With 1.3 million copies sold in its first week, Youkai Watch 2 experienced the highest debut for any game in Level-5’s recent history.

At the moment, Inazuma Eleven, Professor Layton, and The Little Battlers are Level-5’s other big franchises. Here’s a look at the highest openings from each of these series:

(2008) Professor Layton and the Unwound Future – 347,360
(2010) Inazuma Eleven 3: Lightning Bolt/Bomb Blast – 505,161
(2011) The Little Battlers – 166,187
