This weeks Media Create software sales are in from Japan and they show once again that Nintendo is clearly a dominant force to be reckoned with. There’s a staggering eight games for Nintendo platforms in the all-format top ten with the superb Mario Kart 7 and Monster Hunter Tri G taking the top two positions respectively.
01./01. [3DS] Mario Kart 7
02./04. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3G
03./02. [PS3] Warriors Orochi 2
04./03. [3DS] Super Mario 3D Land
05./05. [PS3] Final Fantasy XIII-2
06./09. [3DS] Inazuma Eleven Go: Shine / Dark
07./07. [WII] Just Dance Wii
08./06. [WII] Kirby’s Return to Dream Land
09./11. [WII] Wii Party
10./08. [3DS] SD Gundam G Generation 3D
Just got done with Super Mario 3D Land. One of my favorite Mario games of all-time.
hell yeah
Hehe. Just finished the bonus level (golden flagpoleone) with Luigi. Did Mario a few days ago. Really awesome game. Just like the rest of this top10.
Lol @ Wii Party
Thanks for spoiling, bastards.
Not really a spoiler since the hardest level is always last in all Mario games. SMG2 FTW!
HI TO FINALLY KNOW HOW I LOOK PLEASE JOIN MY MARIO KART 7 ROOM 10-4539-5254-7404 TO VIEW MII
Got 4 stars just one more and im DONE
Seems legit :3
Im surprised how despite the love of Mh3 in japan, MK7 is winning
not that i disagree cause i love it :)
but im still confused as to why skyward sword hasnt been in even one of these?
LoZ is not popular in Japan.
No love for Skyward? It is a sad day indeed.
yup sure is
I just finished Skyward Sword.
As a fanatic of OOT, I can still safely say that Skyward Sword uses all the components that make Zelda great, and makes it better.
Hat Tricks to Zelda Games across the franchise, and the best fucking Zelda Game to date.
Fantastic Story Tie-Together, and epic final Boss fights. (see, no spoilers)
Seriously, maybe not a title for “everyone”, this not moving enough software to place it in the top 10, but truely epic for any Zelda fan.
Onward to Hero Mode!
I find it funny how NONE of the Vita launch games are in the top ten…
I’m not surprised, the thing only sold 42000 that week
I don’t i was really hoping that sony would actually put a little fear in nintendo’s heart, the tougher the competition the better games we end up with.
To say the least. No Vita game reached top 30 (!) during launch week, as far as I remember.
Skyward is the most overrated Zelda game in history.
Story wise I will agree
Bullshit! The Story was great!
Oh well, to each his own. :D
There is a 100% chance that Ocarina of Time is the most over rated Zelda game of all time. References in popular culture depict such evidence including Robot Chicken and South Park’s Imagination Land. What was Ganondorf’s look in that episode based off of? I am sure you can easily tell Master.
When I want your Advice, I’ll press ‘down’ on the D-Pad. XD
I gave bought and played every rendition of OOT, and love it, but SS is the new bar set for the Zelda Series!
*sigh* “have bought”
I haven’t seen any outlandish praises for Skyward Sword, but where I live, Call Of Duty is, “The best game ever and Nintendo is for little kids”
I have to agree
It is terribly overrated, how IGN can say it is better than OoT is just outlandish. That’s not to say it’s a bad game though.
Dude, it’s an opinion. Calm down. Also, I think it’s ten times better than OoT. It improved the amazing formula OoT had.
Thank you!! I totally Agree.
IGN made polls so why blame them for the result?
I hate old gamers, Most of the time in denial and their opinions always clouded by nostalgia factors. OoT is also overrated. Both games are excellent but in the end SS >> OoT.
exactly… I’m 28… I love ocarina of time to death but take the Nostagia goggles off and look at games in their most basic definition… as a “GAME” Skyward sword is indeed a better game
I agree, but it is still a great game, but not the one it was hyped up to be.
yeah…. No.
When you look up the word dominate in the dictionary, there is just a picture of the Nintendo logo.
And when you look up the phrase “most epic fail of all time” there’s just a picture of-
YOU >:D
*Rages furiously*
Nice one. I haven’t that big since the last time I tried to has a conversation with a woman. That fail was bigger than Kat Dennings’ tits.
Damn it Smartphone!
What I meant to say was “I haven’t seen a fail that big since the last time I tried to has a conversation with a woman. That fail was bigger than Kat Dennings’ tits.”
I guess the fails are on some sort of spree…
That was the point. I think.
“tried to *have*”… just sayin’…
I was full of fail on that post. Shows me not to rush a post on my smartphone.
Monster Hunter most probably passed 1 million units this week. Nice to see this early. Also nice to see Kirby back up there.
I hate when people say tht ” if u pick xbox or ps3 ur cool but if u pick wii or ds ur a little kid ” when did videogames turned tht way
Sadly, it tracks back even to the Mario vs Sonic years…
The fun part is though that Nintendo always win eventually, and the fanboys using such claims are always the most immature.
The demographic for Nintendo products is little kids. Why do you think they are trying so hard for 3rd party support on the wii U? They’re trying to dip into the audience that 360 and ps3 have. Just like 360 and ps3 are trying to dip into nintendos audience.
They are trying to catch the “hardcore” audience, are you saying everybody is hardcore except “little kids”? The casual market is huge and spreads through all ages.
It’s rated “E” for everyone, not “K” for kids.
Exactly , I’m 17 going 18 in october I prefer such games as Zelda, Mario. And tbh like many. Of us I HATE cod and games like that, i can say with pride I am a casual gamer.
fuck japan where the fuck is my battlefield call of duty battalionwars ect i dont care about what japan has all i care about is what EA activition thq ubisoft are gana do for wii 3ds and wii u thats all
Fuck you.
Its his opinion you fucking little dick swamp ass smelling tiny brain moron.
sir there is not supposed to be nutsack in your mouth
He said “fuck Japan” (awesome country btw), how the hell is that an opinion?
Maybe he said that as an advice, as in “invade iraq”. By that logic your comment is an opinion too, and everyone is happy in opinion land.
and you call yourself 3DS fanboy
I sense a 95% chance that this blind idiot is a troll. I’d add a troll detector in your dowsing list, but you are too smart for that sort of use.
fi? FI? I HATE FI, SHE IS THE MOST USELESS “ASSISTANT” OF LINK THAT EVER EXISTED E.G: you walk into a lava filled room “master, this room has too much heat” I KNOW THAT
Bitch fuck you and GTFO how dare you talk about japan >:l
What’s Wii party doing there?
What are you doing here?
Not particularly surprising (Mario Kart, Mario 3D Land and likely Kirby have been in that list for weeks now), but good news regardless.
That’s great for Japan. I wish the same could be said about the top 10 in America, where the charts are dominated by cookie cutter FPS games.
American top 10:
1. X360 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
271,885
2. X360 Kinect Adventures!
264,911
3. Wii Just Dance 3
256,785
4. 3DS Super Mario 3D Land
173,964
5. PC Star Wars: The Old Republic
166,968
6. PS3 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
163,886
7. 3DS Mario Kart 7
139,697
8. X360 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
112,523
9. X360 Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
110,941
10. X360 NBA 2K12
107,277
It’s not as bad as you think. Still bad enough though.
Hey thanks for posting that! It’s interesting to see 5 Xbox 360 games in the top 10, whereas Nintendo only has 3 in the top 10.
I’ve always felt that (and this top 10 list only proves it) Nintendo focuses on the Japanese market and not enough on the western, North American market, which is bigger than the Japanese market as far as sales are concerned. I hope Nintendo truly, seriously reaches out to third party western developers for the Wii U and 3DS if Nintendo plans to relevant in the west, not to mention cater to the core gamers.
I agree completely. The softwares also reflect the US hardware where X360 is outselling Wii constantly. Luckily, the Wii U looks promising so far! :)
and a freaking waste of life terrible kinect game that makes you want to kill yourself

Dude, you’re amazing! Thanks for the info, it’s awesome to see Nintendo dominating the Japanese sales charts! 13 out of 15 is phenomenal!
I hope Japanese third parties are paying attention!
Thanks man. What amazes me the most is the colossal Wii support this week. I mean, last year the PS3 outsold the Wii EVERY week hardware-wise, this might finally change back now! (unless they have a shit ton of big software releases, like the Wii actually have).
