Nintendo Switch exclusive Super Smash Bros Ultimate sold over 1.2 million physical copies in Japan during its first three days on sale.
That’s according to Japanese gaming outlet Famitsu (as translated by Gematsu). The figure for the fighter puts it just behind Pokemon when it comes to Nintendo’s all-time best-sellers during the opening week.
That also makes it the highest opening week for a Nintendo Switch game in the country.
