As a seasoned gamer who’s been navigating digital landscapes since the days of Super NES, I must say, Nintendo’s latest financial reports are always a sight for sore eyes. The recent Q1 sales updates for Nintendo RPGs, particularly the Switch release of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, have sent a wave of nostalgia coursing through my veins.
Nintendo recently published their quarterly financial report [PDF] for the first quarter of the 2025 fiscal year, providing us with additional details about the sales performance of their Role-Playing Games (RPGs).
On this particular site dedicated to a specific genre, we primarily discuss the launch of “Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door” for Nintendo Switch. According to Nintendo, the remake has sold approximately 1.76 million copies within the last quarter (up until June 30). Interestingly, Nintendo shares that the game was bought by 1.3 million consumers during its first six weeks on sale.
