Tengami has sold 11,000 copies on Wii U
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Update: Bumped to the top. More comments from Nyamyam’s Twitter account:
Seeing a bit of mixed interpretations of Tengami's current sales figures. I consider 11k on the Wii U a good number. 1/2
— Nyamyam (@nyamyamgames) July 16, 2015
Whereas 11k on PC is obviously not that great, but also not that unsurprising considering that the game is best suited to touch.
— Nyamyam (@nyamyamgames) July 16, 2015
All in all we are really happy with how Tengami sold on all platforms and hope that revealing our sales numbers is beneficial to other devs.
— Nyamyam (@nyamyamgames) July 16, 2015
During a post-mortem talk at this year’s Develop conference, Nyamyam shared sales data for its debut game Tengami.
Tengami managed to move 11,000 copies on Wii U. While that’s hardly comparable to the game’s iOS sales of 196,000 units, it’s similar to the performance on PC/Mac.
Nyamyam co-founder Jennifer Schneidereit also said:
“A lot of developers ask me about the Wii U, whether it’s a good platform for independent developers. To be honest, I don’t know if it’s a good platform for independent developers, but I don’t regret releasing on the Wii U. We decided we’re going to do a Wii U version, I worked under the assumption it would sell 10,000 copies – it sold a little bit more by now, so that’s okay. Speaking to other independent developers, there seems to be a consensus that the average indie game on the eShop has sold 10,000 copies in its lifetime – we’ve sold 11,000 now, and I think there’s more room to grow. I think our lifetime sales will be closer to 20,000 in the end.”

Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright sells a bit more than Conquest in Japan, 90% sell-through
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 23 Comments
Media Create has shared a little extra additional information about Fire Emblem Fates’ debut sales in Japan.
As mentioned earlier this week, the game managed to sell over 300,000 units. Birthright sold a bit more out of the two versions, with Media Create reporting that it moved 154,000 copies. On the other hand, Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest sold 107,000 units. The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition chipped in with another 43,000 copies.
Fire Emblem Fates managed to outdo its predecessor, Fire Emblem: Awakening, in terms of first week sales – 304,000 units vs. 243,000 units. It’s also worth mentioning that lifetime sales of Awakening in Japan are at 492,000 copies sold.
Media Create didn’t provide a sell-through rate for Fire Emblem Fates, but Dengeki has come through with that information. According to the site, visible buzz surrounding the game allowed it to sell through 90 percent of its initial stock.

Nintendo is surprised by Splatoon’s success
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 36 Comments
Nintendo announced last week that, since launch, Splatoon has sold over one million copies worldwide. The game’s success is something that surprised the company.
Speaking at Nintendo’s latest shareholders meeting, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said:
As some of you may have seen the TV commercials we have been airing recently, “Splatoon” is a brand-new title and not a title from an established series. It has a very unique and fantasy-like setting. This game, inspired by squid squirting out ink, is played by human-shaped characters with squid-like features shooting, instead of squirting, ink at each other, and the team that paints the widest area in its team color wins. Having received high recognition from our consumers for its novelty, this title’s sell-through sales reached 1 million units in less than a month from its release. We feel very grateful for this, since our view was not so optimistic prior to release, for it being a non-series title.
