Japan: Super Mario 3D World sees lowest debut for a 3D Mario game
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 17 Comments
Super Mario 3D World’s first week sales from Japan are in. Unfortunately, they’re not too hot.
Nintendo sold just over 100,000 copies of Super Mario 3D World in Japan last week. With roughly 107,000 copies in the hands of gamers, it’s the lowest debut for a 3D Mario game.
Here’s how Super Mario 3D World stacks up to other 3D entries:
1) Super Mario Galaxy 2 – 337,569 (1,032,853 total)
2) Super Mario 3D Land – 344,698 (1,861,023 total)
3) Super Mario Sunshine – 280,610 (789,989 total)
4) Super Mario Galaxy – 256,341 (1,025,664 total)
5) Super Mario 64* – 162,113 (1,639,914 total)
6) Super Mario 64 DS* – 120,062 (1,231,535 total)
7) Super Mario 3D World – 106,967
* Launch title
Of course, there are some things to consider here, such as the Wii U’s very low install base. Mario 3D World will also likely be one of Nintendo’s titles that continues to sell continuously over the next few years.

Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games fame has high praise for Super Mario 3D World. CliffyB has been playing the title since it launched late last week, and just finished it today.
After beating Super Mario 3D World, Bleszinski had this to say:
Finished Super Mario 3D World. Loved every minute of it. So tightly designed. System selling title for the Wii U.

The amount of "Hey I'll go look over here or try something different" moments that are rewarded in Super Mario 3D World are staggering.

Bleszinski was also sharing positive thoughts about 3D World last week, such as:
Holy crap this new Mario game is pure bliss.

My cheeks are sore from smiling so hard while playing the new Mario it's just a love letter to what makes Mario so great.

I’ll admit: I can’t really recommend many of you watching this video. If you’ve already completed Super Mario 3D World completely, or have no interest in the game whatsoever, then go for it. Otherwise, stay clear!
