Top sellers of the week in Japan: Princess Peach is queen!

by

Like every week via Famitsu, here are the top sales of the week (March 18 to 24, 2024) on Japanese soil (physical sales only).

Princess Peach Showtime physical sales! are the best for a Good Feel game in Japan since Kirby's Epic Yarn (probably tied with it digitally), better than those of the two Yoshi games.

Physical sales of Dragon's Dogma II in Japan were less than a quarter of those of the original game, and half of those of Dark Arisen. This isn't an unexpected result, but fan reception in Japan has been somewhat mixed.
