Dragon Ball Fusions is launching tomorrow in North America. Take a lengthy look at the game below with 85 minutes of gameplay.
Two Nintendo-published games debuted in the United States last month: Paper Mario: Color Splash and Disney Magical World 2. We now have sales data for both. Paper Mario’s new entry sold about 100,000 units while the 3DS game is estimated to have sold in the neighborhood of 10,000 copies.
Data is also in for other 3DS titles. Yo-kai Watch 2, which shipped in September, sold under 50,000 units. Dragon Quest VII also came out last month and unfortunately appears to have poor legs. It was outsold by the likes of Pokemon X/Y, Smash Bros., and Pokken Tournament at retail.
Lastly, we can say that Skylanders Imaginators sold 66,000 units while Just Dance 2017 moved under 30,000 copies.
Update: Paper Mario: Color Splash is also eligible.
Original: Amazon discounts pre-orders and recently-launched games for Prime members, but customers without a membership can now partake in a few savings as well. Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Maker for 3DS, and Pokemon Sun/Moon are all 15 percent off. No word on how long this will last unfortunately!
A couple of new 3DS themes are out now in Japan. Here’s the lineup:
Puyo Puyo Chronicle (x3) – 200 yen each
Osomatsu-san: Igi Koushin!! – 200 yen
