• Pac-Man: unlocks the EAT’EM UP! song and some elements in the Kisekae Shoot mode

Also, check out two new commercials for the game after the break:

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes moved 54,400 copies in its first week in Japan, according to Media Create. The sales tracker didn’t provide a sell-through rate, but Dengeki – who also keeps track of data – did come through on that front.

It looks like Tri Force Heroes managed to sell through 55 percent of its initial shipment. One important point to bring up, however, is that Dengeki has the game closer to having sold 60,000 copies.

Going back to Media Create for a moment, it’s mentioned that multiplayer content has been given the spotlight when marketed with TV commercials and such. For this reason and the fact that it differs from the series’ traditional single-player emphasis, it can be concluded that the strong spin-off flavor resulted in these sales numbers.
