Japanese Charts: Booyah! Splatoon Raiders Puts Up Some Huge Week-One Numbers
Splatoon Raiders, a spin-off in Nintendo’s hugely popular Splatoon series, has made a strong debut in Japan’s physical game charts. The game sold 474,684 units in its opening week, debuting at number one on the Japanese physical sales rankings.
This impressive launch performance reflects the significant popularity of the Splatoon franchise in Japan. Splatoon Raiders’ week-one sales displaced Rhythm Heaven Groove from the top position, demonstrating strong consumer interest in the series. The result builds on the franchise’s previous success—Splatoon 3 is notably Japan’s fastest-selling Nintendo game ever.
The latest Famitsu chart data also shows continued commercial strength for other Nintendo titles. Mario Kart World and Tomodachi Life both achieved major sales milestones during this period, highlighting the broad appeal of Nintendo’s game library in the Japanese market.
The sales data underscores the enduring commercial success of Nintendo’s first-party franchises in Japan, where the company maintains particularly strong market presence and player engagement.
