[Slurpy]

Epic fail for Wii Music. Especially considering its their flagship Wii title for the holidays, and they've been hyping it for years.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Still not over for Wii Music, but I did not expect this kind of drop.

 

[Regulus Tera]

08. [NDS] Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (Konami) 19,000 / 19,000

Order of Ecclesia came out this week? I thought it had been out for quite longer.

 

[jamesinclair]

???

 

[Zeni]

Wii Music disappoints.

But at least Platinum's going to cruise right past Emerald.

 

[jj984jj]

Go Devil Summoner!

 

[MrDaravon]

Weird, I guess Wii Music didn't strike a chord with gamers in Japan.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Miiamoto am cry.

I also didn't know Wii Music was a DS game.

05. [NDS] Wii Music (Nintendo) 38,000 / 129,000

 

[AniHawk]

Ron Paul am laugh

 

[Jonnyram]

04. [NDS] Rhythm Tengoku Gold (Nintendo) 44,000 / 1,051,000
05. [WII] Wii Music (Nintendo) 38,000 / 129,000

This is a rare case of sensibility displayed by Japanese consumers.

 

[PseudoKirby]

damnit I love your avatar


dancing asian girls...

anyway, heres hoping MS is keeping up its lead over the PS3

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Anihawk's avatar am rape

 

[Joe Molotov]

Well, I guess the fad's over. Sell your Blue Oceans! Strap on your third-party boots!

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Looks like Nintendo caught their first major brick with Wii Music

 

[D-Pad]

Wagamama? Can you do that?

 

[HK-47]

Epic fail for Wii Music. Especially considering its their flagship Wii title for the holidays, and they've been hyping it for years.

Are we forgetting AC?

 

[AniHawk]

Looks like Nintendo caught their first major brick with Wii Music

Can't imagine it's doing too well in the States either.

Wii Sports Resort will be pretty big though.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Wii Music is too softcore for Japan?

i guess they needed to include some sort of peripheral or plastic accessory...

 

[perfectchaos007]

Looks like Nintendo caught their first major brick with Wii Music

Looks like only preschool study groups are buying them now.

 

[VerTiGo]

I actually wouldn't count Wii Music out at all. It might just linger for months to come. Casual consumers by software... well... casually. We could see it pull a Brain Age. Also, Japanese software sales seemed to have hit a slump. World economy collapsing.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Wagamama translates directly as "selfish". So I'd go with either Selfish Fashion: Girls Mode or just "Fashion: Girls Mode", which is probably better.

 

[AniHawk]

Wii Music is too softcore for Japan?

What about the disc the game comes on?

World economy collapsing.

Pfft. That's your excuse for everything.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Epic fail for Wii Music. Especially considering its their flagship Wii title for the holidays, and they've been hyping it for years.

That'd be Animal Crossing.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Wonder how high Tengoku can go?

Watch the localized version come out here and sell less than 50k :-(

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Castlevania's numbers are encouraging. It should definitely beat Portrait and Dawn's LTD (I believe they're both around 27k).

 

[Hive]

Well, I guess the fad's over. Sell your Blue Oceans! Strap on your hooker boots!

fixed! ^o^

The noodle is coming!! finally

 

[donny2112]

Looks like Nintendo caught their first major brick with Wii Music

Since it may not reach 1 million, does this mean it is a non-non-game?

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Castlevania's numbers are encouraging. It should definitely beat Portrait and Dawn's LTD (I believe they're both around 27k).

And it should considering it is pure awesomeness contained in a cartridge.

 

[Acosta]

05. [NDS] Wii Music (Nintendo) 38,000 / 129,000

Thanks god.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

It has topped Aria as my favourite Metroidvania. It deserves to do very well. I'm actually pretty worried about NA sales though...

 

[HK-47]

Can't imagine it's doing too well in the States either.

Wii Sports Resort will be pretty big though.

That last sure fire 10 million seller I see is that. Well unless they do Wii Play 2 pack in. Sport has always been the best of the Wii line anyways.

 

[PantherLotus]

Btw, have you read the description for Girl's Mode? You play as a Clothing Boutique owner and you have to use your charisma and what I assume would be called management skills to make money and expand your shop. Sounds compelling, actually.

Like Aerobiz, without the jets.

 

[HK-47]

Its gonna get lost in the crowd. I dont see how it cant.

I'm not categorically opposed to this, but I'd like to see a couple screens when someone has the time~

Damn it, do you want me to buy the game?

It sounds pretty fun.

 

[markatisu]

You guys do realize that even at around 10-15k a week till Christmas and then a slight boost at Christmas (as most games get) would put Wii Music well to 300k or past 500k right if things are really good for the Wii

Hardly a bomb unless we are saying that every Nintendo game must sell upwards of 3-4 million

 

[Hcoregamer00]

In all honestly, I agree.

Dawn of Sorrow sold 250,000+ in the USA
Portrait of Ruin sold less (I don't know the number)

Sadly, this game had less buzz from the general DS userbase than the two previous games. That does not bode well for sales.

 

[VerTiGo]

WTF?! That Girl's Mode game is from Nintendo??!!?!? wHHAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Hive]

Damn it, do you want me to buy the game?

It sounds pretty fun.

oh, i've been meaning to ask: did u ever pick up the 1st Days of Memories for the DS?

I know u got the second one, but i noticed that both are on sale at playasia.com

 

[HK-47]

Holy crap at RHs graph. Linearity is beautiful

 

[kay]

Thread needs more top 5 boxarts.

And maybe next week releases.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Portrait of Ruin sold less (I don't know the number)

No, Portrait did around the same amount as Dawn. Both were very, very successful games for Konami.

But for some reason, I just get the feeling Shanoa is going to get a raw deal. I really hope I'm proved wrong, it's the most fun I've had with an action game in a very long time.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Never did, the second one was good enough

Oh, I had no idea. I thought that it sold less because of the NeoGAF backlash.

I hope Shanoa doesn't get a raw deal because it tells Konami two things.

1. Keep recycling the old games, and forget doing a higher budget metroidvania
2. Female leads don't sell

Its a Wii line title and it had a massive drop. A few more weeks are needed but this isnt looking good. A lot of people were expecting 1 million+ in Japan

 

[Hive]

Never did, the second one was good enough

haha

gotcha~ I hope I can enjoy the first one, too

 

[Tiktaalik]

01. [NDS] Wagamama Fashion Girls Mode (Nintendo) 76,000 / NEW

It'll be pretty interesting to see the second week for this one. I think this game could be really big.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Indeed. The two year dev cycle for OOE definitely made it a better experience...

 

[Grecco]

Did Wii Chess release in Japan?

 

[PantherLotus]

Wait 'till the end of the year before pronouncing this one dead. I definitely think it will be less of a phenomenon than Wii Fit, but let's just watch.
