Seriously? What's so special about this game?

$3.75 million a day. That's what.


Holy shit. So then, is this where the audience of Japan's formerly huge portable gaming market spend their money now? On just this game?


Well that, Monster Hunter and Youkai Watch...

I think that happened because the market thought Nintendo was going mobile...


nope, the game was announced live at a conference. it's because that thing is huge in japan, just like the 3ds.


Didn't know that the 3DS was huge in Japan.

Is it early April Fool's day on VGC today?

PS4's with viruses, and skyrocketing stocks that haven't?

Nintendo's stock went up (this was on Thursday by the way) but it's lower than it was on Monday.

However, note that both of these moves were based on a broad Asia market crash on Tuesday and a broad rebound on Thursday, spurred by global economy news.

Zoom out and that graph means nothing. Their stock rose like 4%. Hardly skyrocketing.

This could be a major gamechanger for the 3DS in japan this year, After GTAV this game probably makes more profits than any other game currently.

So a spin-off game of a mobile game on the 3ds made Nintendo's Stock Skyrocket? What has the world come to

Puzzles & Dragons dwarfs everything. It's the new king of the Japanese gaming market. There is nothing that comes close to it.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
