Pokemon Sun & Moon were finally released in the UK and in Europe last Wednesday, and it looks like the delayed release compared to the rest of the world hasn’t hurt sales of the games at all.

In fact, according to Eurogamer, Pokemon Sun & Moon are Nintendo’s biggest ever launch in the United Kingdom – the two games combined sold more in one day than Wii Fit did in two weeks when it launched back in 2008. To put it into perspective, that’s more than 300,000 units.

This is even more impressive considering that the UK is usually one of Nintendo’s worst markets in the UK – it’s likely that Pokemon Sun & Moon sold even better in countries where Nintendo has a stronger presence, like France and Germany. Part of this sales success can definitely be attributed to Pokemon GO; sales of Pokemon X, Y and ORAS spiked during the summer when GO was released, and it’s likely that some of that carried over to Sun & Moon.

This week’s issue of Famitsu contains a six-page article on The Alliance Alive, FuRyu’s new RPG and successor of sorts to The Legend of Legacy. A couple of the pages were rehash, but new information was included as well.

To recap, the game follows a story in which the Demon Clan invaded the human world thousands of years ago. After the lands were split apart, they are now ruled by a caste system that puts the Demon Clan at the top.
