The Nintendo Switch is quite the popular console right now, as many in lockdown are finding out. Hardware shortages have been noticed across the world--especially in Nintendo's home country--with demand overwhelming the short supply of the system. Not to mention, with the success of the recently released Animal Crossing: New Horizons, even the slightly less popular Nintendo Switch Lite handhelds are flying off the shelves. This has lead to a sharp jump in sales for the Switch hardware line, which are up more than 300,000 units over last week, in Japan. This surge in sales also means that the Nintendo Switch has officially surpassed the Nintendo Wii in terms of units sold in Japan. Though the Nintendo Wii was incredibly popular and still boasts over 101 million global sales, it only sold 12.7 million units in Japan before the system was discontinued in 2013. Currently, the Nintendo Switch is sitting at 12.8 million systems sold, putting it just above the older console's figures.

Nintendo of America has closed its repair service centres due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
The repair centres are being closed as a "preventive measure... and in accordance with federal and local guidelines," Nintendo of America has said.
No timeframe was offered for when the centres will open again, and repairs in progress will be put on hold until that happens.
"If the repair center was able to receive the repair order, it will remain there until repair services resume," Nintendo said.
Products that have been sent but not yet accepted will be returned to the customer as "undeliverable." Nintendo will extend the warranty on its products for the amount of time that its repair centres are closed.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has become a major hit in the UK.
Nintendo's critically acclaimed sequel has sold more copies in its first week on sale than the launch sales of all previous Animal Crossing games combined, including the spin-offs. The launch is 3.5 times bigger than the last game in the series, 2013's Animal Crossing: New Leaf on Nintendo 3DS, which was the previous biggest launch for the series. It is also the biggest single game launch on Nintendo Switch since the console came out, although if you combine the sales of Pokémon Sword and Shield together, those games enjoyed a bigger first week.
This only factors in physical sales, it does not include digital download numbers, which may have been higher than usual considering the concerns around the COVID-19 virus that has seen the UK Government recommend that citizens stay indoors. Nintendo does not share digital download data externally.
It's no surprise to learn that Nintendo's game was No.1 in the boxed charts this week, comfortably ahead of Doom: Eternal, which debuts at No.2. Doom: Eternal's physical launch sales are roughly a third smaller than its predecessor, but the drop may not be quite so significant if we factor in digital sales. Unfortunately, Bethesda also doesn't share digital download figures, so we won't know how the game really performed.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the fastest-selling Nintendo Switch game in Japan.
According to Famitsu data, the title sold 1.88 million games in just three days in the country. By comparison, the previous 3-day Switch record was held by Pokémon Sword and Shield, which sold over 1.36 million copies (both games combined). The previous standalone game record was Super Smash Bros Ultimate, which managed 1.24 million units in three days.
The game's sales far outstripped the opening performance of its predecessor, Animal Crossing: New Leaf on 3DS. That game achieved just under 722,000 sales during its opening three days.

Cemu v1.17.3 is released. Cemu is a Nintendo Wii U emulator that runs commercial games. Highly experimental software to emulate Wii U applications on PC.
Cemu Changelog:
general: Added a workaround for Cemu not launching on Windows 10 1709
general: Added button for checking online mode requirements to account settings
gamelist: Improved identification of updates/dlc
gamelist: Games which are identified as an update will again show up in the list, but only if no base game is found
This is a workaround for modified game dumps where the update data was merged into the base game. Please always use the File -> Install update/dlc option in Cemu
gamelist: Fixed a bug where a game could appear more than once if multiple game paths were set
CPU/JIT: Code translation (PPC -> x64) is now done asynchronously on a separate thread
The previous implementation would do translation synchronously on the CPU emulation thread.
This could lead to micro stutter in situations where a game hit a lot of new code (e.g. on first loading screen)
OpenGL/Vulkan: Added a safeguard to prevent crashes when games try to use a depth texture with an invalid format
Vulkan: Fixed an issue where depth to color texture copies would use the wrong shader
coreinit: Fixed a crash in OSCalendarTimeToTicks (#268)
nn_boss: Fixed SpotPass always assuming an id of 80000001 instead of using the one selected by the user
Note:
(#xx) refers to bug tracker issues resolved by this change. See http://bugs.cemu.info/projects/cemu/

Nin v0.7.0 is released. Nin is an advanced Nintendo Entertainement System and Famicom emulator that is actively being developped. Right now, the emulator is not very polished on the UX side, but can run many games without issues. A gamepad is supported. The exact mapping will depend on the vendor's layout. On a keyboard, the arrows are mapped to the NES D-Pad, Space is Select, Enter is Start, Z is A and X is B. Multiple controllers or other kinds of controller are not currently supported.
Supported Mappers
NROM
MMC1
MMC2
MMC3
MMC4
UxROM (Standard, 180)
CNROM
AxROM
GxROM
Color Dreams
MMC3 support is still experimental.
Nin Changelog:
Complete refactor, now in C++.
Completely new CPU implementation, now cycle-steppable.
Full support for undocumented instructions.
Automated tests

Snes9x GX Changelog:
Language updates for Spanish, French, Portuguese.
.bs file extension support.
Classify region id 18 as PAL. [Tantric]
Set default calibration values, fix controllers that return invalid data.
Quick fixes for Rendering Ranger R2 and Targa (50/60Hz).
Experimental support for Mad Catz SE FightStick for Xbox 360!

Gambatte SpeedRun R6 Build 717 is released. Fork of https://github.com/sinamas/gambatte with changes related to Pokemon speedrunning. Gambatte is an accuracy-focused, cross-platform Game Boy Color emulator. It is based on a few thousand corner-case hardware tests, as well as previous documentation and reverse engineering efforts.
Gambatte SpeedRun Changelog:
Emulation accuracy
Merged all 2019 upstream gambatte accuracy updates by sinamas (fixes TCG, Crystal Clear, perhaps others)
Fixed emulation of some original Game Boy games (i.e. no GBC enhancements) on GBC/GBA/GBP (mostly affects non-Pokemon games)
Hard reset rework
Subframe hard resets now supported on GBP platform (Gen 2 save corruption routes, TCG card duplication should have parity with console)
Game audio now cuts immediately when the hard reset fade begins, to match GBP behavior
Rare quirky behavior (e.g. resets that take 1 or many frames too long, or Blue NSC crash where hard reset was never processed) should be mostly mitigated
Input handling fixes
Simultaneous Up+Down or Left+Right inputs now have proper "cancellation" behavior to match GBP
Using the same keyboard/joystick input for multiple GB inputs is no longer possible (was already "not allowed")
Fixed stray issues with German/Portuguese keyboard layouts (and perhaps others) that could cause numerous erratic behaviors
Added warning when using Shift as a bound key (causes issues when used in combination with keys "modified" by Shift)
Added a deadzone threshold configuration option for joystick users
Miscellaneous
Added official support for macOS 10.13+; binaries will be added with the upcoming release
Instant .sav creation for Gen 1/2 and TCG (at end of game's save routine)
Initial bootrom "error message" for first-time users was made slightly more informative
Fixed bug with default input settings for first-time users; other default settings also made more sensible
Savestates from r649/r664 should remain unaffected by changes (autosplitters are mostly ok, but will need updating to detect the new gambatte_speedrun.exe program name)

accurate emulation of LCD register writes during scanline (prehistorik man, demotronic demo)
emulation of inaccessible VRAM and OAM as on real hardware
10 sprites per line limit
clock exact emulation of sprites causing mode 3 to take longer
correct memory access timing (access happening at the last/second to last clock of an opcode)
