Devolver Digital's ongoing support for Nintendo's hybrid platform appears to be paying off – with the publisher revealing the recently released slow-mo shooter My Friend Pedro – by DeadToast Entertainment – has become the company's "biggest launch to date" on the Switch.





Congrats to pic.twitter.com/Dn9xYLEx16 My Friend Pedro is one of our best launches yet and our biggest launch to date on Nintendo Switch!Congrats to @deadtoast_com and thank you to the amazing community that followed it from its start on sites like @Newgrounds years ago! https://t.co/yYoNKIeF4g June 21, 2019

At this point in time, it's hard to say just how big the Switch launch is, as no exact sales figures have been provided, but in general, it is one of the company's best launches yet.

This follows on from the publisher's positive Nintendo-related news in April, when it revealed Katana Zero was its second fastest-selling game on the Switch, right behind Enter the Gungeon. Switch and PC sales combined, Katana Zero was able to shift more than 100,000 copies in its first week.
