Mario Kart 7 is Japan’s Best Selling Game of 2011

Posted Jan 17, 2012 at 2:00PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: Dragon Quest, mario kart 7, monster hunter, super mario 3d land, wii sports

Nintendo 3DS titles score the top three slots for 2011 sales.

Japan’s gaming market is very, very different from the one here in the west. Japanese gamers are big fans of portable titles, and they’re not really that into the AAA FPS blockbusters that seem to do so well in the U.S. and in Europe. With that in mind, the 2011 software sales tallies for Japan don’t really come as much of a surprise.

Mario Kart 7 landed firmly in first place, followed by Super Mario 3D Land. In fact, of the top ten games, five were exclusively available on a Nintendo console. The rest of the list belongs to the PlayStation 3, with not one Xbox 360 title breaking into the top ten.

Here’s the full list, courtesy of Edge:

01. Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo, 3DS)

02. Super Mario 3D Land (Nintendo, 3DS)

03. Monster Hunter Tri G (Capcom, 3DS)

04. Final Fantasy Type-0 (Square Enix, PSP)

05. Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Square Enix, PS3)

06. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (Capcom, PSP)

07. Minna No Rhythm Tengoku (Nintendo, Wii)

08. Tales Of Xillia (Namco Bandai, PS3)

09. Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 Professional (DS)

10. Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo, Wii)

What’s really amazing about Mario Kart topping the charts for the year is that the game didn’t hit shelves until December 1. That means that every one of the 1.16 million units sold moved in just a rough 30-day period. Not too shabby there, Nintendo. Also interesting is Final Fantasy XIII-2’s presence on the list, despite the fact that the game opened relatively weak and many news outlets lamented it as a failure.

So what do these numbers tell us about the western market? Nothing at all, of course!

3DS Breaks 4 Million Sold in Japan

Posted Dec 26, 2011 at 3:36PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: mario kart 7, monster hunter 3g, nintendo 3ds, super mario 3d land

The Nintendo 3DS has a strong pre-Christmas week, moving over 500,000 systems.

It’s been a pretty great month for the Nintendo 3DS. Ever since the launch of Monster Hunter 3G, the device has been flying off shelves in Japan. Thanks to the last-minute rush of the holidays, Nintendo managed to snag 510,620 unit sales in just the last week – a 39 percent increase from the previous week.

The Nintendo 3DS outsold the PS Vita by 13%, but it’s not clear what, if anything, that could indicate, considering the relative age disparity of the units and possible availability problems with the Vita. Either way, Nintendo’s once-maligned system is making a strong case for its future.

Mario also had a good week, with fans snapping up over a million copies each of both Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land. There’s no longer any room for argument that the 3DS is a system in trouble – now it’s up to Nintendo to convince investors and get their finances back in the black.

In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait and see how these big Japanese successes ripple through the western market. They could mark a new trend for 3DS sales over here, but they might not.

What do you think?

FFXII-2 Tops Japanese Sales Charts

Posted Dec 22, 2011 at 4:57PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: final fantasy xiii, golden abyss, mario kart 7, monster hunter, super mario 3d land, uncharted

Square Enix’s follow up to the maligned Final Fantasy XIII is off to a strong start in Japan. Duh.

If there’s one thing Japan loves, it’s Final Fantasy. So it’s not entirely surprising that Final Fantasy XIII-2, which launched earlier this week for Japanese gamers, has already rocketed to the top of the sales charts. The game moved 500,000 copies in its first week of release, toppling Monster Hunter 3G from the top of the charts and renewing confidence in the Final Fantasy brand.

Of course, Japanese sales trends aren’t always indicative of western performance (as I said, Monster Hunter was #1 until this happened), but it’s definitely good news for Square Enix that their hardcore fan base wasn’t so upset with FFXIII that they abandoned the brand entirely. The actual sales figure, around 525,000, accounts only for PS3 versions of the game.

Some Vita titles also managed to make the list, a good sign for the fledgling handheld. Here’s the top 20, for those of you that like tracking Japanese game sales:

01. [PS3] Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Square Enix, 12/15): 525,271

02. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3G (Capcom, 12/10): 208,427 (730,386)

03. [3DS] Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo, 12/01): 182,418 (789,871)

04. [3DS] Inazuma Eleven Go (Level-5, 12/15): 135,259

05. [3DS] Super Mario 3D Land (Nintendo, 11/03): 112,533 (837,143)

06. [WII] Kirby Wii (Nintendo, 10/27): 71,028 (398,516)

07. [PSV] Hot Shots Golf 6 (Sony, 12/17): 61,412

08. [PSV] Uncharted Golden Abyss (Sony, 12/17): 48,224

09. [WII] Just Dance Wii (Nintendo, 10/13): 44,021 (323,293)

10. [WII] Poke Park 2 (Pokemon, 11/12): 43,829 (164,018)

11. [WII] Wii Party (Pokemon, 07/08/10): 42,632 (2,129,236)

12. [NDS] Magician's Quest: The Merchant's Store of Sorcery (Konami, 12/10): 35,068 (81,110)

13. [WII] Mario & Sonic at London Olympics (Pokemon, 11/12): 34,351 (64,573)

14. [PS3] Shin Kamaitachi no Yoru (Chunsoft, 12/17): 33,686

15. [PS3] BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend (Arc System Works, 12/17): 32,992

16. [WII] Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo, 11/11/10): 30,804 (734,046)

17. [WII] Taiko Drum Master Wii Ultimate Version (Namco Bandai, 11/23): 30,046 (100,284)

18. [PSV] Dynasty Warriors Next (Tecmo Koei, 12/17): 29,181

19. [PSV] Lord of Apocalypse (Square Enix, 12/17): 28,742

20. [NDS] One Piece Gigant Battle! 2 (Namco Bandai, 11/17): 28,406 (207,458)

Nintendo is clearly the king of the party in Japan, despite the temporary dominance of one game or another. In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait and see how FFXIII-2 is received here in the west. The previous game was the best selling in the history of the franchise, but also landed to lukewarm reviews.

How do you think FFXIII-2 will do when it’s released in the west? Also, don’t you just hate typing “FFXIII-2?”

3DS Ambassador Games Dated

Posted Dec 14, 2011 at 2:48PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: Fire Emblem, mario kart, metroid fusion, nf-zero, super mario advance, the legend of zelda

Remember when Nintendo promised you some free games? Well, they’re officially on the way.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program, here’s some backstory: First, the Nintendo DS was released to the general public for the astounding price of eight million U.S. gold bars. After a couple of months of terrible sales, Nintendo opted to drop the price to a much more agreeable $169.99. And, to help soothe the minds of those that purchase the handheld at the original price point, the company promised to give every early-adopter ten free Game Boy Advance games.

The release of those games was delayed a couple of times while Nintendo got everything figured out, but they’ve officially announced a real-life release date as well as a list of the games to be released. Look for your Ambassador titles on December 16 – if you live in Japan or Europe. There has been no confirmation from Nintendo’s North American branch quite yet, but it’s safe to assume the games will launch on the same day unless we’re told otherwise.

Here are the ten games you can pick up on Friday:

• F-Zero

• Super Mario Advance 3

• The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

• Fire Emblem Seima no Kouseki

• Kirby & the Amazing Mirror

• Mario Kart Advance

• Mario vs. Donkey Kong

• Metroid Fusion

• Wario Land Advance

• Made in Wario

Pretty good titles, if you ask me. They could have given us ten terrible games, but instead seem to have dropped a “greatest hits” GBA list. Nice work, Nintendo.

Are you in the Ambassador program? Was it worth the extra cash?

Nintendo Had a Good Week

Posted Nov 29, 2011 at 3:21PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: Black Friday, mario kart 7, Nintendo, skyward sword, super mario 3d land, the legend of zelda

The games company and console maker reports huge numbers from the Black Friday sales rush.

Nintendo hasn’t been doing so great as of late, but most people figured they’d see a pretty nice boost once the holiday season rolled around. Well, the holiday season is here, and so is the predicted Nintendo boost. The company boasted astonishing sales numbers for the Thanksgiving weekend, fueled by Black Friday sales and the recent releases of two very good games.

Nintendo is reporting that since the launch of both games, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has sold over 535,000 copies and Super Mario 3D Land has sold 500,000, both with big surges during the holiday week. The Wii also saw the best Black Friday numbers since its release, with buyers purchasing an astonishing 500,000 units. I’d love to see how Microsoft and Sony did – I’m sure they crushed as well.

Perhaps the most important data for Nintendo, however, is the increased sales of its 3DS handheld unit. Sales of the device tripled in the last week, going up by 325%. The 3DS has now officially sold more units than the original DS managed to snag in its first year of release. Whatever Nintendo needed to happen with the 3DS, it looks like it’s finally happening. The 3DS will likely continue to sell well, with Mario Kart 7 on the horizon.

We’ll just have to wait and see how Nintendo carries this momentum into the holiday season. The Wii has always been a big Christmas buy, and the 3DS is fresh enough to be on some holiday wish lists.

What’s on your holiday wish list? Do you want a Wii, a 3DS, or something else entirely?

More 3DS Games Coming to eShop

Posted Nov 24, 2011 at 3:21PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: 3ds games, mario kart 7, metroid ii

What, like you’re actually going to spend time with your family this week?

A couple of interesting updates are headed to the Nintendo eShop over the next few weeks. As of the 24th, you’ll be able to download Metroid II: Return of Samus directly to your Nintendo 3DS, Pushmo is scheduled for December and Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword is aimed at January.

The new releases are likely intended to cement the 3DS as a system worth owning, although Pushmo and Sakura Samurai are pretty obscure titles. That being said, Metroid II was one of the best games that ever showed up on the original GameBoy, and it’s certainly worth a look.

Nintendo is making an effort to bring more content to the Nintendo 3DS in the hopes of making it more desirable - the primary complaint with the device (besides the lack of a second analog stick) is that there simply aren’t enough good games currently available.

While most 3DS owners would probably prefer to see some new games released, ports of old classics will just have to do for now – Mario Kart 7 is the last big release of the year.

Is Metroid II enough to sell you a 3DS? I doubt it.

Nintendo 3DS Hits 1.65 Million Sold

Posted Nov 12, 2011 at 3:36PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: mario kart 7, nintendo 3ds, skyward sword, super mario 3d land

Though gamers and industry analysts have expressed concerns over the 3DS’s marketability, the handheld is finally making headway after a rocky start.

If you’re one of the people that though the Nintendo 3DS was destined to be a disaster, it looks like you’ll have to put your “Up Yours, Nintendo” shirt away - at least for the next few months. The company has reported that the Nintendo 3DS has moved 1.65 million units in the U.S. since its launch earlier this year, after a much-needed price drop helped to boost sales.

Nintendo is hoping that the 3DS will outstrip sales for its previous handheld, the Nintendo DS, which sold 2.37 million units in its first 12 months. With the holiday season pending, it’s possible they will actually meet this goal.

Another thing fueling the increased demand for the 3DS? Games. Though remakes like Ocarina of Time and StarFox 64 have helped to secure the 3DS a place in the hearts of passionate gamers and early adopters, upcoming titles like Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 are sure to move a few more units. Despite the new titles, Nintendo still has a serious software problem; those two games and Skyward Sword are pretty much all they have going on for the remainder of the year.

It seems like every time Nintendo releases a new console, people argue about whether or not it’s a good idea. The original DS didn’t get much love, if I recall correctly, until the Lite version surfaced, and the now-hilarious quotes from Sony regarding the Wii’s viability should be etched on the back of every PS Move controller shipped. But Nintendo always manages to find a way to make it work (except, you know, that one time) and it looks like the 3DS is here to stay.

Do you have a 3DS? Would you consider buying one based on these new titles?

PoV: Mario Kart 7s 3DS Wheel is Not a Good Idea

Posted Nov 2, 2011 at 3:04PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: 3ds wheel, mario kart wii

Nintendo is releasing a special wheel accessory for Mario Kart 7, but does it really make any sense?

Mario Kart Wii came boxed with a plastic wheel you could connect to your Wiimote for a more “realistic” driving experience. In other words, you could tilt the controller to steer instead of tapping the analog stick in one direction or the other. The wheel proved to be imprecise and I don’t know a single person that prefers it over the Wiimote, unless it’s as a rule for some obscure drinking game.

Nintendo’s wheel accessory makes sense in terms of fun and I’m sure there are plenty of people that enjoy using it, but for players serious about performance it’s never going to replace the analog stick. It’s just too sloppy for consistent performance. It looks like Mario Kart 7 will be no different, with Nintendo offering a wheel attachment for the Nintendo 3DS.

There are a few things that don’t add up here. Number one, anyone who’s played a 3DS knows that moving the screen even a little completely disrupts the 3D experience (and in my case, makes me want to hurl). Number two, even if you turn the 3D off, you’re still moving the screen all over the place when you steer. It works for Mario Kart Wii because you’re tiling a controller, not your television – with the 3DS you’ll have to tilt your head along with the wheel.

Nintendo is testing the wheel release in Japan, and I suspect they may try and drop it in North America as well. The question is, how many people want to tilt their 3DS all over the place just to get through a race? My guess is very few.

Do you think adding a wheel accessory to a handheld device can work?

Nintendo Losses Even Worse than Expected

Posted Oct 27, 2011 at 2:59PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: mario kart 7, nintendo losses, skyward sword

A tough global economy, falling console sales and a less-than-stellar start for the 3DS lead Nintendo to post its first annual loss since 1981.

Industry analysts have long predicted that Nintendo was going to post some sort of negative financial report in the next few weeks, but it looks like the actual results are even grimmer than experts expected. Over the last six months, Nintendo’s sales revenue has experienced a 40.6 percent decline, or roughly ¥147.4 billion.

The company’s net loss, which landed about ¥2.01 billion in 2010, has rocketed to a staggering ¥70.3 billion, most of which came in the last measured quarter. This sudden boost in losses is likely fueled by the lowered cost of the 3DS, which Nintendo is essentially selling for less than it costs to produce.

Most other costs associated with the brand have stayed steady, indicating that falling sales are the primary factor in the major financial trouble the company is currently experiencing. Revenue in the United States has dropped by around ¥85.9 billion, which amounts to around 58 percent of the total drop in income. Nintendo’s game offerings have certainly been slim in the last few months; gamers would be more likely to purchase Nintendo titles if they had some from which to choose.

On the plus side, the Nintendo 3DS is finally gaining some traction, with a large rush in purchases after the big price drop. 3DS sales are up to a lifetime 6.68 million, compared to the 6.65 million units the original Nintendo DS sold in its first seven months of launch.

As for the future of Nintendo, they’re going to need to come up with a better way to sell 3DS handhelds (namely, games) and to hit a home run with the Wii U or they could be in serious trouble. They’re naturally hoping for a holiday rush on 3DS systems as well as big title games like Skyward Sword and Mario Kart 7, but it’s unclear if this rush will be enough to push them back into safe territory.

Nintendo 3DS Online Presentation this Friday

Posted Oct 19, 2011 at 3:00PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: Satoru Iwata

Nintendo plans a live, online presentation to talk to fans about the future of their 3D handheld system.

The Nintendo 3DS got off to a rocky start, with far less demand from players than the company expected. After a pretty big price drop (and a few good title releases), the console finally started to get a little traction from the industry – but not much. The 3DS still sits on the edge of failure, with the upcoming holiday season likely deciding the fate of the system.

Hoping to build buzz for the system and address player concerns, Nintendo has scheduled a live online presentation for Friday, October 21st. It will occur at 8pm Japan time – 12-14 hours ahead of North America, depending on your time zone (7am Eastern time).

Satoru Iwata, the president of Nintendo, is currently slated to host the event and viewers can expect to learn about the new 3DS firmware. Also on the table is the upcoming Mario Kart 7, though it’s unclear exactly what will or won’t be discussed. While you can certainly watch clips from the presentation later in the day (while you’re pretending to work), if you want to stream it live you’ll be able to pick it up on Ustream and Nico Nico Live.

The new 3DS firmware update is supposed to feature an updated version of the handheld’s Mii Plaza function in addition to giving gamers access to the 3DS’s 3D camera so they can make their own 3D videos. There will also be some minor tweaks and fixes to the system, but nothing major as the 3DS hasn’t really suffered from hacks and exploits. As always, think twice before upgrading your system if you use a flash card or homebrew software – you never know when it might get patched up.

It’s currently scheduled for November, but we may get an official date this Friday.

Are you still on the fence about the 3DS, or are you ready to take the 3D plunge?

New Super Mario Bros Black Wii Bundle Announced

Posted Oct 11, 2011 at 4:37PM EST by Listed in: Wii Tags: new super mario bros wii, Nintendo, wii bundles

Nintendo preps for the holiday season by unveiling its newest Wii bundle, but will backwards compatibility issues cause problems for Nintendo devotees?

There’s a new Wii bundle on the block as of October 23rd, according to Nintendo. It looks like Mario Kart is finally on its way out, and stepping in to replace it is New Super Mario Bros Wii, that very fun multiplayer platformer that helps you quickly determine how much you actually like your friends.

The bundle includes the game, one Wiimote with Motion Plus, one black Wii console as well as the soundtrack to Super Mario Galaxy. This new bundle is priced at the now-familiar $149.99, and should see fair success heading into the holiday season. Unlike other Wiis, the new console is designed to sit horizontally rather than vertically.

Another strange change is the decision to remove backwards compatibility with GameCube games and devices. The new Wii console will no longer play your favorite GameCube games, and you won’t be able to hook your GameCube controllers to the device – a real miss, if you ask me. I use my GameCube controller on my Wii all the time; I like it much better than the Classic and I think there are plenty of gamers that agree with me.

Regardless, look for the new Wii bundle this fall. And if you haven’t player New Super Mario Bros Wii with a friend, you should probably get on that. It’s great fun, but also an exercise in sheer patience.

How do you feel about the loss of backwards compatibility in this new Wii console?

Nintendo continues its trend of multicolored handheld devices by announcing two new colors for the 3DS. Can this update bring new customers to the platform?

The Nintendo 3DS has experienced its fair share of issues since launch. Customers don’t seem to be in any hurry to purchase it, and the lack of demand has already caused Nintendo to drop the price substantially in the hopes of finding more players. Even hardcore Nintendo fans like myself have lamented the overall lack of titles and the sore eyes that accompany long-term 3D play.

Nintendo doesn’t seem to be dissuaded by these minor setbacks and instead has announced two new color additions to the 3DS line-up. Japanese consumers will be able to choose between “Misty Pink,” available on October 20th, and “Ice White,” available on November 3rd. This brings the total number of 3DS color variants to five: Ice White, Misty Pink, Aqua Blue, Cosmos Black and Red Flame.

As of right now, there is no confirmed release date for the color variants here in the States, but it’s safe to assume we’ll be seeing them soon enough.

While new color configurations are certainly one way to pull in new buyers, they don’t really solve any of the primary problems gamers currently experience with the 3DS. The drop in price is certainly agreeable to consumer wallets, but without a killer game, it’s unlikely that new color variants will bring too many more gamers into the 3DS fold.

The 3DS release schedule for the holiday season looks strong through, with “Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns,” “Super Mario 3D Land” and “Mario Kart 7” all set to hit shelves in the next couple of months.

Are you tempted to buy a 3DS when new colors arrive, or are you waiting until better games come along?
