Japan: Top 10 for the Nintendo eShop (December 12 – 18, 2016)
In Japan, Nintendo is regularly posting weekly rankings for the Nintendo eShop on its website (more precisely, its Topics section). Obviously, there’s no actual sales data, but they give us a good idea of what Japanese players are buying on the Nintendo eShop. Also, please note the rankings below include digital pre-orders, which explains why some unreleased games are charting.
On Nintendo 3DS, Yo-kai Watch 3: Sukiyaki is the new best-seller, while on Wii U, Petit Computer Big managed to outsell Minecraft: Wii U Edition during its launch week.
