Rune Factory 4 Has Sold 200,000 Units In Japan

Marvelous AQL has announced a milestone mark for Rune Factory 4 and has sold 200,000 copies in Japan. The simulation game has also had equal success in North America where it faced numerous stock issues at retailers. But even uttering the name of the title in Europe is quite possibly a sore spot for fans following the game’s cancellation.

However, if you’re lucky enough to own a Japanese 3DS and haven’t yet purchased Rune Factory 4, it’s prime time to do so. With the milestone mark achieved Marvelous AQL are launching a two-week sale for the game, where it will be discounted to half price. Starting April 23 until May 7, Rune Factory 4 will be available to download in the Nintendo eShop for 2,685 yen compared to the usual 5,369 yen. Plus if you are fluent in Japanese, you can check out Marvelous’s video above in celebration of the achievement.

  1. lucky dev. most games dont sell well on the 3ds because nintendo fans/fanboys dont focus them but only typical nintendo games or some third party game that gets popular lucky.

    1. I wouldn’t say so, it’s dependent on the genre. Bring a good platformer or RPG to a Ninty system and it ought to garner some attention. Different fans, for the most part, have different values. Honestly, most Nintendo fans (not sure about the die hard ones) would actively seek out more games on the system. It’s more the “non-fans” I’d say who’d only get a Ninty system solely for one or two first party games (like Pokemon X and Y for example).
