Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice debuted in Japan last week. During its first few days on the market, the game sold nearly 200,000 copies. Media Create now has more information about its performance.
Sales for Spirit of Justice fell about 20 percent when stacked up to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies’ first week. In July 2013, that game sold 250,000 units.
Media Create does note that pre-orders were roughly the same for the two titles. Spirit of Justice had 129,000 pre-orders while Dual Destinies’ reservations were at 121,000.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice started out by focusing on core fans of the series who pre-ordered the game, and the floating buyers are considered to be reduced. Considering proactive measures from multimedia expansion have been pushed such as a TV anime currently airing, Media Create says that the results can be hardly said to be sufficient.
Another small note by the way: the Lime x Black and Pink x White New 3DS XL colors sold 10,000 units. It contributed to the gaming market and helped raise overall hardware numbers a bit.

IGN hosted a gameplay demo for Skylanders Imaginators at E3 a little while ago. You can get a look at the full recording below.
Last year, Best Buy offered the Super Mario Maker button set as a pre-order bonus. It can now be purchased from a normal price straight from the retailer’s site. It’s available for $8, which isn’t too bad!
Another 65 minutes of Rhythm Heaven Megamix footage has been posted on YouTube. For another look at the game, view the video below.
In an interview with IGN, Shigeru Miyamoto teased what Nintendo is planning next for Mario. Miyamoto said that the company is trying to make “a new kind of Mario”, which has a possibility of showing up at E3 next year.
He said:
“We’re always challenging ourselves to create something new, so hopefully you’ll see a new kind of Mario in about a year or two. Maybe next E3 we’ll be able to share something.”
Later in the discussion, Miyamoto noted that there are different challenges with Mario compared to Zelda – which is seeing a refresh of sorts through Breath of the Wild – due to the wide audience Mario games reach.
“It’s kind of difficult with Mario because some of the more important conventions of Mario are based on the approachability and accessibility of those games. (Having new people join Nintendo has allowed Nintendo to look) at the conventions with fresh eyes.”
