Namco Bandai's
One Piece: Gigant Battle for Nintendo DS debuted on top of the Japanese retail game sales charts this week, outselling all other games by a wide margin.
For the week ended September 12, the DS title sold 131,854 units, with the number two title, Capcom's Monster Hunter Diary:
Pokapoka Ailu Village, immediately following with 55,569 units sold, announced tracking firm Media Create.
One Piece: Gigant Battle is a fighting game based on the popular manga series One Piece, and features gameplay similar to that of
Smash Bros. or the Japanese-only
Jump Superstars, which also included characters from the One Piece manga.
