Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon couldn’t have sold any better in Japan. As you already know, the game moved 280,000 copies in its first week. Media Create reports that Dark Moon sold through 85% (specifically 84.79%) of stock, likely leading to sell-outs.

Cumulative sales of the original Luigi’s Mansion stand at 640,000 units in Japan. But as Media Create notes, it’s difficult to compare sales of the two since conditions on the market were different. The original Luigi’s Mansion, for instance, was a launch title on GameCube.

The “N” series isn’t done just yet! Five years following N+, developer Metanet Software has announced a third installment, which will conclude the franchise.

Co-founder Mare Sheppard said during the reveal of N++ at GDC earlier today:

“We’re making N++. The final iteration of N. We’ve never really felt like N was done. We felt some ideas could be taken further. Part of us didn’t feel like we could move on to other games until we finished N. Anytime we ever felt like returning to N, we felt like it’d be a step backward. So to move forward, we gave up on N.”

Things haven’t been so easy for Sheppard and co-founder Raigan Burns over the past few years. Although the company did produce new games, “they never felt as good as N. We felt crushed and lost confidence. We started to feel like N was the only thing we could ever do.”

After reflecting on Metanet’s recent past, Sheppard noted how N++ came about after fan interest and realizing that the series required a conclusion.

“Is this a step back? At this point in our lives, this feels like the right thing to do […] It doesn’t matter if the game is popular or critically acclaimed. We know we’ll have tried our best to make it great, and close that chapter, and have the feeling of being done and feeling free. Making games couldn’t be so rewarding if it wasn’t so difficult. It would help all of us better if we could talk about the psychological pitfalls of making games as much as the technical ones.”

Unfortunately, specific details about N++ were not provided including intended platforms. More information is coming soon.
