Sonic Mania #1 Switch Best Seller In Most Regions, #6 In Japan
For the first time in 5-6 years, a Sonic game is selling. And selling well.
Sonic Mania is currently toping the Nintendo Switch best seller charts “in most regions”. The UK and US were specifically mentioned, due to the fact that the game has managed to put an end to the good luck streaks of Overcooked: Special Edition and Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition, two games that had been maintaining a significant presence on the charts for a good while now.
Meanwhile, in Japan, the game is #6.
This doesn’t count PS4 and Xbox One, along with the upcoming release of the PC version.

Japan sometimes man…
Yeah, but being in the top 10 over there isn’t that bad, right?
Right. 🙂
What Sonic Generations didn’t sell well?
Sonic Generations WAS 6 years ago, dude.
‘For the first time in 5-6 years..’
Sonic Generations came out 6 years ago, in the meantime games like Sonic Lost World, the Sonic Boom games, and Mario and Sonic were exclusive to Nintendo consoles. The Wii U versions of these games didn’t sell well and I doubt the 3DS games sold any better.
Sonic is great again. I could cry.
This is the greatness of sonic that I been waiting for.
I’m glad Mania is getting high reviews, but I’m sure the only reason they’re giving it super high scores is because they’re trying to send a message to Sega.
Which I’m sure will stick, but I doubt they’ll stop making 3D games entirely. They’ll just be much more influenced by Mania instead of the Rush games. Which is great!
What if they made a Rush game that played like Mania and the only way to use boost is to unlock it? Play as Sonic, Blaze, Tails, Cream, Knuckles, maybe Marine. I just want more Blaze.
