Kirby Star Allies has had the strongest debut month of sales in the U.S. in the franchises’ history, according to The NPD Group. The Switch side-scroller had a 90 percent better debut month than 2002’s Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland, which last held that distinction.
Star Allies came out for the Switch on March 16. It was the No. 4 best-selling game of March in the U.S., according to The NPD Group. This shows how the success of the Switch is giving Nintnendo’s franchises a boost. Kirby isn’t as big a seller as Nintendo’s top series — like Mario, Zelda, or Pokémon — but the excitement surrounding the Switch has helped Star Allies reach new sales heights. And Star Allies’ success shows that Kirby and co-op games can do well on the Switch.
