Persona Q2

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Persona Q2 is the only Nintendo-related title in the top ten, but others like Project Octopath Traveler and Shin Megami Tensei V aren’t too far behind.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between December 21 and December 27.

Mario Party: The Top 100 debuted in Japan on December 28. Through December 31, it moved a little over 50,000 copies. Dengeki further adds that the game sold through roughly 60% of its initial shipment.

We also know that Mario Party: The Top 100 sold another 50,000 copies in its second week, so sales remained very steady. Part of that is likely due to carryover from the holidays. Even so, for the kind of game it is, Nintendo is likely pleased with how it’s selling thus far.
