The best-selling Nintendo 64 game in Japan remains the ever-popular Mario Kart 64, with more than 2 million copies sold. For comparison's sake, this compares to over 6 million copies sold in overseas markets. Likewise, the US release of Super Mario 64 sold more than 9 million times, compared to 1.8 million Japanese sales (this consolidated ranking includes the "Shindou" Rumble Pak re-release).
Fans of more mature games should note the extremely high sales figures Rare's GoldenEye achieved in the overseas markets. The game unseated Mario Kart 64 as the #2 title, with almost 7 million copies sold. We're confident that Nintendo will not ignore the game's runaway success and put the Perfect Dark team on their next mature action title for Dolphin the day PD ships off to the manufacturing plants.
