Incredible opening weekend for Air Riders! When accounting for digital, this likely placing the game as having the second biggest launch in the franchise history— I’d imagine digital is much higher now than when Star Allies released. For being such an early gen release, I could definitely see this game cranking out >5mil LTD.

I think it would need the rest of the world to do that, but in Japan it could comfortably crack 1.5m if it legs sustain but we'll have to see

True. Plus, Air Ride was exceptionally popular in JP compared to other Kirby games.
