It hit 1.6 million in gross sales in accordance with Capcom knowledge

It’s wild seeing the disparity between how massive some sequence appear, and the way massive they are surely. Metroid is one which involves thoughts. Whereas the Mega Man sequence is mighty when it comes to uncooked variety of video games, it doesn’t all the time result in mega gross sales. Mega Man 11 nonetheless, may be thought-about a hit by almost any metric. Particularly after studying that it’s taken the highest spot general when it comes to general gross sales. “Greatest-selling Mega Man 11” has type of a hoop to it, particularly given the circumstances behind its launch, and the way it effortlessly swooped in and crushed Mighty No. 9.

The information comes immediately from Capcom, who up to date their gross sales figures over on their official web site (thanks Nintendo Life!). Should you scroll fairly a methods down, all the way in which previous tons of Monster Hunter, Road Fighter, Resident Evil, and Lifeless Rising entries, and even a couple of Onimusha titles (carry this sequence again!), you’ll see Mega Man 11 at quantity 67 general with 1.6 million in gross sales. That places it above the earlier champion, Mega Man 2, which sports activities 1.51 million in gross sales and helped kick off an empire.

So the place’s Mega Man 12? We are able to solely hope it’s within the works sooner or later, and builds on the inspiration of every thing Mega Man 11 was; however with suggestions and enhancements. I’d like to see an even bigger finances rendition of Mega Man 8: anime cutscenes and all.
