Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Hyrule Warriors Pushed Japanese Wii U Software Sales to “Four Times” Amount of Last Year, Hardware Selling Wel

http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/08/19/hyrule-warriors-pushed-japanese-wii-u-software-sales-to-four-times-amount-of-last-year-hardware-selling-well/

The Obon Season [a three day Japanese festival made to honor ancestral spirits] saw strong sales over last year. Especially for the released Wii U software title Hyrule Warriors, with hardware sales going very well. The Wii U software division recorded sales nearly four times that of the previous year.

 

Not surprising and well deserved!

Gooooooooooooooo Hyrule Warriors!!



*at Tsutaya.



So if you release more software, people will buy more software?

Nintendo finally found their secret recipe.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Awesome! Sounds like Hyrule Warriors had at least some sort of effect over in Japan, I'm glad.

What? I thought it was about skinning popular games, in this case Musou (i don't get them but there is a huge audience for them) with a nintendo flavor... I wanted Donkey Kong Jungle Warfare FPS... :(

Sadly we will never get the most logical games. It's Nintendo after all.

If anything they do makes sense in some way, it's pure coincidence.
