In its third week of release, “Super Mario Bros. Surprise” won the championship with a sales volume of 108,449 units, easily completing its third consecutive championship. The cumulative sales volume has exceeded 900,000 units, and is only one step away from the one million mark. The decline in sales figures has slowed down significantly compared with last week, which may be due to the launch of “Assemble!” which was also launched this week. The special set of “Animal Crossing” style Nintendo Switch Lite has brought a wave of improvements to the console, which is why this game was chosen as the second game to be purchased together.
This time, “Assemble!” The “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” style Nintendo Switch Lite special package is a value-for-money package that includes the complete game, and also makes the main game “Assemble!” “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” showed significant growth in statistics, entering fifth place with 15,933 units sold. According to Nintendo’s press release when it was released, this value set should be positioned close to a permanent product, and it may actually be able to make this game reach the unprecedented 8 million mark in statistics.

This week there are many new games released on the list. The first is the new fashion dressing game “Fashion Dreams” launched by Marvelous Company, which entered the second place with 30,884 units sold. This game was developed by the studio that originally developed the “Self Fashion Lady Style” series of similar games launched by Nintendo. Therefore, it attracted the attention of a small group of players before its release. A brand new game with an outfit theme can sell out in the first week. Selling 30,000 sets is already a very good achievement.
Although it can be seen after the actual release of the game that the gameplay is actually quite different from “Self-Fashionable Lady Style”, it is just that the game’s dressing elements have made considerable progress on the Nintendo Switch platform due to the improvement in console performance. You should be able to look forward to it. The subsequent sales trend of the game can be maintained for a period of time.
Another game of the same type, “Model Debut 3 Nicola”, was released this week, ranking 20th with a sales volume of 3,165 units. Although there is a huge gap when comparing the two, it can be seen from the name that this game is already the third in the series on the Nintendo Switch platform. The series was originally a smaller-scale, small-scale production, and its sales volume is compared with that of the previous game. There is even a small improvement. It seems that the two works may not only not conflict with each other, but also enhance each other.

Next is the new game in the Wario Maker series, “Super Dancing Wario Maker”, which ranked third with sales of 29,584 units. Together with the previous game “Share and Enjoy!” also on the Nintendo Switch platform. Compared with the approximately 72,000 units sold in the first week of “Made by Wario”, it is obviously a very serious decline. It’s just that this collection of party fun games is only about two years apart from the previous one, which seems to be a little shorter. In addition, the timing of its release is also rather awkward. Just before the release of its own masterpiece “Super Mario Bros. Surprise” It was a few weeks later, so it didn’t get a lot of promotional resources. However, similar works have always had a relatively long sales period on Nintendo platforms, and we can look forward to continued progress during the coming holidays.
Finally, there is the remake of the Japanese role-playing masterpiece “Star Ocean Ranger 2: The Second Story R”. The Nintendo Switch version of the game has sold 28,850 units, the PlayStation 5 version of the game has sold 14,367 units, and the PlayStation 4 version of the game has sold 7,360 units. Sales volume ranked fourth, sixth and ninth.
The total of the three versions is about 50,000 units, which is even higher than the approximately 44,000 units of the new series “Star Sea Rangers 6: The Power of God” in the first week. For a remake that cannot be said to be a large-scale production In terms of performance, the performance is really quite good. Of course, a large part of this is due to the lack of a Nintendo Switch version of “Star Sea Rangers 6: Divine Power” due to various factors, which naturally occupies a lot of disadvantages in the current Japanese market environment.

In terms of consoles, the aforementioned “Assemble!” The special set of “Animal Crossing” style Nintendo Switch Lite, as predicted last week, has reached another peak for the Nintendo Switch family, with a total of 93,252 units sold across the three models. It should be affected by the increase in console sales. Most longevity works performed very well this week. It can be said that in the face of the upcoming holiday business war, they have won a wonderful frontline battle, which makes people look forward to the actual Christmas season. Performance during festivals and Chinese New Year.
The PlayStation 5 is still due to the company deliberately lowering its shipments this week. The two models only sold a total of 1,217 units. Not only did it once again lag behind the relatively ordinary Xbox Series X/Xbox, which sold a total of 4,737 units, The S console even lost out to its predecessor, the PlayStation 4, which sold 1,306 units this week. However, since the PlayStation 5 revised console will be released next week, we can of course expect to see an explosion of demand that has been suppressed for a long time. However, when the PlayStation 5 starts to be sold at a new price, the level at which buying momentum can be maintained may be determined. The real test in the Japanese market.
