Japan charts: Kirby finally gives way to baseball

Here are the best sellers of games and consoles in Japan for the week from April 18 to 24, 2022, established and communicated as always by Famitsu magazine.

After a whole month at the top of the sales ranking in Japan, Kirby and the forgotten world continues its excellent course but leaves its place at the Ebaseball Powerful Pro Baseball 2022 in Konami, which comes to wake up the charts with more than 150,000 copies sold in Launch, without including downloads. Note that the sales of the game on Switch are identical to those of the previous edition released two years ago, however the sales on PS4 are in net decline (54,000 instead of 91,000) and the balance sheet therefore seems to be less good for Konami.

For the rest, the Mignons Yomawari 3 and Pocky & Rocky Reshrined are on Switch with more than 10,000 copies sold for the first and more than 5,000 for the second, while the public seems to get tired of the Neptunia franchise which realizes its Bad starting with this umpteenth spin off. As for the sales of consoles, there is only a small effort at the Switch to exceed the total of Nintendo 3DS sales in Japan, which she has already done for a while worldwide.

5 years later, person 5 is still JRPG BLISS

I wish I had played Persona 5 when he was still a teenager. Or maybe it's the best thing I did not. I love Persona 5 Now for your endearing characters, perfectly balanced combat and the best soundtrack of your class. If I had discovered it when I visited Hot Topic regularly, the patch of the punk band that covered the jacket that I used over my mandatory polo shirt of the school dress code every day, it would have been a seismic event in my life. Now I can see my younger self, thinking about the perfect place to put the Thieves Phantom tattoo that would surely be made someday. I do not know if I could have handled the obsession. As close to what I was Persona 5 At that time it was Final Fantasy Vii , with its history about heterogeneous freedom fighters who fight against a greedy institution that was at the same time corporation and government. But while final fantasy vii is still one of the fiction formative works of my youth, even then, I recognized how distant everything was, s...

Road Competitor is a 1987 gallery game established by Capcom. It is the first competitive combating game produced by the company as well as the first installation in the Road Boxer collection. It was a business success in games and also presented special strikes and several of the conventions made typical in later fighting games, such as the 6 switch controls and making use of command-based unique moves. Street Boxer was guided by Takashi Nishiyama, who developed it by adjusting the employer battles of his earlier beat em up game Kung-Fu Master (1984) for an individually battling game, and by attracting impact from prominent Japanese shōnen manga. A port for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx CD console was launched as Fighting Street in 1988, and also was re-released for the Wii s Virtual Console in 2009. Its follow up, Road Boxer II (1991 ), advanced its gameplay with incredible around the world success. Road Fighter also generated two spiritual followers, Capcom s beat em up Final Battle (wor...

It is a world that is difficult to browse the real game package.

In the console game , it is becoming a world that is difficult to find the real package gradually. Digital sales , which have been increasing from the mid-2010, increasing the market share, now the package is overd. Especially for small games, it is often released without a package, and the latest console has a popular model with a disk insertion device. If you look at the main overseas game performance that focuses on the console game, this part touches the larger. Sony, Nintendo, etc., as well as console platform companies, as well as a major game company digital sales trend, it is clearly revealed that the package age is in the same time. The first place to look at the first place is Sony and Nintegrations, console platform companies. Over the past five years of the company (March 20, 2016), I checked the weight of digital and package in total game software sales data. First, Sony was 27% of the download version at the 2016 game software sales volume, but in 2017, 32% in 2017, ...
