Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
The Legend of Legacy ended up selling 53,974 copies in its first week, according to Media Create. It’s now been made known that the game sold through 83 percent of its initial shipment. That made The Legend of Legacy tough to find at retail.
Retailers told Media Create that The Legend of Legacy mainly sold to fans of the SaGa series. In the past, FuRyu heavily promoted how the game was made by Square Enix staff including those who worked on SaGa.

Thanks to supplementary financial results information issued by Nintendo, we now have a fresh release schedule and million sellers list from the company.
In terms of release dates, Yoshi’s Woolly World is still apparently targeted for the first half of 2015 in North America and Europe. Other games like Mario Maker, Zelda, and Star Fox have vague “2015” dates. Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem is still on the list as “TBD”.
You can find the full release schedule and million sellers list in the gallery above.

Thanks to the latest Media Create report, it’s been confirmed that The Legend of Legacy sold 53,974 copies in its first week at Japanese retail. It turns out that the title is FuRyu’s best-selling game at launch by quite a large margin.
Here’s a look at how The Legend of Legacy stacks up to FuRyu’s previous releases:
(2011) Unchained Blades [PSP] – 18,256
(2011) Unchained Blades [3DS] – 5,592
(2011) Tsuku Monogatari [PSP] – 13,329
(2012) Unchained Blades Exxiv [PSP] – 6,793
(2012) Unchained Blades Exxiv [3DS] – 6,645
(2014) Lost Dimension [PSV] – 3,868
The Legend of Legacy certainly did well given that its a new IP, and comes from a small publisher!
