To give some ideas for numbers;

  • TOTK sold around 1.1 million digital copies at launch, so should be noticeably above that now.
  • Pikmin 4 had a least 260,000 in digital sales by the end of September
  • FE Engage has around 200,000 digital sales by March, so again will be above that
  • Momotaro Dentetsu World: Chikyuu wa Kibou de Mawatteru's digital sales will be between 200,000 and 300,000 as of this chart.

8, 18, 22, and 24 are the only western games and those are all indies (I include Minecraft into that category for historical reasons) on top

That Suika Game is pretty fun, took me a couple of days to make a watermelon but was able to do it during the free trial period.

googled it looks like a match 3, Is it?
It is not. The point is to combine smaller objects to make a bigger object until you make the largest (Watermelon) and see how many times you can do it. It's physics based so often the rolling of fruits will make things difficult as they can roll in any direction, which is one of my biggest issues with the game where it can cause fruit to pop up from the bottom directly to the top causing an instant game over, even though your playing field isn't full.
