Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, And Yellow Top 1.5 Million Downloads On Virtual Console

Nintendo announced during their latest financial results briefing that Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow has surpassed a total worldwide sales of over 1.5 million units, with most coming from the American market.

Worldwide, the four Virtual Console titles – Pokémon Red, Green, Blue and Pikachu – have been downloaded more than 1.5 million times. More than half of these downloads came from the American market. Since the start of the calendar year, Pokémon has been the subject of much attention in America, and sales are showing a favorable trend. Although these are downloadable software titles, download codes sold through retail stores have been a high proportion of sales in Japan. We believe that we have successfully created a chance to appeal to the nostalgia of consumers who played these titles when they first came out.
