origins was released too

Went through old media create threads and found this: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=37060478

Charted on 43° in it's release week, despite releasing with a very low price. Seems like it isn't in Garaph because no title outside of Raving Rabbids has ever charted in Famitsu Top 30.

So yeah, seems like I was wrong. Still proves my point though lol

HOLY SHIT.
That thing is beautiful. I don't normally get all crazy over boxarts but that is very nice.

 

[ChronoX]

Sweet box art!

 

[test_account]

Great artwork!

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

As mentioned, Origins released for a budget price (2,500 yen) for PS3/PSV/3DS and the only version that charted was the PS3 one at #43 in a week where the #20 game was at 3,254 units sold.

This one is at full price (5,985 yen); I'd expect it to sell about 1-2k first week.

I actually like it more than the Japanese box-art, which is just a level background with character sprites sprinkled over it. Not that it looks bad, cause the game itself looks fantastic, but it just seems lazily done to me.

Was the challenge app released in Japan? If so that alone would probably mean it would give Legends more sales than Origins.

Love the Mario reference.

 

[Diddy Kong]

It looks beautiful!

 

[Foshy]

Love the Mario reference.

...you're right, looks kinda like a NSMB boxart.

Out of curiosity, why is Nintendo publishing it in Japan? Does Ubi eye soft have no business presence (publisher wise) there?

 

[Data West]

Like the NA/EU box art better, honestly. Looks more indicative of the game's art style.

Colors are nice though.

 

[zroid]

Nintendo continues to nail it with pretty much all of their box arts. Only questionable one in recent memory is Nintendo Land.

Wii U Exclusive? Doesn't look like it:

Unless you meant the box.

Says that it's a North American import, so yeah, still exclusive it seems

 

[Conan-san]

Huh, why didn't NOA/NOE think of that?

they do have a bit of a publishing business there but no one ever really buys their games, Nintendo has picked up a few of their games before (just dance definitely and I think zombiu)

Good thing PS3 is region free so those folk can import and not buy a WiiU just for one game.

All 1000 Japanese that want play Rayman Legends
