If it follows the path of games like Let's Make a Pro Baseball Team! and Glory of Herakles, though, it's likely to drop soon. As for hardware, the DS is getting comfortable in third place behind the PSP and Wii:įront Mission 2089: Border of Madness is another game that premiered last week, taking twelfth in the charts. Only twelve titles ended up in the top thirty, which is low for Nintendo's handheld. Two DS games debuted in the top ten this week ( Endless Frontier: Super Robot Wars OG Saga and the cutesy spatial puzzler Empty Space Training), but otherwise, DS software had a relatively lackluster performance. They're listed after the break.Ĭontinue reading Another Week in Japan: Hardware and software numbers 6/2-6/8

Glory of Herakles and Let's Make a Pro Baseball Team! have even fallen out of the top thirty completely.Ĭheck out all the software numbers and rankings for yourself, should you feel so inclined. Front Mission 2089 and Endless Frontier: Super Robot Wars OG Saga are already showing a lack of legs, since both of the games dropped considerably from the previous week. Detective game Misa Yamamura Suspense premiered in fifth, and Beautiful Letter Training continues to sell incredibly well for a nongame about calligraphy, but otherwise sales were a disappointment. The rest of DS software didn't do so hot, either. We guess Japanese gamers just didn't feel like being bummed out, and therefore avoided buying this original title.

We're crying for Namco Bandai's Tears of 99 right now, as the game debuted in the twenty-third spot this week.
