Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster Sells Over 49,000 Physical Units in Japan at Launch

Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars was the big new release last week after years in the making. Sure enough, the remastered classic JRPG has enjoyed a solid debut in the latest Japanese physical sales charts released by Famitsu. Selling over 49,000 sales overall, the remaster sees its Switch version at No. 2 and the PS5 version occupying third place.

That said, Monster Hunter Wilds, which topped proceedings last week, still holds the top spot by quite a margin, with over 101,000 physical units sold in its second week. Beyond that, several evergreen Nintendo Switch titles occupy positions in the top 10, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

On the hardware side of things, the PS5 is still unusually leading the way with over 52,000 units sold, with the Monster Hunter bump sustaining (even if sales have halved since last week). The Nintendo Switch follows behind with over 37,000 units sold.
