Feature: Hands-On With Momotaro Dentetsu, The Switch Game That's Beating Zelda And Animal Crossing In Japan

All aboard with the chart-topping hit.

This digital board game's only been out a few months, and yet in that short period of time, Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban! has utterly dominated the Japanese charts and sold over 2 million copies (digital and physical sales combined). It topped the Japanese multi-format charts when it launched at the end of November (beating Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity to number one), and, at the time of writing, is still there.

Although now owned by Konami, the Momotaro Dentetsu series was initially created and developed by Hudson Soft (of Bomberman fame) and began life on the Famicom way back in 1988. It's been consistently successful in Japan ever since, popping up on every major format (and several minor ones, too) for over three decades, from the Game Boy to the PlayStation 2 and beyond.
