It was a great game, but they had you repeat dungeons to add to the length (like to collect everything) and so after getting all the endings and swords it finally started feeling old. All that to say it was an excellent game, they just didn't know how to leave on top and end the game (or mix up the dungeons or give a fast warp back from them)

It'll get a boost as soon as an official price drop to $30 happens. Besides amazon.com which sells it for $40 it's still full price @ $50 everywhere else. Gamestop doesn't count as they are all out of stock!!!

You're right. It was very low budget. I remember reading they only needed to sell 50k to make a profit on it. They must be very happy with these sales, and will hopefully make a sequel.

I put sales in others at 100k bet JP (60K) and Americas (140K). So it puts this game probably at around 300k.

This was a joy to play and surprisingly just as much of a joy to watch my brother play after I'd finished. I saw so many things I'd missed while actually playing. People can bash the wii all they want, but as long as there are gems like this amongst the landscape I'll keep seeking them out. ;)

I still really love this game. I haven't been able to play it much since it came out but have put plenty of time in this past week.

I really enjoy all of the elements that give the game the "Japan" feel that it has. Props to the developer for not removing the Japanese voice-overs.

I currently have 90 of the blades and have finished the first two endings for both Kisuke and Momohime. As soon as I finish getting everything I'm going to restart on Shuro and see how that goes.

If a sequel ever gets released you can count me in as a guaranteed buy. This is still my favorite Wii game and probably my favorite new game to be release in nearly 10 years.

I would guess in between Japan and Americas for others (100K?). So this probably hit 300k which is decent but could be better!
