Nicee! We got to see MK's strong legs and now we get to see SSB's strong legs! This is gonna be fap worthy m8s! Can't wait till I get my copy T_T

Legs legs legs:

>Yokai Watch

>Mario Kart 8

>Yokai Watch 2

>Yoshi's NEW Island

>Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

We'll see if Pokemon OR/AS continues the trend of legs.

Only after reading this did I realize Yoshi has stayed so high. What the hell? Why this one of all games?

I see no reason to doubt Pokemon legs.

Well, I don't see X and Y in the weekly charts anymore, and OR/AS preorders haven't even opened yet, as far as I know.

More importantly, it now has to compete against Yokai Watch 2.


But why? All it has to do is sell around 2mil-2.5mil to be on par with other games. YW2 and Pokemon will be side by side selling high.

X/Y released long before the other games you named except for Yokai Watch 1, which had an extremely slow start, didn't pick up in sales until after X/Y's release, and is clearly coasting on the hype from Yokai Watch 2.

As phenomenal as Yokai Watch 1 & 2's sales are, every 'new generation' Pokemon release (Red/Blue, Gold/Silver, Ruby/Sapphire, Diamond/Pearl, Black/White, X/Y) has, to date, outsold Yokai Watch 1 & 2 combined (in Japan alone of course). That said, we're not looking at a new generation Pokemon release, we're looking at a remake.

It's hard to create a trend for Pokemon remake sales when there have only been two, and when the gen 2 remakes outsold the gen 1 remakes despite the original gen 1 titles greatly outselling the original gen 2 games. But I don't think ORAS will have much trouble competing with Yokai Watch 2.

(Yokai Watch 2 is outpacing FR/LG, but is not keeping up with HG/SS. If we attribute the discrepancy between gen 1 and gen 2 sales vs their remakes to the difference in GBA and DS install base, I think we can expect ORAS sales to be closer to FR/LG, if not somewhere in the middle.)

Interesting that Destiny PS4 pushed more than PS3. Could that mean a noticeable hardware bump?

Super Smash must of had a 100% sell through Day 1. If only Nintendo Shipped 1.2mil copies. Hopefully shipments came in. Amazon is sold out and shipment wont come for over a week. Any info yet on shipment number? Checked Neogaf, 800k Day 1 i believe is a rumor. Digital code cards will be popular for this title. Famitsu superior for the week.


Nintendo only ships whats ordered. The stores sold out because they did not order enough, Nintendo cannot force them to take on more stock than they order.

Then why cant Amazon get any pre-orders intill 22nd? Nintendo didn't make enough copies. Even COMG doesn't make sense (1066 pre orders ~ 1090 sold)

Nintendo produces cartridges based on retailer demand and orders. Even if they had a billion extra cartridges made and ready, they can't magically teleport them to stores. The stores have to order them, ship them, and sort them. Amazon is no different, they just have a warehouse rather than a store front.

Destiny did good, Smash 3ds numbers are expected



DaltonAbbey on 15 September 2014

I wonder what the actual numbers for Destiny will be. Curious to see japanese interest in a game like this
