October is in full swing, and we are literally flooded with new high-profile premieres that keep us glued to our gaming devices. Suffice it to say that the day before yesterday we witnessed the debut of two huge titles in one day – Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder . I am convinced that both productions will be high in sales rankings!
However, we still have to wait a bit for the summaries related to them. Therefore, it is worth taking a look at the latest ones, which cover last week. Of course, like every week, we look at the Land of the Rising Sun, because the trends there are often slightly different than in our area. So, take a look at what sales were like a few days ago :
Game sales in Japan (09/10 – 15/09)
- [NS] Detective Pikachu Returns – 16,248 (total: 101,887)
- [NS] Pikmin 4 – 14,114 (total: 912,398)
- [NS] Jinsei Game for Nintendo Switch – 13,443 (total: 43,710)
- [NS] Rear Sekai – 6464
- [NS] Pokemon Scarlet / Violet – 6,381 (total: 5,157,822)
- [NS] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 6,253 (total: 5,514,955)

- [NS] Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – 4,566 (total: 5,304,914)
- [NS] EA Sports FC 24 – 4,557 (total: 27,046)
As you can see, there were no surprises, and Detective Pikachu Returns probably spent its last week at the top . Nevertheless, it managed to break the mark of 100,000 copies sold, so the creators can have a little celebration. As for other interesting facts, it is worth noting that Pikmin 4 is slowly approaching the million mark and the relatively high sales of EA Sports FC 24 on Nintendo Switch! Japan can surprise!
