Maybe not a bargain at $249 w/ those 2 games, but much fairer than $299 w/ MK8, which is 2 years old now. I think I had $20 back, so that helped defray the cost. In the 'deluxe' bundle, but they don't even have the 'digital DELUXE promotion' anymore, so you can't make back the 10% on digital purchases, making the $299 price even worse. But they must have made only a few thousand bundles b/c it was back to MK8 real quick. $249 BF and then $279 the rest of the time I thought could help pick up sales a bit and get more people talking about those 2 games. I was actually a bit happy when Nitneod announced the Splat Smash bundle for $279 Black Friday. Well officially, but its my understanding that the EU and UK price things a bit differently than in the US, so Wii U can be had generally less than MSRP over there.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf Happy Price Selection (Nintendo, 03/17/16) – 2,373 (47,974).

Period Cube: Torikago no Amadeus (Idea Factory, 05/19/16) – 3,850 (New).

Homefront: The Revolution (Spike Chunsoft, 05/19/16) – 9,422 (New).

The top 20 is below, with lifetime sales in brackets. Big-hitters in the West such as Doom have had a modest launch in Japan, while My Hero Academia: Battle For All on 3DS could only manage 9th place in its first week. Yo-kai Sangokushi is next for 3DS in 4th, though its sales are in four figures, as they are for all but the top two games.

Kirby: Planet Robobot is still the best-placed game on Nintendo hardware, showing solid momentum in second place and having passed a quarter of a million physical retail sales in the country. The Japanese Media Create chart results are out, and this week isn't short of new releases - notably, however, some titles that are major names in the West have only made a modest impression in Japan.
