How does this compare to Phantom Hourglass? Seems like the game has been doing pretty well outside of the top 10.
I know that it has passed Twilight Princess, but am I right in thinking that it has now passed Phantom Hourglass as well?

Out of curiosity, did some GBA games get a boost in sales when the DS was launched (since the DS has/had GBA backwards compability)?Captain Smoker

Ah, actually I want to seperate R/B/G and Yellow, but I'm always too lazy. xDdonny2112 said:Since you're combining SKUs and R/B/G already is combined with Yellow, can you go ahead and add in Crystal to Gold/Silver (7,960,810), Emerald to Ruby/Sapphire (7,504,384), and Platinum to Diamond/Pearl (8,325,544)?
Thanks.
One question: What's the difference between the Final Fantasy International - versions and the standard-games?

Oh, never mind. Guess my memory is just fuzzy.
I don't suppose that you have the sales of the other Zelda games as well? Would be nice to see how they all compare.
but it was way better than PH :\ , music instrument stuff sucked more than any other Zelda game but dungeon design was awesome. I love WW style Zelda so much, I hope this is not the end of itduckroll said:Not really a shame. Maybe if they developed a better game it would sell better.
. also soundtrack was great.BladeoftheImmortal

I'd love to see a Wind Waker 2 on 3DS but I'm not sure if it'll happen. I wonder how most people think about the Zelda series these days, has Nintendo actually hurt the brand with titles like Phantom Hourglass and Link's Crossbow Training and no new console Zelda for 4 years?miladesn said:but it was way better than PH :\ , music instrument stuff sucked more than any other Zelda game but dungeon design was awesome.

Spirit Tracks was quite good but had some problems like huge framedrops in the fields and the bad detection of notes when you played Music that you just don't expect from a Nintendo game like that. It was also the shortest Zelda I think.
Instead of the absolutely unnecessary Ocarina of time remake for 3DS, nintendo should have started work on a complete version of wind waker with the missing dungeons, better sea travel mechanics and everything they wanted to add that didn't make it into the game because of time pressure.
Oot was already "perfect" upon release and still got master quest.
I cringed a bit when I saw nintendo was remaking it for 3ds instead of doing justice to either MM or WW with proper, more necessary remakes.

Forget it, I suspect miyamoto hates Aounuma's Zeldas because they don't sell and are weird. Nintendo will pretend MM and WW don't exist, like they do with all their games/properties they are not very fond of.
Nintendo isn't touching wind waker with a 10 foot pole and that's a shame. It is THE zelda game in most need of a remake.
Nintendo's remakes are pretty much restricted to handhelds these days. Master Quest, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Fire Emblem 3, and Mario All-Stars are pretty much the only remakes/upgrades they've made to console games on consoles.
That said, if OoT is being remade, I can see MM following close behind. Maybe TWW too. TWW would take more time than MM if they decide to make it cel-shaded, but both wouldn't be as work-intensive as a new Zelda game, and both could be improved upon.
Uh, they did give TWW two sequels.

Am I the only person who loves sailing in Wind Waker?
Nuclear Muffin said:
It was great at first but there's some pretty big flaws in the experience.
No danger at all besides annoyances (shark-jumping, ironically).
Too few big islands to explore
Having to put down your sail to change the direction of the Wind Waker to change the direction of the wind takes way too long.
Actually, having to put down your sail to do nearly everything.

I was talking about the game itself, not about existing or possible sequels, prequels, spin-offs, etc.
Nintendo isn't touching the game The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker with a 10 foot pole means they won't give us the missing dungeons, better mechanics in that game.
They had to swallow sooo much shit for WW, first because of the art style, then because of the triforce piece hunting. Iwata had to somehow apologize if I remember correctly. It truly sucks thngs went that way.
Aonuma apologized about the triforce hunt, not Iwata. And that happened like 5 years after the game's release.sphinx said:
WW was a critically acclaimed game that sold really well considering GC's userbase and I see no reason why Miyamoto would hate it. Two dungeons were cut because of time constraints but Miyamoto was probably one of the key persons making that decision.
Nah that is overblown. It started with Miyamoto who said about Sunshine and Wind Waker that they should've worked harder on those titles. Everyone knew they were rushed out before completion. Koizumi said: "I was shocked about the response to Sunshine so I'm going to make the best game ever" and he made Galaxy.sphinx said:
Aonuma however had some interviews about OOT and TWW and whatnot when he still seemed to care. His main motivation was to make a game better than OOT and he felt that he failed in doing so thus far. He said if he could change something he'd alter the way you change the boots in the Water Temple. The Wind Waker came up as well and he 'apoligized' or at least 'agreed' with the critics on the Triforce Quest. He said that looking back they should've made that differently. His biggest regret on Twilight Princess was that he made it such a huge game from the start and couldn't build enough gameplay to fit in the huge world. That was jolly happy Aonuma at the top of his game, giving out DS carts with Zelda trailers and screenshots being worshipped by fans worldwide.
Again that was all said when he still cared or pretended that he did. Right now he looks miserable and all his interviews are like 'yeah I'm a bad planner, told them about a train whatever oh my kid wants Link to fly on a dragon but I'd never do that and the timeline is real' giving fanboys and Nintendo helpdesks worldwide seizures.

Minus first year US, Europe and Asia = 10.05 million for Japan LTD
First Fiscal Year Japan: 3,010,000
Second Fiscal Year Japan: 7,040,000
Only question, when does the fiscal year end?
