Here’s A Sales Comparison Of Super Smash Bros Sales In Japan

Twitter user Oscar Lemaire has put together a graph showing how well the Smash Bros series has done on the formats it’s been released on in Japan via Famitsu numbers. As you can see, the launch week for Super Smash Bros on the Nintendo 3DS was the biggest ever for the franchise. No doubt the Nintendo 3DS version will remain the best-selling until we get a new entry in the future.

    1. How about you all speak English like this site was intended. If I wanted to hear another language, I would have gone to McDonalds for Christ’s sake.

        1. When you move to another country, it should be expected of you to speak the native language, ever since stupid scratchback Mexicans started invading our country, they have been putting annoying spanish text on everything like this is fucking Mexico now. Mexicans who cant speak English should be deported because they are most likely illegal anyway.

          1. Hey Corn.

            America was founded by migrants. Irish, Dutch, British, Italians, French, Germans, Spaniards, Africans, Chinese & Native Americans. They all spoke their own language. English was the main language because of the british influence.

            1. Et c’est nous les français qui vous ont débarrassés des anglais. On vous a même donné la statue de la liberté ! :-)

            2. (Weird fact I just felt like pointing out) German was almost the official language of the US, but English won by… 1 VOTE!!!

          2. “When you move to another country, it should be expected of you to speak the native language”
            ( troll: on) Yes! Like you did with the native Americans ( troll: off)

          3. Ridley 2 Big 4 Smash? More Like 2 Big 4 U Wiiklings 2 Control! Leave Him 2 The Masters!

            I was agreeing with you til you started sounding racist, for lack of a better word.

          4. You fucken idiot, since when is this site or the internet “American?” People like you are the reason why Americans are looked at like a bunch of hick rednecks that only care about deporting immigrants and fucking there own siblings. If anyone on the INTERNET want to speak there own language then they can you piece of shit.

          5. Dont care about any of that but I rather have you people speak the universal language which EVERYONE can understand which is English, but hey thats just one guy’s opinion. *shoulders shrugs*

              1. That seems highly unlikely. Unless China nukes the USA and invades it then it isn’t very probable. For example, many hispanics and other Spanish speakers have entered the USA, but even though their quantity surpasses other minorities, they have only become the second most commonly spoken language.

            1. you do know that not everyone understands english right, its not even the most spoken language at the moment fucking idiot. why dont you get off of your high horse and actually learn another fucking language and stop expecting everyone to speak yours asshole. i bet your the type of person that would go to france or mexico and insist on only fucking speaking english there

          6. You just generalized all hispanics. Puerto Rico is a common wealth of America, they can come and go as they please. Cuban, Colombian, Brazilian, Venezuelan, Argentinian, they all speak different forms of spanish but they all have different cultural backgrounds. Learn something before you spew your hate

          7. man, you just don’t know what you have done. let me tell you one or two things. I live in Europe and I can tell you that how most of the people in Europe see the US citizen. A bunch of ignorant racist who do not know anything about the world around them. You expect people to speak the language I know a lot of US citizens who hate countries they go to for business or holidays because they don’t speak “American”. Finally a friend of mine who is a Mexican born say the same about the US citizen who go and live in Mexico and don’t speak Spanish. It goes both way, man.

        1. The receptionists all speak English. Corn is just being a dumbass. He’s probably just pissed about the other customers because he isn’t bilingual while the modern world is becoming increasingly trilingual.

          1. Nintendo Sub-Lieutenant

            I wouldn’t take us too seriously. And I recommend sticking around awhile longer. You’ll eventually get used to it. There’s a bunch of drama that happens from time to time which make for some epic lawls. That’s why I come here anyway.

      1. Ridley 2 Big 4 Smash? More Like 2 Big 4 U Wiiklings 2 Control! Leave Him 2 The Masters!

        Odd. The McDonalds I’ve gone to have had mostly english speaking black people, and that’s not the sad part. The sad part is a lot of white people where I live apparently think they are too good to work at a fast food restaurant.

      2. I’m from Mexico, and I live in Mexico, I don’t get your point of being racist :P btw, this site isn’t just for americans. Anyway, just wanted to point out that we’re all not the same as the ones you see derping (and living) around the US. Some of us are different ;)

      3. Chill out dude. Just because you’re too stupid to understand foreign languages doesn’t mean the rest of the world should learn yours.

        1. people think you are a nasty person people think i am a nasty person but i am not a nasty person as in miivese people said i was fat when i and you are not fat i am not a troll just so you know i am not a fan of sony or microsoft i am scared about want violent games does to people and they are brainwashing peoples minds?

        2. dont let the trolls ruin my nintendonews for you as they are mostly nintendofanboys who have no lives livein in there moms basement with serios social problems

        3. i have mentel health problems and i dont allways think want i say. i am sorry if i may have said something that was not verry nice to you vote for scotland independents if you want to.

        1. Ridley 2 Big 4 Smash? More Like 2 Big 4 U Wiiklings 2 Control! Leave Him 2 The Masters!

          It’s okay. He was just talking about all of the anons that are spamming up the article. For all we know, they are all the same exact person.

    1. why would it be… Nintendo is now making a profit on both the WiiU and 3DS. their making money again. and have enough money to not go bankrupt for 22 years. their far from giving up. ever.

        1. but its still making money. that alone shows their not giving up on it. the WiiU makes a profit, and as such, their not having any plans of going third party. the PS4 is the only thing making sony money. and thats if you count only the systems and not the games, which are selling bad.

            1. i never said it was. i said ITS THE ONLY THING MAKING SONY MONEY. if anyone has a chance of going third part its sony… all their other divisions are failing, and while the PS4 is soaring in the states, its been doing less the past few weeks with only destiny pushing it past the Wii U now. this holiday season has quite a good amount of games coming to the console, while will sure sale a decent amount. Sony needs to save theirselves, not just the gaming side.

    2. The Smash Bros. on the next Nintendo console will do even better. People will realize that Nintendo doesn’t use media and graphics to sell games, just good gameplay and fun experiences.

  1. The n64 version will always be the best. Only reason the 3DS launchc is high because it’s an overhyped game with a terrible roster……..even worse than Mario kart 8s no, even worse than playstation all stars

    1. opinions opinions. i actually like this roster. when you say the N64 one is the best, your being a fanboy of only that specific game… it was great, but to say its roster wasnt lacking is an understatement. it was only with the main mascots, it was a nintendo commerical in a game.

      1. 1 clone compared to the many clones and semi clones in the later installments. 64’s had great stages and the gameplay was good. Slow but competitive.

        1. Ridley 2 Big 4 Smash? More Like 2 Big 4 U Wiiklings 2 Control! Leave Him 2 The Masters!

          We must be looking at different games then. I’ve only seen around 5-10 clones out of 49/50 characters.

      1. Dr. Mario- garbage! should have been an alt costume.
        Dark Pit- look at Dr. Mario’s.
        Duck Hunt Dog- really? A character from game that has been irrelevant for years. Really?
        Wii fit trainer- come on, really?
        Miis- …………….
        Ganondorf- still a clone? Sakurai sucks.

        King K. Rool deserved it since Melee.
        He is the 2nd most recurring villain in Nintendo history.

        1. The Duck Hunt Dog not being relevant argument isn’t relevant. Game & Watch was not relevant but was added. R.O.B. wasn’t either. Every game has a joke character. Jigglypuff was the joke of 64 even though pokemon was relevant for sure back then, Puff wasn’t on the top of anyones list. K.Rool would be great, but it might be an issue with Rare. Ganon being a clone has always sucked. Wii fit trainer is casual trash, but if that casual trash is in then duck hunt dog is far more deserving for having history besides a few peoples parents playing wii fit twice before locking their wii away. Dark pit should be an alt, and Doc too, however fludd should be gone. Waste of a move, don’t care what anyone says. What use does it have, other than trying to be a cheap edge guarder. Doesn’t even do damage. If it did, I wouldn’t mind really. But to take two seconds to charge it up and push someone back and not hurt is wasteful.

          1. Ridley 2 Big 4 Smash? More Like 2 Big 4 U Wiiklings 2 Control! Leave Him 2 The Masters!

            I highly doubt it’s an issue with Rare. If it was, there is no way in hell the Kremlings would be in Smash Run as enemies.

      2. Ridley 2 Big 4 Smash? More Like 2 Big 4 U Wiiklings 2 Control! Leave Him 2 The Masters!

        I hope you mean the bad part of the Ridley, King K Rool, & Ice Climbers fanbase. Does it suck they aren’t in? Yes. Can I live without them? Yes.

    2. 64/Melee. Both have great things. 64 best throws, Melee best air dodge and introduced charging Smash attacks. 64 Corneria was better than Melee’s version cause it was bigger. The pokemon board and unlocked Mario Board in 64 were great too. I can’t pick a favorite between the two games, I love the feeling of both. I love how attacks feel in 64 when you hit your opponent, it’s very satisfying.

    1. dont be so hateful. yes their doing bad. but they can still save themselves… god i hate eeryone hatin on PS and Nintendo. only state the facts when their attacking.

      1. HATEFUL FUCKING HATFUL DUALSHOCK AND THE INDUSTRY HAS CURSED GAMING THERE IRRELEVENT CORP WITH JO RIGHT TO BE INVOLVED IN GAMING

        THEY NEED TO GO AND BRAINDEAD SONY FANS ARE DELUSIONAL

        FUCKING DIE PLAYSTATION 2.15 BILLION LOSS AFTER LYING IT WOULD BE 500 MILLION SONY IS DEAD PLAYSTATION IS DEAD

  2. I enjoyed Brawl, there was way more to do. The randomness of when you are playing with friends is great.
    So with the Wii U version, I’m expecting a greater time. The characters are crazy and the movesets are customizable. So many combinations.

    1. im hoping for a much improved level creator. being able to create levels similar to subspace that you can share with people and allow them to go though them, with coop enabled.

  3. sony just admitted there dead OPENLY OFFICIALLY DEAD, GOD SAVED GAMING FROM THE DEVIL DIE DUALSHOCK DIE

    ONLY WIIU IS NEXT GEN BRODUDE CULTURE IS OVER ACTIVITIONS LOST 1.5 BILLION ON THE STOCK MARKET ITS OVER GAMING IS SAVED WII DISRUPTION SAVED GAMING SONY ARE DEAD

      1. their games exclucive of them are good, so i agree. but honesty im mainly a PC guy. the PS4 is definitely gonna be my next console tho.

  4. DESTINY SPENT 500 MILLION ON DESTINY AND NOW THERE STOCK HAS DROPPED 1.5 BILLION

    THE INDUSTRY IS DEAD NINTENDO HAS SAVED GAMING SONY FINISHED WITHIN THE YEAR

  5. we all hate packes in this comminity that are a danger to are world that are a global threat they need to be radecated and arrested

  6. “No doubt the Nintendo 3DS version will remain the best-selling until we get a new entry in the future.”

    while i wouldn’t put it beyond smash bros on the 3DS to achieve that it still remains to be seen

  7. Wow! not world of warcraft. just wow, that’s a lot of people playing smash. IDK what to think of the new smash at the moment I think its going to be a mixed bag essentially a lot of things I’ll love and a lot of things I’ll hate. one of which I hate is the whole ice climbers, 3ds holding back the wii u version business. What I love…. CUSTOMIZATIONS! Someone should tell the captain! lol

  8. 2015 NINTENO WILL HAVE WAVE AFTER WAVE OF WIIU EXCLUSIVES AND NEW 3DS AND AMIIBO AS SONY GOES BANKRUPT

    NINTNDO FUSION WILL BE REVOLUTIONARY AND NINTENDO WILL AGAIN RASE TO HEAVEN

    SONY ARE DEAD PS4 IS BACKWARD AND NOTHING MORE THAN A BRAND

    SONY FANS AND BRO DUDES IN GENERAL NEED TO WAKE THE FUK UP

    1. Brawl had its flaws that made some fans dislike it over time. The slower gameplay, the fucking tripping, laggy online, severely limited stage creator and even story mode was kinda okay but not as great as it should’ve been.

      1. Ridley 2 Big 4 Smash? More Like 2 Big 4 U Wiiklings 2 Control! Leave Him 2 The Masters!

        I enjoyed the story mode, but I agree. It could have been better. it should have involved voice acting for the characters that were known to talk in their games at the time. It would have added some nice humor when someone say Fox tries to talk to Link but doesn’t get a single word from him. lol

  9. Um, could someone please translate that spanish for me? :D

    Also, let me set a few things straight:
    a.| The Internet is not a representation of only the USA. (Stop acting like it is.)
    b.| Not all Americans are “fucking there [sic] own siblings” thank you.
    c.| Most Americans are not racist.
    d.| People should be able to speak whatever language they like; however, that said, since this website is primarily english, the spanish speaker should put an effort to translate what they are saying into english BECAUSE the entire purpose of language is so we can communicate, and if you want to communicate on a primarily english website, you should try and speak english if you wish to communicate with us (otherwise, why post?).

    Lastly, not all spanish people who live in America are immigrants stop with the stereotypes and racist comments please. This is a website on Nintendo news people, stop trolling.

    Now, that said . . . I never did good in spanish :D (I wish I did do good in it, though :<) If someone would be kind enough to translate the graph for me, I'd be really appreciative! :D

    1. you are so bad in Spanish that you did not release the graph was in French [LOL just joking :-)]. basically the title of the graph: sell of smash bros series in Japan (from Famitsu). the caption for the blue colour is the sell for week 1 and the 2nd caption for the red colour is for other weeks. Also oscar mention those number does not take into account the digital copies. Hope it’s help
