Reminder it outsold every Sakura Wars game in Japan, a supposedly "legendary" Sega franchise.

It's insane how much weebs control the narrative about reteo games online.

Console wars are ultra gay but I was always interested in N64 and Saturn sales in Japan since a lot of saturn fans say that the Saturn was far more popular than the N64 in Japan.
iirc the Saturn's best seller in Japan (Virtua Fighter 2) sold over a million copies but it was still behind the top sellers for the N64, I don't have a Saturn software sales sadly.

Mario Kart 64 is more beloved than any Saturn in Japan including Virtua Meme

In Japan, Donkey Kong Country 3 (single game) outsold the Sonic series (4 games) by three times. Which is a 1:16 ratio. And that's the lowest selling Donkey Kong game.

They always exaggerate.
>there wasn't a single person in Japan that didn't know this game/company back then!
>talk to a japanese person with an interest in vidya that was there at the time
>"never heard of them"

Literally nobody ever pitted Sakura Ward against Nintendo slop in any discussion until you just decided to right now.
Nintendo fans need to just stop thinking about the Saturn. It has nothing to do with you.

Oh bloo bloo bloo the children’s games for the children’s console outsold the games for the specialized enthusiast console but the fans of the enthusiast console won’t give the children’s console its due.
Also we have a famous plumber game that’s better than the penguin and crocodile games on the other console. Just give us the trophy already.

What's your point? That childrens game sell well? We are supposed to be hardcore gamers that evaluate games based on merit here. Not profit focused suits who care about sales numbers to baby's

N64 and Saturn are better than the ps1

>It's just like a hecking anime!
Weebs always say this to pretend this game is good but actual Japanese people would rather play games like DK64 and Banjo. Not sure how being like anime is supposed to be a good thing anyway since it's trash you need low standards to enjoy.

These are the Japanese sales:
Donkey Kong 64: 1,100,000
Banjo-Kazooie: 400,000
Banjo-Tooie: 170,000

Mega Man Legends: 150,000
Mega Man Legends 2: 72,000

Weebs pretend MML are some great classics but Japan (who they worship) doesn't even like them.

Most of the "classic" PS1 games that get shilled here by third worlders were outsold by N64 games in Japan. Only FF and DQ were really popular.

Using the word anime like it carries a singular meaningful description is inherently anti-intellectual. It's mainly something thought up by wide-eyed gaijins who view all Japanese entertainment as "the dragon balls and gundams". When in actuality stuff like Banjo-Kazooie are Mario are "anime". They're animated entertainment.

yeah but pc engine was a "shooters" console
also puyo puyo selling 500k makes no sense either when both super famicom and pc engine got ports

Words' meanings often change when one culture borrows them from the other. "Pork" and "beef" just refer to meat in modern English, even though those were proper French words to describe pigs and ox respectively. You only have an issue with it because it happened to your favorite culture in this instance.

Yeah, but that's like saying the Commodore is the best gaming system back in the day. Japan still to this day still has issues of thinking of the PC as an actual gaming system rather then something for work, porn, or visual novels.

3D Rare platformers led to shitty GTA clones and there's not a single proper JRPG N64 could play.
N64 was the secondary dudebro console at the time.
