It’s a triumphant return for the little pink ball. In Japan, Nintendo’s new opus even dethrones a certain Elden Ring in terms of sales.
The famous Nintendo license, which celebrates its thirtieth anniversary this year, has not lost its luster. Got out last march 25Kirby and the Forgotten World will indeed not take long to seduce.
With its excellent start, the title developed by HAL Laboratory sits on the sales charts of some countries. In the UK, for example, the game had the best launch of the series. In Japan, the success is no less. Kirby and the Forgotten World also comes out on top with more than 380,060 distributions. Which is more than what Pokémon Legends: Arceus achieved when it came.
Numbers that also surpass FromSoftware’s latest creation. You have to believe that in the land of the Rising Sun, Elden Ring does not reign like a god on the market. But hey, we’re exaggerating: its result, amounting to 307,546 copies sold during the census, remains very good. And then, let’s not forget that Kirby targets a wider audience.
A last episode which is therefore the best start of the series (in Japan), thus arriving in front of the one who held the previous record: Kirby Super Star Ultra released in 2008 (2009 with us) on Nintendo-DS.
