Bloo Kid 2 has earned most of its revenue on 3DS
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 7 Comments
Bloo Kid 2 has appeared on several platforms since last March. Yet the 3DS version has managed to generate the most sales, earning 36 percent of the overall revenue.
Bloo Kid 2 has sold over 5,500 copies through the eShop. Because of the title’s performance, it covered all of the developer’s costs.
winterworks wrote in a blog post:
The 3DS version was a rough ride. I was super happy when we were accepted as a developer for Nintendo platforms (dream come true!) so I ordered the dev-hardware and got my hands dirty at once.
The Monkey-X framework cannot target the 3DS hardware, so I had to create an own 3DS target build. I also had to rearrange resource-loading and add more UI-screens for the 3DS’ second display as well as change a lot of stuff for the stereoscopic 3D-effect.I got major help from my former colleague Florian Eisele, who will be working closely with me on future projects. He did all the hardware-related coding so that I could focus on adopting the game to the new display and input possibilities of the 3DS. We had a version running within days, but it took us many additional weeks to iron out every problem like running out of video RAM or occasional framerate drops.
In the end, it totally paid off. We now have a Nintendo 3DS title in our portfolio! And the game sold well enough to cover all our costs.

Project X Zone 2 sold through 60% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 12 Comments
According to Dengeki’s own sales numbers, Project X Zone 2 sold just over 37,000 copies in its first week in Japan (fairly close to Media Create’s figure of 41,000 copies). The site also says that the game managed to sell through 60 percent of its initial shipment.
So what should we make of these numbers? Well, Dengeki has the original Project X Zone at 78,000 copies sold in its first week, and lifetime sales of 140,000 units total. Sales for the sequel do seem to be a bit sluggish thus far. If the performance of the first Project X Zone is anything to go by, the second entry may end up doing better in the west.

October 2015 NPD: Yoshi, Zelda, and Chibi-Robo! sales
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 14 Comments
Last week, NPD reported on sales in the United States for the month of October. Yoshi’s Woolly World was the only Nintendo game in the top ten having been placed at the number eight spot. Thanks to the ever-reliable creamsugar, we have additional information about the game’s performance as well as two other titles from the Big N.
Yoshi’s Woolly World’s debut sales in the U.S. came in at 165,000 units. The title shipped on October 16, so that figure accounts for about two weeks of sales.
As for the other Nintendo titles, we now know how The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes and Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash sold. The two moved 83,000 copies and 35,000 units respectively.
Disney Magical World 2 sold through 35% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
A few days ago, Media Create reported that Disney Magical World 2 sold around 74,000 units in its first week in Japan. The sales tracker didn’t provide any additional information about the game’s performance, though Dengeki does offer insight of its own.
Dengeki’s sales number is pretty close to Media Create at 78,500 units (with hardware bundles included). The previous game, which launched in August 2013, sold 107,000 copies at launch. Dengeki also says that Disney Magical World 2 sold through 35 percent of its initial shipment.
While the game may seem to be off to a sluggish start, the previous entry was an evergreen title that eventually became a super hit, so there is hope that this one will see growth in the future as well. For reference, the first Disney Magical World’s sales have exceeded 500,000 units sold.
