Super Mario RPG Switch remake has already surpassed the original game’s lifetime sales
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo should be pleased with how Super Mario RPG is performing on Switch as the remake has already outsold the original.
As part of today’s financial results, we learned that the game has sold 3.14 million units. Believe it or not, that’s actually above what the SNES version did in its lifetime, and by quite a fair bit. The original release only sold 2.14 million. Also worth noting, the feat was done in just six weeks.
