Seems like the Japanese sales are much more generous than ours. Even with the spring sale on I've struggled to find anything that piques my interest that I don't already own
Nobody:
Nintendolife: So here is our 20th animal crossing article this week.
So it’s all shovel ware then 😂
Human: Fall Flat has been a massive success in Japan, you can see it’s still hanging in there, even though it’s well over two years old now! Curious.
@Jteves10 is this really an animal crossing article? ... not really, right?
I'm surprised Sword and Shield didn't make it into top 20
I'm just so happy that Animal Crossing was a huge success!
Yay for Animal Crossing and Pokemon, amazing games.
Arc System Works needs to step up their sale game in the US. As an example, Of Mice And Sand was 91% off in Japan? It's been on sale a grand total of 0 times ever in the US, despite being over 2 years old at this point. I don't specifically want or care about that game, but there are a bunch from their library that I would be interested in, even for a moderate sale price.
Great to see Ni No Kuni in there at 3!
