Luigi’s Mansion has released just last week on the Nintendo 3DS over in Japan, and according to Media Create sales, the spooky adventure game has managed to knock Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 off of the top spots.
Considering that Luigi’s Mansion for the 3DS is a port of a 17-year old game, it’s quite impressive to see it doing so well in the region:
