Pokemon Legends Arceus

Do you remember when Pokemon Legends Arceus was first announced? Many of us weren’t sure what the game was really going to be about, and that raised lots of questions overall. But then, when it became the first open-world-style Pokemon game with new catching mechanics and beyond, many felt that it was indeed going to be something special.

Fast forward to now, and Nintendo of Japan has revealed that Pokemon Legends Arceus is the best-selling Nintendo game in Japan for the first six months of the year. Which backs up a lot of the sales data that we’ve gotten about the game as a whole. 

Be sure to check out our rave review of the game here!
