It's out; Japanese punters can finally sprint to the shops and pick up a copy of the awesome Super Mario Galaxy... though it looks like a lot of them might be holding off until the weekend.
According to Japanese site Ameblo, Mario's big Wii outing has shifted 130,000 copies in its first day of release in Japan, which is a bit unimpressive for the console's biggest "hardcore" release to date.
Sure, we never expected it to reach the sales heights of nan and girl-favourites Wii Sports and Wii Play, but going by the same sales data it's not even doing much better than Zelda: Twilight Princess.
But, we digress; it's only the first day of release and the weekend's yet to arrive. So we're sure there are still plenty of Japanese gamers yet to run off to the shops for their copies - and it's sure to shift much faster in the West.
And for those who don't give a monkey about the sales numbers it's still a bloody fantastic game. We've finished it already and you can expect our full verdict early next week...
