It’s time for everybody’s favorite hot-button topic — sales reports! Specifically in Japan, where the sales chart was topped by Nintendo Switch Sports, selling over 190,000 copies on its debut.

Have you ever wanted to play 3DS games on a big screen with blown-up resolution, no 3D, and no portability? Maybe not? Well, Twitter user @SWIMMIN has made it happen anyway, with a rejiggered homebrew dev/capture kit that outputs the console to two monitors. Now that I got retail…
