For the original release of Hyrule Warriors, Koei Tecmo brought out special “Premium Box” and “Treasure Box” Editions. The 3DS version, Hyrule Warriors Legends, is receiving the same treatment as well.

The Premium Box will include a compass-style pendant watch and art book. These items are also in the Premium Box, which also contains a gold ocarina and a fairy plushie.

Koei Tecmo recently showed off the pendant and ocarina during a stage event at Tokyo Game Show. You can get a look at both below.

Super Mario Maker sold through 56% of its initial shipment in Japan

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 16 Comments

Super Mario Maker moved 150,000 units in its first week in Japan. According to sales tracker Media Create, the game sold through 56.03 percent of its initial shipment.

Media Create heard from store owners that many people who purchased Super Mario Maker were adults. This is likely because they are the ones who would have grown up playing Mario.

Also, there were hardware bundles that included the game (both types together sold 12,000 units), leading to a nearly double increase in Wii U sales from last week (204.18 percent), exceeding sales from the first week of June. Since the Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle will soon be replacing the Mario Kart 8 edition, Media Create believes this should increase long term sales during the coming end of year season.
