This week, the highly anticipated game “マリオvs.ドンキーコング” (Mario vs. Donkey Kong) made a big impact in the gaming world with 61,930 units sold, dominating the sales charts. This game is the first in the series in eight years and is a completely new and improved version of the original series.
In its first week of release, “マリオvs.ドンキーコング 2 迷宮メイドメイド” (Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: Maze Maid Maid) sold approximately 8,000 units, surpassing expectations as the game had not been released in recent years. The quality of this game has been praised by both critics and players alike, with some even calling it a masterpiece.
“マリオvs.ドンキーコング” has revolutionized platformer and puzzle-solving games, with gameplay similar to the “Mario” series and “Donkey Kong” RPG games. The series has evolved beyond platformer games, focusing more on puzzle-solving elements, capturing the attention of both players and fans. This latest installment has set a high bar for the series, even hinting at the possibility of creating new sequels directly from this game.
The sales numbers for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 games this week also showed a competitive trend, with a total of 38,212 units sold. Compared to the previous week, both consoles experienced a slight decline in sales, possibly indicating that the post-holiday shopping frenzy has subsided.
