Nintendo's Mii Collecting Game Still A Big Hit In Japan
By Dr. Evelyn Reed | January 01, 0001 | 7 min read
When Nintendo describes its 
software as “evergreen,” it means games like the Nintendo DS title Tomodachi Collection, which was released mid-June and sits atop this week’s Japanese software sales chart. The Mii collecting game beats out DS rival Dragon Quest IX to secure the top spot once again amid a non-eventful rummy satta release week. Stuff like Melty Blood: Actress Again and Ookami Kakushi manage to sell well enough to make an appearance in Media Create‘s weekly top ten, but not well enough to defeat bestsellers like Monster Hunter 3 for the Wii.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() rummy star { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" rummy wealth }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Of course, when Nintendo refers to evergreen titles, it also means much of what consistently hovers in the top 20 and 30 bestselling titles in Japan.
