On target

Japanese gaming publication Famitsu has published sales figures for the month of June, and Nintendo's online shooter Splatoon has come out on top.

The Wii U release sold 368,538 copies between May 25th and June 21st - almost 20,000 of which were digital - making it one of the most impressive débuts for a new Nintendo IP in ages.

The good news for Nintendo didn't stop there, either. Out of the top ten best-selling Japanese games of June, seven were for Nintendo systems, while 16 of the top 30 games were for the 3DS.

Rhythm Heaven: The Best Plus was in second place with 232,459 copies sold during the month, while several other 3DS releases packed out the chart. Mario Kart 8 was the only other Wii U game in the top 30, with 44,470 copies sold.
