Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but those "Mario Vs Donkey Kong" sales don't look good. Like at all.

I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

Bit harsh on Krillin. X1 in Japan is closer to Mr. Satan right now.

Yeah, Krillin isn't actually weak, it's just everyone else is just too strong.

Looks to be less than a quarter of the previous lowest first week for the series despite being on two platforms.

Taken from GAF

Famitsu:
GBA : Mario Vs. Donkey Kong ( Nintendo ) { 2004-06-10 } - 54,170 / 180,154
NDS : Mario Vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis ( Nintendo ) { 2007-04-12 } - 83,517 / 306,176
NDS : Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! ( Nintendo ) { 2010-12-02 } - 54,885 / 339,538
[3DS] Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars (Nintendo) {2015.03.19} (¥3.024) - 9.128 / NEW <0-20%>
[WIU] Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars (Nintendo) {2015.03.19} (¥3.024) - 3.331 / NEW <0-20%>

_

Also very low sell through for both versions. Digital probably makes up some ground, but with that 0-20% sell through, this seems to be well under expectations.

Pretty much what I figured. And these are cheap games too (at least here, not sure about Japan).

The numbers for Type-0 are respectable in my opinion. It's a re-release of a title that's three and a half years old for them. The real noteworthy news though is how alive PS4 has become in Japan recently.
