Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee were some of the biggest game releases this past week. The first region to report sales is the UK, where the two titles did pretty well all things considered.

An initial figure puts the Pokemon: Let’s Go games at 116,000 copies sold – not including digital. Pikachu was apparently the more popular version by quite a bit.

A couple of weeks after it appeared in the west, the 3DS remake of Luigi’s Mansion has debuted in Japan. In its first week, the game sold about 27,000 copies. Dengeki further reports a sell-through rate of 45%.

Dengeki adds that Luigi’s Mansion’s initial sales seem a bit slow given the performance of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. The latter game sold nearly 350,000 copies in its first week and over one million overall.

We do have to remember a couple of things here. First, many players have moved on from 3DS to Switch. We also have to keep in mind that this is ultimately a remake. It’ll be interesting to see how Luigi’s Mansion 3 does in 2019.

Lumines Remastered

Lumines Remastered is currently out on Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam. Yet it’s Nintendo’s console where the game has sold the best.

Enhance Games’ Tetsuya Mizuguchi stopped by a recent episode of The Game Informer Show where he answered a ton of rapid-fire questions. When asked what system Lumines Remastered is selling the best on, Mizuguchi said it’s the Switch. As a follow up, Game Informer asked if it’s Switch by a mile. Mark MacDonald, who is working with Mizuguchi, simply said “yes”.

Lumines Remastered launched on Switch at the end of June and can be found on the eShop.

At PAX Aus 2018, a special panel was held in which four different indies discussed bringing their games to Switch and more. Ash Ringrose from SMG Studio, Henrik Pettersson from The Voxel Agents, League of Geeks’ Matthew Rowland, and Harmonious Games’ Joe Park were in attendance.

For almost two years now, we’ve heard from a number of indies about how well their games sold on Switch. This is something that was brought up during the panel as well, with most of the developers sharing information and data about their eShop performance.
