Taiko Drum Master: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure off to a slower start than its predecessors

Taiko Drum Master: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure managed to sell just over 32,000 copies in its first week in Japan. Media Create now reports that the game sold through just 29.31 percent of its initial shipment.

Dokodon! Mystery Adventure is off to a slower start compared to the previous Taiko Drum Master games on 3DS. Little Dragon and the Mysterious Orb, which came out in July 2012, sold 65,000 units in its first week. 2014’s Don and Katsu’s Space-Time Great Adventure then sold 53,000 copies. Both titles saw sell-through rates of about 45 percent.

Even though Taiko Drum Master: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure isn’t selling as well as its predecessors, it still should be something that moves copies in the long-term. However, there’s no denying that it’s seeing a difficult start.
