Dragon Quest VII, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and a group of other familiar games made up the top-20 amidst a slow week for new releases.
Last week, Nippon Ichi released The God and Fate Revolution Paradox in Japan, and the game sold 23,417 copies in its first week.
Nintendo also provided worldwide sales figures for New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land.
The week after the holidays is when sales drop across the board, and that’s what happened in Japan last week.
Fantasy Life, Inazuma Eleven Go 2: Chrono Stone, and Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney showed up to celebrate the holidays in Level 5 style.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf reclaimed the #1 spot on the sales chart, while One Piece Romance Dawn came in at #2. Plus, how much did AKB1/149 Love Election sell?
Level 5 released Inazuma Eleven Go 2: Chrono Stone in Japan last week. How does it compare to its predecessors?
The Wii U launched in Japan this past weekend, with New Super Mario Bros. U and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate at its side.
Nintendo Land began development around the same time as the Wii U, with the development team experimenting with the second screen idea.
Six years after the launch of the Wii and the motion control explosion, Nintendo has a new console and a different innovation. Let’s check out the Wii U.
Love it or hate it, Wii Sports is intuitive. It’s easy to grasp the idea of motion controlled gaming when you swing a remote like a tennis racket. Nintendo Land isn’t as direct. It feels like Nintendo made this game so players understand what the Wii U GamePad can do.
Yoshi’s Fruit Cart, Captain Falcon’s Twister Race, and Octopus Dance are the final three Nintendo Land attractions.
Pikmin Adventure is one of the three team attractions in Nintendo Land. The player with the Wii U gamepad gets to be Captain Olimar (well, a Mii dressed as him) and the other four players are giant Pikmin.
Nintendo Land brings Balloon Fight back to consoles with a single player remake of Balloon Trip. Balloon Trip Breeze straps two balloons to your Mii, but instead of mashing the A button you make swiping motions on the Wii U gamepad’s touch screen to create a blasts of wind.
