And even i am moderately surprised
"81 GBA Crayon Shinchan: Arashi no Yobu Cinemaland no Daibouken! Banpresto 2004/4/16 5040 156,395 "

feck me! when did those sales happen!?

I actually enjoyed (and completed) Crayon shinchan - not bad, could have been better, but any game where you can stick your fingers up someones a$$ is fine by me.

Would you say that Crayon shinchan is similar to Bonga Bonga?

It'll be interesting to see how many of those 500k SRW loving PS2 owners pick up ACE next week.

Has a From Soft. game ever sold in huge numbers? This seems like it has the potential to be From's money bank from now on as long as it doesn't turn out badly.

Looking over some charts, their highest selling games seems to be Tenchu 3 at 250k.

I don't think there'll be a new Pokemon on the GBA - I think Emerald was the last. This year's going to be pretty big for Pokemon though. New movie, GC game, DS games and PokePark in Nagoya.

:lol could that top five be any more predictable? I suppose the US isn't much better.

Super Mario Bros. (Famicom Classic series) sold almost 600,000 copies.

So how many copies of Super Mario Bros. is that now total in Japan counting the original Famicom version, the DX GBC version, and the GBA FC version?

Is the original Super Mario Bros. still the best selling game of all time in Japan? These days we're blown away by Halo selling 6.4 million copies, but Super Mario Bros. sold something like 7-8 million copies in Japan *alone* IIRC.

According to MB's chart, Super Mario Bros sold 6.26M on Famicom. They don't have sales from the Famicom Disc System version though (so it's likely under a million) and in Japan the DX Game Boy Color release was NP download only (no dedicated print run) so it's impossible to track unless Nintendo gives out figures themselves). I'd guess 8 million total though isn't impossible.

Didn't know where to put those, but here are NDS softawre ltd sales from Famitsu Cube (up to Jan. 9) :

1. Sawaru Made in Wario 545 204
2. Mario 64 DS 532 530
3. Pokemon Dash 254 418
4. Band Brothers 113 375
5. Feel the magic 82 588
6. Hitofude (one-line puzzle) 73 857
7. Tendo Dokuta 59 548
8. Puyo Puyo fever 44 417
9. Mr Driller 26529
10. Prince of tennis 24550

Pretty good sales, especially for unproven games like Band Brothers, Feel the magic and Hitofude.

Do you have numbers from the FDS version specifically or are they included with the FC total?

Pretty amazing that there's almost 10 million versions of SMB1 in Japanese homes.

I wonder how many copies of Zelda no Densetsu there are in Japan (FDS, FC, BSX remake, GBA FCmini, AF+/e+)? Broshnat?
