Japan: Top 10 for the Nintendo eShop (January 30 – February 5, 2017)
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, Farewell! Hakoboy! is the new best-seller, while on Wii U, Fire Emblem (Virtual Console) topped sales once again.
