Wario Ware GC takes top spot in Japan, plus weekly console sale - Great Rumbler - 25th October 2003
Quote:For the week of October 13-19 in Japan the number one selling game was Made in Wario for GameCube. The GBA versions seems to have spurred it to early sales reaching about 90,900 in total, which is 55 thousand more than the second game that is on PS2. Grand Thefto Auto III for PS2 has sold 21,700 last week and has 226,600 total since its release in Japan.
1. Game Boy Advance SP -- 31,600 / 1,788,600
2. Playstation 2 -- 26,900 / 2,149,000
3. GameCube -- 11,100 / 564,800
4. Game Boy Advance -- 6,300 / 1,080,800
5. Playstation -- 650 / 58,600
6. Xbox -- 440 / 76,700
Everybody likes Wario Ware!

Oh nuts about GTA3 being there, for them to know about. Ever get this embarressment for your whole nation when you realize another nation knows one of your nation's little shames? I felt that way after seeing the South Park parody in FLCL...

GTA3 is a very fun game, whether you approve of the content or not. Even Miyamoto talked about how great it was that a game like GTA could sell so well despite its crappy graphics.

Yes, the GTA3 and Vice City are very fun games. Sometimes I'll just get and car and drive around for an hour doing stunts and listening to the radio.

Perhaps that's why DJ didn't like it. It was too open-ended for her.

Wario Ware Cube sounds like the most insane multiplayer game ever... I really wonder if it'll ever come out over here.

Well the GBA version sold really well so I imagine it will.

True, but we've heard nothing yet, and its already out there...

It should be out here early next year. It's basically just a multiplayer version of the GBA game.

Yeah, they released the GBA version out here so I don't see why they won't release this one.

Its too bad that it doesn't have more single-player stuff... I wish it was more than basically a home copy of the GBA game. Oh well... it still looks good.

Sure, but it needs some new stuff to keep it fresh!

I believe there are a bunch of new mini-games, but that the majority of them are from the GBA.

Yeah, and I think it was somewhat a missed opportunity... it still looks quite good, but not as good. Especially in single player.

Yeah Wario!

Heh heh, I've seen that already at N-Philes Forum, but it's still mildly amusing. :)
