nintendo Direct. In my opinion, this marks kind of a doubling down of sorts – rather than going the amiibo card route like we previously suggested, Nintendo is doubling down on making amiibo into figurines of the highest possible quality.
Game Freak explains where the Pokemon Pokopia name comes from

Pokemon is about to get its next spinoff game with the upcoming launch of Pokemon Pokopia. Now thanks to Game Freak’s Shigeru Ohmori, we’re able to learn about where the name actually comes from.
Ohmori spoke about this in a recent interview with Famitsu. It looks like there’s a few things at play here. Ohmori mentioned wanting to go with “a slightly looser” title, and using certain phrases that eventually led to “Poko A Pokemon” in Japanese.
