What a record!

You may have noticed that Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury was the number 1 best-selling game in Japan this past week, bumping Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban! to second place. That ends a sales streak for Momotaro Dentetsu, and a majorly impressive one at that.

Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban! was the best-selling game on the Japanese software sales charts for 11 weeks straight. That makes it the game with the longest #1 sales streak in Japan in 20 years!

With Mario likely to hold onto #1 for awhile now, and heavy hitters like Monster Hunter and New Pokemon Snap on the way, it's doubtful Momotaro Dentetsu will regain the top spot. Still though, a majorly impressive run, and it's clear the game still has a lot of life left in it.
