So embarrassing and sad...
Very strong start.
Hope they change their minds and make propers carts to sell the next batch of physical releases, but with selling out as a GKC its pointing them in the direct opposite direction.
I probably will never see the appeal of this type of game. To me it just seems like doing chores.
I think the appeal is in predictable regular rewards and the ability to go at your own pace.
Beating a tough boss can be rewarding or winning in a multiplayet game, but thats a bit unpredictable when things will click and you'll get that dopamine hit. Sometimes you just want something mellow and simple where you can set a goal and pretty much guarantee you can achieve it.
1 million in Japan alone?
Ohhh, I'm VERY curious about those Famitsu numbers coming tomorrow now!
Both consoles and videogame sales, tomorrow many will talk about those numbers.
I'd love to see whether it pushed hardware outside of Japan too. It's a shame Japan is the only market where we get weekly figures
Ok we knew it was a big surprise its reception, but these numbers, interesting, tomorrow many youtube channels will talk about the sales in Japan.
What's the heck, it's sold out everywhere in my country. It really is a smash hit, all game stores struggle to get copies!
By the end of this generation all Nintendo games will be GKC
Game will have LEGS
Lmaoo the hype for this game is huge in France doesn’t surprise me
Was there even any hype around this game (outside of Japan)?
Must have been. I just think it was outside the normal places "hardcore" gamers might frequent.
It’s sold out in many places in North America. There’s a big disconnect between hardcore gaming hobbyists and the world at large.
