A few days ago, Media Create reported that Disney Magical World 2 sold around 74,000 units in its first week in Japan. The sales tracker didn’t provide any additional information about the game’s performance, though Dengeki does offer insight of its own.
Dengeki’s sales number is pretty close to Media Create at 78,500 units (with hardware bundles included). The previous game, which launched in August 2013, sold 107,000 copies at launch. Dengeki also says that Disney Magical World 2 sold through 35 percent of its initial shipment.
While the game may seem to be off to a sluggish start, the previous entry was an evergreen title that eventually became a super hit, so there is hope that this one will see growth in the future as well. For reference, the first Disney Magical World’s sales have exceeded 500,000 units sold.

It’s been a very busy day for amiibo news. We’ve heard about new Animal Crossing figures plus Famicom R.O.B coming to North America, and we even saw a first look at the Ryu amiibo.
That’s not all though. Found it what seems to be a GameStop display is confirmation of another amiibo exclusive. In the United States, you’ll only be able to purchase Roy at GameStop.
Update: Bumped to the top. The amiibo news keeps coming in! Rover and Kapp’n have also been found in the system.
A Target display has revealed the existence of a brand new amiibo. At some point in the future, Nintendo will be launching the Timmy & Tommy Nook figure. Target’s display indicates that this amiibo will be exclusive to the retailer in the United States.
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash is compatible with several amiibo, including the gold Mario figure. Take a look at some footage of the character in action below.
Aside from the Timmy & Tommy Nook amiibo, there’s another important item included in Target’s retail display. It appears that the Famicom R.O.B. amiibo is heading west based on the image above. Nintendo hasn’t made any official announcements yet, but there’s no reason for it to be featured in the display if it isn’t coming over.
