Forums - Nintendo Discussion - The let´s celebrate that Monster Hunter 3 is a million seller thread!

Well Monster Hunter 3 has today reached the millionmark according to Famitsu and that´s something worth celebrating for Nintendofans! Think about it, it´s the first thirdparty millionseller for a Nintendo homeconsole in Japan since SNES and that´s around 15 years ago!

This news might get overlooked so I just decided to honor MH3 with a thread where all Nintendofans can join in and celebrate. The game proved the doubters wrong since many people actually thought that the game would not reach the millionmark in Japan before it was released. The game has also proved that big, well made and well advertized thirdpartygames can sell great on Wii.

Next up.. Dragon Quest X

The first third party million seller for a Nintendo home console in Japan maybe (?)

Anyway congrats MH3! This game went for me from a "not interested in this type of game" attitude to a "can't wait", around the time Wii Speak was confirmed for the game I think.

How about the numerous Street Fighter games in Japan? Dragon Quest? Final Fantasy?

There are probably over 25 million selling Japan-only games on the SNES alone...

Dragon Quest 3 I think sold like... 3-4 million in Japan....

on the NES.

 

Also did a million on the SNES when re-released.



yeah I was about to say, theres a few games over 1 mil form 3rd parties on the Wii WW... if just Japan, this makes sense.

For the sake of completeness according to this site...

Nintendo third party Million sellers in Japan.

NES: 11
SNES: 19
N64: 0 (unless you count rare as 3rd party)

So it's the 31st third party million seller in Japan for Nintendo on home consoles.
