You know, sometimes you stumble upon a game that takes off like a rocket, and for some reason, that image of a rocket never leaves your head. Anyway, that’s what’s happening with “Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time.” Since May 21, it zoomed past 800,000 copies worldwide in just 12 days. Crazy, right? This cozy little deal from Level-5 and Nintendo somehow got everyone hooked. Or maybe it’s just me who gets obsessed with these stats.
So, here’s the thing. Normally, you don’t see sequels pop up 13 years later. But it happened with this one. The first “Fantasy Life” hit the scene way back in 2012, exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS in Japan. Fast forward to now, and here’s its sequel, casually strutting in on every major platform like the cool kid in school. Maybe it was the global release strategy, or just the pent-up good vibes of old fans — who really knows?
Twitter buzzed — and by buzzed, I mean it practically screamed — about “Fantasy Life i” smashing that 800k mark. Just a dozen days after launch. That’s faster than my coffee percolates in the morning. The devs are aiming to hit a million before June wraps up. An audacious target? Perhaps. But in gaming, wild dreams sometimes become wild realities.
Oh, and let’s not forget how this game rocketed to half a million in just three days. I mean, what? Then added another 300k in its own sweet time. Classic case of early adopter rush, if you ask me. A bit of a slowdown? Sure, but when you’re comfortable with the pace, does it even matter? Mystery remains if it’ll meet or beat the original’s sales of 1.11 million. I’d bet, but I’m terrible at gambling — once lost a whole set of Tupperware on a card game. Long story.
The cherry on top? We’re anticipating a boost in sales as it’ll launch on the Switch 2 on June 5. Just around the corner. Will it reach that dream of a million? Well, like with everything in life, only time will spill the beans.
