Japan: Top 10 for the Nintendo eShop (September 5th – 11th, 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, Sabaku no Nezumidan (released right after the Nintendo 3DS Direct presentation on September 1st) is still the best-seller, while Minecraft: Wii U Edition remains #2 just below Discovery… a Minecraft clone.
