Etrian Odyssey V was the best-selling title during the week of August 1 in Japan. During its first four days on the market, the game sold 92,500 units.

Media Create now notes that Etrian Odyssey V sold through 75.84 percent of its initial shipment. The series’ previous entry, Etrian Odyssey IV, sold 96,000 copies with a sell-through rate of 75.68 percent in its first week. Given these numbers, Media Create says the new title is off to a good start.

Dragon Ball: Fusions is another 3DS game that debuted in Japan last week. It did pretty well, having moved around 75,000 units. When compared with other Dragon Ball releases on 3DS – Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2 (73,000 first week; lifetime 277,000) and Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden (72,000 first week; 174,000 lifetime), Fusions managed to outperform both despite being different genres.

Super Paper Mario recently came out in North America as a Wii download for Wii U. It was also just added to the European eShop today. View some footage below.

Pokemon GO launched with a McDonald’s partnership a couple of weeks ago. Over 3,000 locations became either PokeStops or Gyms. The move made sense for the fast food restaurant, as they likely knew it would boost business.

And that’s exactly what’s happened. McDonald’s sales in Japan rose 27 percent last month, with the company stating that there was demand for children’s meals featuring Pokemon toys and increased traffic thanks to Pokemon GO.

That’s definitely good news for McDonald’s, but the restaurant believes it’s too early to estimate Pokemon GO’s impact on earnings. That being said, more customers are being drawn in due to the partnership.
