Youkai Watch 2: Shinuchi was the big seller last week with 1.244 million copies sold. The title’s sales saw an expected drop to 533,000 units. As a result, overall sales for the market were at 1.909 million, which was 84.36 percent of the previous week.

Because of Christmas demand, consoles sold 108.48 percent compared to last week. Total hardware sales for the week before Christmas went down to 71.48 percent of that of last year.

Nyamyam says Tengami sales on Wii U “have been somewhat disappointing”

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 17 Comments

Update: Nyamyam also added the following on Twitter…

I think people are reading a little bit too much into Phil saying the Wii U sales were disappointing, as he doesn't give a reference point..
— Nyamyam (@nyamyamgames) December 30, 2014

..for what good sales would have looked like.
— Nyamyam (@nyamyamgames) December 30, 2014

Sales number X might be disappointing to Phil, but good news for another developer.
— Nyamyam (@nyamyamgames) December 30, 2014

Nyamyam hasn’t disclosed any specific sales figures for Tengami, but the studio says that the game’s performance on Wii U has been “somewhat disappointing”.

Co-creator Phil Tossell told Nintendo Life in a recent interview:

Tengami has done very well for us on iOS. No doubt the worldwide Editor’s Choice was a large contributing factor. I hate to think what might have happened had we not been featured. I’d say that the Wii U sales have been somewhat disappointing. Although we had much lower expectations than iOS, I think even taking that into consideration we’ve been disappointed with the sales so far.

Tengami has been out on Wii U for about two months. Hopefully the game’s sales can pick up over time!

Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition still selling pretty well

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 17 Comments

Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition is still selling on 3DS – despite having launched over three years ago.

100,000 copies of the game were sold between July and September of this year. Total sales now stand at 1.2 million units as a result.

It’s kind of crazy to think that Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition remains a decent seller on 3DS. After all, the game doesn’t have any content from Arcade Edition, 2012 or Ultra Street Fighter IV.
