Punch-Out!! Still Selling Well

From NPD:

May: 156,900
June: 148,754

Total: 305,654

The middle of the summer is the slow time for sales. I expect the game to be selling well for a consistently long time.

Link to video since, strangely, it won’t embed.

Note the absence of ‘dark’, ‘grim’, and ‘moody’ as is found in most games of today. For some stupid reason, games when they are bright and cheerful are considered ‘childish’ which I think is the opposite. When I think back, even on the NES I didn’t like the ‘dark’ and ‘grim’ games. I liked my games playful, bright, and cheerful like Mario, like Zelda, like Mega Man… and like Punch-Out!!.
