Animal Crossing: New Horizons sold an estimated five million digital copies in its launch month of March, setting a record for the most digital units of a game sold in a single month and making it March's best-selling digital console title.
This is according to Superdata's estimates, which have New Horizons beating the previous single-month record set by Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII.
At No.4 for digital console sales in March was Doom Eternal, which also came in at No.5 on PC, selling three million digital copies and beating Doom 2016's 957,000 units of launch month sales.
Also last month, Activision launched the free Warzone mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, driving a 159% month-over-month increase in MAUs to 62.7 million -- this number includes both users who purchased the full game, and who downloaded only the free Warzone mode.
And Half-Life: Alyx also launched, and was played by 869,000 people in March -- including those who got the game for free with a Valve Index.
It generated $40.7 million in digital revenue, and was the No.8 best-selling digital PC title last month.
Overall, Superdata estimates that digital spending reached its highest total for a single month ever in March at $10 billion, up 11% year-over-year from $9 billion last March.
Premium console revenue was up 64% month-over-month from $883 million to $1.5 billion, and premium PC revenue up 56% month over month from $363 million to $567 million.

A Nintendo investor believes the company can rival the biggest digital services if it continues to build on the success of the Switch and its world famous IP.
Reuters obtained a letter from ValueAct Capital Partners, which disclosed the firm has purchased around 2.6 million shares in the company since April 2019.
This gives ValueAct a 2% stake in Nintendo, worth over $1.1 billion.
In the letter, the investor said it has has been meeting with Nintendo's management and believes in the vision of president Shuntaro Furukawa.
A Nintendo spokesperson confirmed to Reuters that the company is "aware that ValueAct is holding a stake" and has "been engaged in dialogue with them," but does not disclose the details of its conversations with investors.
ValueAct says there is room for the platform holder to grow, both in the games space and as a broader entertainment company.
"We believe Nintendo will be one of the largest digital media services in the world, in a category with the likes of Netflix, Disney+, Tencent Interactive Entertainment and Apple Music," the company wrote.
It's worth noting Nintendo is already taking steps to broaden its offering, with projects like the Super Nintendo Land section of the Universal Studios theme park in Osaka, and the upcoming animated feature film from Despicable Me creator Illumination Entertainment.
The letter goes on to say Nintendo has not thrived as much as other games publishers such as EA and Activision, although its fortunes have improved over the course of the last ten years.

Nintendo is planning to ramp up production on the Switch, according to a Nikkei Asian Review report.
The outlet says parts suppliers have been told by Nintendo that the company wants to boost overall Switch production by 10% in 2020.
"We hope [suppliers] will be responsive to the production increase, but for procurement of some parts, the outlook remains uncertain, and we can't forecast exactly how many Switches can be supplied," a Nintendo representative said to Nikkei.

Nintendo is investigating a potential security breach after dozens of users reported unauthorised login attempts to their accounts.
Earlier this week, Nintendo advised users to activate two-factor authentication following a spate of third-party logins.
The issue was first highlighted by Twitter user Pixelpar, and was met with over 50 responses from people with similar concerns.
"We are aware of reports of unauthorized access to some Nintendo Accounts and we are investigating the situation," a Nintendo spokesperson told VGC.
"In the meantime, we recommend that users enable two-step verification for their Nintendo Account as instructed here.

Nintendulator 0.985 beta (2020/04/15) is released. Nintendulator is an open source Win32 NES emulator written in C (plus some assembly optimization). The original goal was to emulate the NES down to its hardware quirks; though it's fallen behind over the years, recent builds have caught up once again and can emulate certain behaviors most other emulators neglect to handle. However, this emulation precision comes at a price - a 1500MHz (estimated) or faster CPU is required to emulate at full speed.
Supported file formats include .NES, UNIF, FDS (fwNES format), and NSF. Mappers are handled using external DLLs, complete with extra sound channels for most games which provide them. Other notable features include writing to FDS images (by storing the differences in the SRAM folder), Game Genie support (limited to 3 codes), customizeable controllers (including 4 player), input movie recording and playback (with re-recording), AVI capturing, and a debugger.

There's something concerning going on, as Nintendo Switch owners are reporting that they're seeing suspicious attempted log-ins for their account. Many users are sharing that they've either received emails from Nintendo with notices of log-ins from new devices, or even some that say their saved payment information was used to purchase V-bucks in Fortnite without their authorization. While Nintendo hasn't confirmed or denied as to whether or not there was a data breach or if there's a problem unfolding, it would be wise to make sure your account is secured. You can do so by resetting your password, checking out if there's been an unauthorized log-in attempt by looking at your history, removing your linked PayPal or Credit Card accounts, or turning 2-Step Verification on for your Switch account, which Nintendo themselves recommended just last week.

It is brand new doesn't found on http://www.emucr.com which you might have found many here on emutalk.net. It is not one of them at all.
Today I’m releasing PyBoy v1.0.0! A Game Boy emulator written in Python, focused on scripting, AI and learning.
Back in 2015, it started as a university project. But I’ve kept working on it, and others have started contributing as well over the years. Today we thought it was time to officially release PyBoy v1.0.0 on PyPi and GitHub!
What is PyBoy
In short, it’s a Game Boy emulator written from scratch in pure Python, with additional support for scripting through an API. We’ve added type definitions, which allows us to compile the software using Cython to get performance comparable to emulators written in C and C++.
Installation
The installation instructions are simple: Install SDL2 on your system, and install PyBoy through pip install pyboy. If you need to compile from source, we also have detailed instructions on the GitHub Wiki for Mac, Linux and Windows.
https://github.com/Baekalfen/PyBoy/wiki/Installation
Features
PyBoy is designed to be accessible from Python, so we support and encourage people who want to make experiments, bots or AI’s to try it out. We are building game-specific wrappers, which at the moment allows programmers to interface with Tetris and Super Mario Land, without any intricate knowledge of the Game Boy.
Documentation can be found at: https://docs.pyboy.dk .
We also want to learn and experiment with more exotic features. Based on work from a university project, we’ve added rewinding to the emulator. Which means, you’ll be able to turn back time in any game.
We support: macOS, Raspberry Pi (Raspbian), Linux (Ubuntu), and Windows 10.

The ongoing Nintendo Switch shortage can partly be attributed to online bots that are targeting new units as soon as they are listed on retail sites.
That's according to Motherboard, which revealed a community of resellers using open-source software to scan sites for new Switch listings, add units to their basket and complete the checkout process faster than human buyers ever could.
The main tool used appears to be the free Bird Bot but others were named, including Scottbot, Swift and Phantom.
A Phantom representative told the site it saw its software used to buy over 500 Switches in the first 24 hours.
These bots even have Discord communities that act as customer service to the various resellers using them. The server Motherboard joins had up to 1,000 participants active in recent weeks.
Motherboard reports some resellers are charging $500 or more for a Switch on eBay, or in the region of $750 for the recently launched Animal Crossing bundle -- hundreds of dollars higher than their retail prices.
The creator of Bird Bot, a reseller identified as Nate, said he originally "made it as a joke, but I quickly realised how powerful it could be."
He added that while the bot was specifically designed to purchase Nintendo Switch units, it can be used for other items as well.
Targeted sites include Walmart, Best Buy and GameStop. While retailers try to block automated buying bots like these, their designers and users have found ways to mitigate this, such as routing traffic through multiple computers before making a purchase.

Nintendo's latest firmware update for the Switch adds a feature oft-requested by accessibility advocates.
Released yesterday, Switch firmware version 10.0.0 adds the option to remap 17 of the system's buttons to perform any of 18 button functions. (The home button cannot be remapped.)
Additionally, the right and left analog joysticks can be swapped for one another, and up to five custom configurations can be saved in the system for users to swap between.
According to disability advocates at AbleGamers, Nintendo has trailed other console makers when it comes to accessibility features.
In 2017, AbleGamers COO called on Nintendo to add system-level controller remapping, saying the company was "still the worst" when it came to accessibility issues. Spohn noted that Nintendo was the only platform holder at the time to prevent the use of third-party peripherals like those some disabled gamers rely on. (Microsoft would actually make its own such product with the Xbox Adaptive Controller the following year.)
