We have a few more bits of information regarding Fire Emblem Fates’ debut sales in the United States, along with data for a crossover 3DS title.

Nintendo confirmed earlier today that Fates sold close to 400,000 copies between Birthright and Conquest in February, with digital sales included. NPD leaker creamsugar puts the games at a combined 315,000 units sold – less than Nintendo’s amount since eShop sales aren’t accounted for here. Birthright sold the most with 44 percent (roughly 138,600), followed by Conquest at 41 percent (roughly 129,150) and the special edition at 15 percent (roughly 47,250).

Moving on, debut sales are in for Project X Zone 2. The game sold 18,000 copies in the United States last month – not counting any eShop sales.

Note that Fire Emblem Fates and Project X Zone 2 did not have a full month of sales since they launched during the middle of February. NPD’s February reporting period ended on February 27.

Thanks to Brian for the tip.

Nintendo has issued a response to the latest NPD sales report. There’s even more good news regarding Fire Emblem Fates’ performance in the U.S. last month as well as the classic Pokemon re-releases on the eShop.

First, Nintendo says that Fire Emblem Fates sold nearly 400,000 copies when combining physical and digital versions. “This far outpaces 2013’s Fire Emblem Awakening game, the series’ previous record-holder in the United States,” according to the company.

In other news, Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow on the 3DS eShop broke the first-week sales record. Super Smash Bros. for 3DS previously held this achievement.

Head past the break to read Nintendo’s February 2016 NPD response in full.

Update 2 (3/10): Bumped to the top again. Monster Hunter Generations is now up on Amazon Canada


Update: Bumped to the top. Amazon has been updated with the proper 20% pre-order discount.


Original (3/7): Amazon has started taking pre-orders for Monster Hunter Generations. To reserve the game, head on over here. We’ll update this post as Generations becomes available at other retailers.

Note that the 20% Prime discount is not live yet. If you’re interested in Monster Hunter Generations though, you may want to reserve it now. There’s been a glitch with a bunch of Amazon games lately, where games that didn’t receive the discount ended up being 40% off instead. This won’t be reflected right away, but it should show up before Generations launches.
