Splatoon Japanese Sales

1. [WIU] Splatoon – 144,818 / NEW

No wonder why I'm often the only non-Japanese guy in the match.

Oh, Wow. Didn't think Splatoon would sell that well in Japan.

Excellent. Hope it does well here as well.

Are there numbers for the rest of the world somewhere?

Not yet. The middle of June they release the US numbers. Nintendo might make a statement about worldwide if the numbers are good enough. Maybe something at E3 (there's a specific press release for stats during the time of the direct).

All my japanese wii u friends from a previous game are on splatoon

I heard games sold out in canada along with 3 pack amiibo in certain areas but don't know the numbers.

Here in Australia the shelves were filled with the game when I purchased mine (earlier today). Would be interested to know the numbers

I'm from Canada and just got it off the eShop because I didn't want to go to a store and be dissapointed :P

How's the connection/lag from Aus? I assume you probably get put into games with a lot of Japanese players?

Really impressive, especially considering it's Japan, which is a handheld country by nature.
