February is over. Games were sold in Japan last month, and Famitsu publisher Enterbrain has a list of which games sold the most.
Was Nintendo able to outsell everyone with the newest entry in its popular Mario & Luigi RPG series? Or was there a dark horse that dominated the month? (Hint: It wasn't a Pokémon game.)
