Japanese Sales | First Day Sees Nintendos Yoshis Island DS Fly [news]

Ouch, slow start for Heros of Mana.

Go Yoshi Island!

Wow imagine if Yoshi's Island was good how much it'd sell! Not saying its a bad game, just it doesn't feel the same as the last game, its a bit more sloppy and even though its a nit pick the font they picked sucks, why the hell couldn't they keep the squiggly font from the last game? That was part of the charm of the game.

those are awsome sales! Go Yoshi!

I'm surprised, that Yoshi did so well. I'm glad, that even games without Mario himself in it sell well.
I do not usually buy these games, because I am not that rich. Shame, I should diversify my taste of games. That's why I never bought Electroplankton, Contact and Co. Shame. Please, buy it!

Shame, too, that Heroes only sold 10.000 copies. I do like the Mana-brand but to be honest, the GBA-port of Sword of Mana became dull after a while. Maybe I am injust to them?

Yoshi deserves to do well. Hooray for the cute green (sometimes) one! But his game isn't that amazing...

WOW surprised about Yoshi selling so well! Too bad about MANA thought coz it deserves to sell alot better!

Despite what some may say, Mana is a really good real-time strategy game!

Square Enix has killed the mana name. First with Children of Mana and then with Dawn of Mana. They really need to release Secret of Mana on the Virtual Console now, for redemption.

What console is Heroes of Mana for?

edit: Never mind, googled it, DS, stupid question

The most annoying thing is that Heroes of Mana deserves far better sales...but because around 250,000 people bought the piece of crap PS2 game, nobody's interested in Mana right now Square Enix really has shot itself in the foot this time

i bought children of mana.

i'll probably never buy a mana game again.

And for people who bought mana3 for the PS2 as well...

What a shame it's selling so well, all I've heard is that it's a soulless reflection of the original.

Glad to see Yoshi's Island selling well. I hear it is a great game, but similar to the original.

Sorry, what I meant to say was:

Go [insert DS game of any quality level]!

No need to get all angsty now, I was only messing with you.

Go Yoshima!, luvz the Yosh, the Wii version will be more hardcore lol, as Yoshi games are. Nintendo sent me a very interesting survey once i registerd my game, the impression i got was that they were really trying to get a good understanding about your minute responses to the game, it took a while to do, but i did get 250* for completing it.

The director of the snes game only took a advisory role in the DS game, there are some nice gameplay touches, yet there is not enough direction and scope within the levels.

I reckon it's going to wicked on the Wii though, i feel the DS game has a very introductory feel about it, and that has nothing to do with the graphic style though, i should also add that i think the sound is not very good at all, it's like they were running out of game code space . LS

FF12 sold around 1.7 million copies in its first week actually. Just a little bit off.

If third parties keep on getting such shit sales they might just top developing on Nintendo consoles...this thought's been worrying me quite a lot lately.

Brain Training at 20.

Oh this is just ridiculous! The game has been out for decades, and is still selling!

heroes of mana doesn't look appealing in any way... where the games of the old quality? can't they atleast try to make something good, instead of all this shit simrpgs or 100% dungeon crawlers?!

300,000 nioceee. Go Yoshi.

Go professor, go!
