The Alliance Alive sold through 70% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 5 Comments
In its first week in Japan, The Alliance Alive sold around 25,000 – 30,000 copies. That may not seem like a lot, but FuRyu had realistic expectations. The RPG wasn’t overshipped as Dengeki reports that The Alliance Alive sold through 70 percent of its initial shipment.
The Legend of Legacy, FuRyu’s last 3DS RPG, saw first week sales of 53,974. It also sold through 83 percent of its initial shipment. The Alliance Alive has sold less so far, but it could have longer legs as the player reception has been more favorable this time around.

ARMS has best launch for an unlicensed fighting game in Japan within the past seven years
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 23 Comments
Nintendo probably couldn’t have asked for a better debut for ARMS in Japan. The game sold around 100,000 between June 16 and June 18. As a new IP on a system that’s in its early lifecycle, that’s not bad at all.
Some new information really puts into perspective just how well ARMS did. It had the best debut for an unlicensed fighting game in Japan over the past seven years. ARMS beat out the likes of Street Fighter (more than double the sales of Street Fighter V), BlazBlue, The King of Fighters, and Tekken.
Note that due to the nature of the graph (unlicensed), franchises like Dragon Ball and One Piece aren’t represented. Super Smash Bros. also isn’t here, but the graph mainly isn’t focusing on characters from non-fighting games.
