gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Just recently the Gnosia and Needy Girl Overdose animes both turned great. Here's a funny story: I went on a take to watch the 4th Resident Evil movie, and found it so boring I feel asleep 30 minutes in. Needless to say, there wasn't a second date. 020 2
gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I do have a soft spot for P.W. Anderson's first couple RE movies and the first Silent Hill, but I wouldn't call either of them good. Calling this the first good videogame adaptation is not quite true though, as many VNs have turned into great animes, though that's cheating a bit 120 2
gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I just saw this movie, it's great. It's cool to finally see a big videogame movie that's just good without any asteriks. 120 2

Also releasing a week after Zelda, which also has a special edition 140 4

gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Best selling games of the year so far, October update. Fire Emblem and Onimusha join at the tail of this list. Rhythm Heaven should surpass Pokopia by the end of October. The top 2 selling games in Japan for 2026 will be Switch 1 games. 182 8
gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Silent Hill: Townfall had a (very expected) drop from the launch of Silent Hill f and the Silent Hill 2 remake. Nonetheless, it's 13k launch still puts it above all other SH games until Origins, and it should be higher than it including digital sales. 010 1

gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Pretty weird how the 30th anniversary art has Sakura, Erica and Gemini, but not the other Sakura 🤔 020 2
gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Three Houses and Engage were both voucher games (Three Houses among the first) and also saw good digital sales, I'd guess all three games had a similar +200k launch. 021 2
gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 28/09/2026From Nintendo's financials we've seen that their games are selling around 40% digital, as Fire Emblem is a very expensive game (10k yen at retail) it may have a higher digital share than average. 141 4
gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Comparing retail launch of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave with the rest of the series. It's the weakest launch in 20 years, with a 10% drop from both Engage and Three Houses. Digital should put it over 200k. Not a bad launch, but was expecting more after the great reviews. 262 6

gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 17/09/2026This week, total retail sales of Rhythm Heaven Groove in Japan surpassed 1 MILLION units. It's the second game in the series to hit the milestone (after the NDS game which sold 1.9m), and it's on path to become the best selling game in the series. 294 9

gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Look at this guy, he looks so happy. I found this while checking a 1997 Famitsu issue, the congraturation is for Crash 1 surpassing 500k units sold in Japan. 060 6

gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Onimusha was the first big hit on PS2, and it was one of the biggest series on the platform. This is also the second biggest Capcom launch for the year, after Resident Evil. Launch week sales alone are higher than last reported sales of Pragmata and Monster Hunter Stories 3 021 2
gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Comparing retail sales of Onimusha: Way of the Sword with the previous games. Digital likely puts on par with the latest game in the series, Dawn of Dreams. Well below the first few games, but very much expected. Nonetheless, great launch for a 20 year old dormant series. 271 7

gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Out of retail sales alone, Rhythm Heaven Groove has become the series' 2nd best selling game in Japan, surpassing sales the 3DS and Wii games. The NDS port of the first game is still on top at nearly 2m sales, but Groove should be around 1.5m with digital, it should beat it. 1124 12
gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I was thinking 10k was pessimistic, but now even with 70% digital sales it's a very lackluster result. Needless to say it's also well under all the Marvel vs. Capcom games, hell, it did less than half of the Marvel Fighting Collection, and the retail version was late! 090 9
gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 21/08/2026First week retail sales of Marvel Toukon in Japan were below 3k units. This is the worst launch for an Arc System fighter in Japan (excluding super niche stuff like DNF Duel), well below most of the Guilty Gear, BlazBlue and even Under Night in Birth. Very poor launch 2236 23
gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It's the biggest launch for retail publisher Happinet too, and already their 3rd best selling game ever. 011 1
gamedatalibrary.bsky.social @gamedatalibrary.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It's difficult to make a direct comparison as Giga Wreker, Little Town Hero, Harmonight and Tembo were digital only, but... Beast of Reincarnation is very likely GameFreak's biggest non-Pokémon launch in Japan since Mario & Wario all the way back in 1993. 142 4
