During its first week, Splatoon experienced one of the highest sell-through rates ever in Japan. That number came in at 97.33 percent, which was a sign that the game was almost impossible to find in all stores.

Splatoon has now been on the market for a second week and has yet to show any signs of slowing down. As stated in a Dengeki report, the shooter sold nearly 70,000 copies with a sell-through rate of 90 percent between June 1 and June 7. Media Create’s information will probably vary just slightly, but this is a sign that consumers are still very much interested in Splatoon.

As we mentioned last week, Splatoon allows for a second player in Battle Dojo to use a motion control setup. This can be done by “attaching” a Wii Remote Plus to the Wii U Pro Controller or Classic Controller/Pro. You can get a look at this in the video below.
