To say that the launch of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS was a success in Japan would be an understatement. As the title officially arrived at retailers, long lines were spotted at numerous stores.

Take a look at this video for instance:

Nintendo’s Bill Trinen also posted this video last night:

As Media Create reported yesterday, Dragon Quest X for 3DS sold just over 52,000 copies in its first week. Those sales were accompanied by an incredibly high sell-through rate.

According to Media Create, Dragon Quest X 3DS sold through 95.53 percent of its initial shipment, leading to sell outs in many stores. A download campaign also increased the user base for the game, so makers’ expectations were exceeded and new shipments are halted temporarily. As a result, next week’s sales numbers are expected to decline.

Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire’s soundtrack is coming to Japan on December 3, The Pokemon Company announced today. No word on pricing just yet.
