Monster Hunter Stories sold 141,000 copies in its first week, according to Media Create. Now the sales tracker has shared more on how it’s done thus far.

As a Monster Hunter spin-off game aimed at low-age audiences (think children), it far exceeded Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airou Village DX, which was released in September 2015 and sold 59,000 copies with 57.48 percent sell-through rate. Based on Media Create’s findings with regard to pre-orders, promotions like the demo and the anime broadcast helped boost the number by about 20 to 30 percent. However, Monster Hunter Stories’ first week sell-through rate was 51.83 percent, which was less than Airou Village DX.

Store clerks have also said that adults are mainly showing more interest. This might be seen as a lacking start from a retailer perspective.

Some footage of Disney Magical World 2 has just been uploaded to YouTube. The footage runs for almost two hours, so dig in with the video below.

Thanks to leaks from the latest issue of CoroCoro, we heard that Level-5 is developing a third version of Yo-kai Watch 3. Japan will be receiving the new “Sukiyaki” in December.

Scans of the game have now appeared from CoroCoro, and we have a few extra details as well. Sukiyaki will feature new Yo-kai, a new “Blasters T” mode, and quests based on the 2016 movie.
