So lovely, no Xbot games…
STFU gtfo
Go and sniff some outdated algae Nosetalgae_doublewuss…
I wish you and iwata died in real life. Literally. I can’t wait till that sad excuse of a president dies. Hopefully it’s before the next gen of gaming!! :/
And I can’t wait until I have your corpse as my specimen for further Nintendofication…
LOL All of those Knack sales were from bundles.
Haha true…
Still impressive numbers and knack has sold more than tropical freeze sony domination
Lmao.
Don’t even get me started on the countless of Knack Knack jokes…
Stop trying to be awesome by being stupid, its a disgrace of your worthless comments. If you didn’t want to be human about the matter, then maybe you should have ended up like these fools and not be called a human being.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdX4RHbjLfI
Want to end up like them? No? then quit wishing for harmful things you can’t understand.
There is nothing wrong about wishing death upon bad people!
Nostalgia_w:
There is nothing wrong with racism, homophobes/haters, killing innocent people, enjoying misery etc etc…
But there is something right in you commiting suicide though, just an advice…
That is 100% correct. Same to you and all the women and children in your family.
We can’t die, we are death themselves…
Once you die, I’ll have a special spot just for you…
Shove it, mother fucker face fuck.
Love it, Swing it, shake it, face it otter lucker haze duck…
It seems as though you have gained a couple extra chromosomes.
Better than you losing the few neurons you had left…
If I only had a few neurons, then how am I big enough to use technology? EXPOSED go back to sucking the cancer and chromosomes out of iwatas dick.
Exposed for getting butthurt with each comment you type…
Exposed…
EXPOSED for EXPOSING yourself.
Exposed for running out of arguments that didn’t have any substance to begin with either…
Exposed…
The pair of you are disgusting
And what are we arguing? EXPOSED for being a face fuck.
I just needed some entertainment while I ate but now I’m done eating and I’ll return to do more important matters…
Exposed for getting owned…
Trust me, skid. That brainless, disgusting, dummy is the rat. He should go lynch himself and his little sister.
Yes it is…lets put it this way.
I HATE YOU, WISH YOU DIE NOSTALGIA_W. Wish you was never born asswhole! Your mama should have put you in a dumpster. You should have been left to rot in there.
Feel good yet? Should I continue?
OHHHHhhhh, but there is no harm for wishing of bad people to be dead…right? Iwata, bad? No, fact is…he must be doing something right to keep on making more money and be re elected as president of Nintendo. Bad people is what you are doing and saying…bad people is what I showed you in the video, BAD PEOPLE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF GOING TO HELL AND BURN FOR ALL ETERNITY WHICH IF YOUR NOT CAREFUL FOR WHAT YOU DO AND SAY WILL END UP THERE!!!
Think about what you said…and if you continue to keep saying what you say then there is no hope for you to save what you got left as a human being.
._.
Sorry hollow, but he needs a lesson taught to him.
This kind of trolling is horrible. This makes you even more of a worthless piece of shit to wish such things just to piss people off just because you find it entertaining. Enjoy rotting in hell if it exists.
How is that an insightful thought or opinion in anyway? You fucking slut, always looking for attention.
Nobody deserves to die, except maybe you piece of shit.
Yo isn’t there a way to ban IPs from your site, Sickr ? Some people are just disgusting to read.
Struck a nerve? Good.
This is a nintendo website.. I vote the xbox troll leaves
IKR? Its glorious that the Xbox poison isn’t working in Japan. ^_^
If it ever does, RIP gaming for all eternity…
Needs yokai, atk on titan, harvestmoon, she also wants to get into monster hunter.:/
Xbox 360 has been long dead in Japan lol Microsoft doesn’t care about them only Sony and Nintendo care about Japan gamers
Ah the classic “attack attack attack other companies other than nintendo” fanboy move.
Xbox is dog shit
Why?
DRM, paywall, paying for free online AND has the same exact PC games except PC has superiority in visuals and free online play with minimum BS attached. There is no other reason for..Xbox to exist.
First off, Xbox has just as much DRM as PS. Second, the 360 has always had a more reliable online service since you pay for it. That’s the tradeoff and also they removed much of the paywall recently. Besides the PS4 is pay for online play now. If a game is on PC AND Xbox then it probably is on PS as well so that comment made no sense.
Xbox has been a joke since 360 launched and now xb1 is flopping hard. Its great
Oh really? How many Wiius were sold this time last year? If the one is flopping then the wiiu must be falling down a flight of stairs. Also, you fanboys cry when an article is posted about something non nintendo. Yet you all comment about how much you hate the xbox, lol hypocritical fools. EXPOSED
Why so butthurt?
To be fair, the Xbox division deserves all the hate it can get after they tried to fuck its consumers in the ass with the Xbox One.
Finally someone who gets it…
Xbox is dog shit
1.5 Million so far thanks to MK8…
Vita? That joke is doing even worse and Ouya, $99 console for lower class citizens, is kicking Xbox One’s ass which is saying something. So who’s failing again?
Still using that to damage control for your precious Xbone? >.< Go cry to sasori since he's the only one that's going to agree with that excuse.
Only 3 PS4 games in this list?
Smashing
And Yokai Watch 2 blew all this out of the water in 1 week…
maybe I should try watching the anime …
Agreed
WTF
Cool.
No point in owning a xb1 ps4 will have the same games and xb1 is weak next to a ps4 xb1 is dog shit
what about bringing it to eu?… or a wiiu version??? its time to stop dicking around level5..
MK8 still proving the haters wrong yet again.
While this knockoff still can’t nail my charisma right to act like me. XD

There, now create it, shoo shoo…
Damn. 3DS is GOD in Japan and Wii U is now moving up in the world while Sony needs to pull its weight and deliver some games soon also reviving Vita which I doubt would make any difference at this point. And how wonderful that I don’t see any BS Xbox brand of anything on the list. ^_^ Now this is the region that knows true gaming..except going full out on mobile. XP
And eww…that POS Knack is on the top ten spot? XC I guess the Japanese have nothing good to play on PS4 so this is their last resort. How sad.
I don’t see why we’re bashing Knack here. It may not be an amazing game, but I’d still give it a 6-7/10. It was a decently fun platformer from the looks of it. (Never played it)
Most seem to think it’s because Knack was a pack in game for the PS4 in Japan, hence it’s sales.
Mm
.
Kirby Triple Deluxe! I love that game. And the music is amazing! ^_^
As long as the Shonen Jump game stays in the list I’m all set. That game is phenomenal and one of the best video games of all time. I’d rank it right up there with Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Super Smash Bros
Nintendo is dominating this list so far. I can hear Shuhei & sasori now. “Oh this doesn’t matter! Japan is a minor country so this means nothing!! Hahahahahaha!!!” Poor Sony fanboy & Microsoft fanboy. So delusional.
DON’T FEED THE TROLLS.
Says the troll…
I am no troll.
You said you had a troll account…
Exposed!
*wink*
You still don’t know what name I go under sooo…
I’ll know it soon enough…
I’m actually getting bored with it. Might just start doing it on this account. :D
You’re slowly but surely turning into a Sonyan as they are the ones that trolls all sites…
In what way am I turning into a Sonyan? :V
Because you already troll and want to troll even more…
…
You’re Shuhei Yoshida, aren’t you!? Admit it, you Sonyan! D:< lol
Actually no. I think the first time I met him was when I was defending Nintendo. That guy is hard to take down. Lol.
But they got to eat somehow. xD I’m just being nice & keeping them from dying of starvation.
