Koei Tecmo has revealed that sales for Hyrule Warriors have exceeded expectations in North America and Europe. Although it hasn’t shared specifics such as figures, the Japanese publisher says it is surprised by the hack-and-slash title’s performance outside its home country. Earlier this month, Nintendo attributed the Wii U console’s recent increase in sales partially to the game. Hyrule Warriors is available in stores and on the Nintendo eShop for Wii U.

Well, I'm not at all surprised by this since the Legend of Zelda series was always more popular in the West (especially in North America) than it was in Japan. This game is really addicting and I've been playing it to this day ever since I've bought it.

The Dragon Quest one would sell well in Japan I'd expect. Should do great things for PS4. 

now all we need is smash bros to come out and i actually think the wii u might be able to catch up to ps4! at least i hope. i still want a ps4 tho.

That's great news! I really like hack and slash games, there's always something going on! I still don't think I'm going to buy a Wii U, not to say it isn't a great console.
