Almost Complete Nintendomination Appears in Major Japanese Retailer’s Weekly Sales Charts

Every week the major Japanese retailer Tsutaya publishes its sales charts, that are normally considered a good indication on what the more precise Media Create sales charts will look like on Wednesday, considering that Tsutaya has a large number of stores spread across the whole country.

This week’s sales charts (from August the 12th to August the 18th) will definitely spark a few smiles atop Nintendo’s ivory tower.

Wow,

Those Extra Months on Pikmin 3 really show in the charts.
I hope that the other games have the same pay-offs.

The 3DS goes without saying, with the way it is performing world wide, people who believe that Nintendo is about to bow-out are really delusional.

Anyway, October and November will introduce "New Rivals" - and we will see if the hype matches their sales.

i take dragon crown over the other kiddies nintendo games everydays.

Brucis3914d ago

I've been greatly enjoying Dragon's Crown but there's no need to be a jackass.

PopRocks3593913d ago

Immature is a better word, I would say. If you can't appreciate something because it's "too kiddy" then you probably have no place calling yourself a fan of the medium. There's a reason why film enthusiasts have a great deal of appreciation for Pixar Animation Studios when all they produce is family entertainment.

dredgewalker3914d ago

I like dragon's crown too but I also enjoy 3DS games. I love both my Vita and my 3DS XL. I get best of both worlds.

Xof3914d ago

You should really try playing a Nintendo game sometime. You're in for a big surprise.

jcnba283914d ago

Yes because games like Fire Emblem: Awakening, RE: Revelations, Shin Megami Tensei 4 etc. are such kiddy games.

MrMister3913d ago (Edited 3913d ago )

To be fair, the only Nintendo game you mentioned was Fire Emblem. And of the 3 games you mentioned, it was the only one to not get a mature rating (Fire Emblem was teen rated).

But anyway, that other guy (dark-kyon) didn't have to insult Nintendo's games like that. Besides, Dragon Crown was only a 3rd party game too.

The_Villager3913d ago

Dragon Crown is rated T for Teen. LOL

RFornillos43913d ago

Phoenix Wright is rated M... and Dragon's Crown is T for teens...

ha! kiddie games...

Whoa. Good job Nintendo. This is kinda off topic but is anyone gonna see Kick Ass 2 soon?

mii-gamer3914d ago

yep. Violence and Superhero vigilantes = win

EXVirtual3914d ago

I know right. Not to mention Chloe Mortez is SPICY! Again. Pretty off topic.
On topic Nintendo is pretty good with swimming in money in Japan.

sincitysir13914d ago

I saw it and honestly it was mediocre. It's awkward and characters disappear and u don't even care.

AJBACK2FRAG3913d ago

Hilarious also. Cruddy story but so very funny. Anybody get the Brat Pack (Rick Vietch comic books) refrence?

HugoDrax3914d ago

Watched it at midnight. Hylarious! and is everything you expect from the franchise. I'll say my favorite aspects of the film involved Mother Russia.

animegamingnerd3914d ago

saw it this morning it was good but not as good as the first one

PlayStation Plus Hidden Gem: Magic Orbz

“I thoroughly enjoy retro-style games and with that, Magic Orbz modernises the classic brick breaking formula and it has held up beautifully.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.

This game deserves a remaster for current consoles. It was awesome on PS3.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv723d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii3d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast3d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM3d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife2d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit2d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife2d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
