Koei Tecmo seems to be pleased with the performance of Hyrule Warriors. During the company’s latest financial earnings Q&A, Koei Tecmo couldn’t say if the game surpassed the 500,000 target since Nintendo handled publishing in the west. However, Hyrule Warriors’ Japanese sales are in line with what was expected, and overseas sales are above expectations. There are hopes for even higher sales outside of Japan with more shipments in the second half of the fiscal year.

Youkai Watch 2: Shinuchi has over 200,000 pre-orders in Japan

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 5 Comments

Youkai Watch 2 has been a massive success in Japan having sold nearly three million units. The game’s third version, Shinuchi, is also expected to sell a ton.

Media Create mentions in its latest report that pre-orders of Shinuchi reached 231,000 copies in just two weeks. Reservations for the game are in line with Youkai Watch 2’s previous versions. That’s quite impressive, especially given how pre-orders for Shinuchi began later than the first two Youkai Watch 2 titles.
