First day sales numbers are in from Japan, and things are looking good for fans of both the Phantasy Star and Rhythm Tengoku fanchises. Here are the hard numbers:
Of course, it’s not a surprise thatRhythm Tengoku Goldis selling well in Japan, as it’s about as stylistically Japanese as a game can get, but being a tremendous fan of the series I’m thrilled to see it doing so well.Phantasy Star Portablealso did wonderfully, which was a surprise considering sales of other recent titles from the series have not been high.
The real test forRhythm Tengoku Goldis to see how it fares here in the states (it will be known asRhythm Heavenhere). I implore you, if you like rhythm games, buy and support this one. You will discover a new level of DS addiction that you have never known.Soulcaliber IVis doing well too, but I assume most of you already own a copy, so I’m not going to plug that one — you already know why it’s selling well!
