New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe was the top seller in Japan this past week having sold 166,303 copies. The game actually performed almost identically to the Wii U version.
Expanding on the game’s sales, Media Create points out that the Wii U original sold 164,000 copies in its first week. It also had a 55.32% sell-through rate. To compare, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe sold through 52.53% of its initial shipment in Japan.

In a couple of weeks, DreamWorks Dragons Dawn of New Riders will be appearing on Switch. Get a look at some early footage below.
Developer Ultra Dolphin Revolution has announced Real Men Use Items!, a fighting game obviously inspired by Super Smash Bros., but done in an 8-bit style. As the name implies, the focus of this game lies on the use of various items scattered around the stage to deal damage to your opponents. Multiplayer matches with up to 4 players will be supported.
Real Men Use Items! currently has no release date – or platform. The game is planned exclusively for “Nintendo systems”, though Ultra Dolphin Revolution doesn’t specify which systems. The Nintendo Switch seems like a safe bet, but given the game’s visuals, a 3DS version also seems possible. We will keep you updated once we have more information. In the meantime, here’s a gameplay trailer:
The latest Grand Conquest battle has started in Fire Emblem Heroes. As always, the battle consists of three rounds, each of which lasts two days. This time, the battle takes place in Magvel, the setting of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. The three army leaders are Lyon (red), Ephraim (green) and Innes (blue).
Nintendo published a neat little statistic on their Japanese website today: the 30 most downloaded games on the Japanese eShop in 2018. Just like the download charts on the eShop itself, there are two lists: one for games that also have physical versions and one for games that are only available on the eShop. Unsurprisingly, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate takes the top spot in the first list. Human: Fall Flat being the most downloaded digital-only title is a bit more surprising, however.
