Have you ever wondered just how popular some fighting games are? For the United States at least, NPD analyst Mat Piscatella broke down the best-selling fighting games as of October 2019 end. Surprisingly, Mortal Kombat X is on top for both the PS4 and Xbox One.

Though these lists are only the top five best-selling fighters till date, it’s still interesting to behold. In terms of dollar sales, Mortal Kombat X is on top for both consoles. Mortal Kombat 11 is in second place for PS4 while Injustice 2, another NetherRealm property, ranks second on Xbox One (followed by Mortal Kombat 11).

Of course, seeing the Dragon Ball Xenoverse titles in the rankings isn’t too strange. Neither is the fact that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tops the best-selling fighters for Nintendo Switch with Pokken Tournament DX in second place. It’s worth noting that even if Mortal Kombat 11 isn’t as popular on Nintendo’s handheld, it’s still in the top five best-selling fighters.

Dragon Ball FighterZ may be the new Dragon Ball hotness from Bandai Namco, but before even then, they had Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, which ended up being remarkably successful. How successful? Well, Bandai Namco has announced that sales of the Dragon Ball Xenoverse series have crossed 10 million units worldwide. So that’s pretty damn successful.

This number is up from the 8 million copies the series had sold as of November 2017, and the Switch port of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, which launched last year and went on to do unexpectedly well, may actually have something to do with the increase in less than a year. On the other hand, fuelled by great post launch support, Xenoverse 2 has also had great legs on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, so maybe it’s just done well all around, on all systems. Even more content has been promised for the game, so that popularity should continue- and who knows, maybe we might even get a Xenoverse 3, eventually.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is available on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC; Xenoverse 2 is on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Hot on the heels of the Bloodborne 1 million announcement, Bandai Namco have confirmed that Dark Souls II, the hit sequel to From Software’s original Dark Souls game that was released last year, is now at 2.5 million copies sold worldwide. This includes sales across all platforms, and Namco notes that the release of Scholar of the First Sin on PS4, Xbox One, and PC might see sales spurred even more.

That is not the only quality Bandai Namco game that is doing well, however. The recently released Dragon Ball Xenoverse, which is being hailed as the greatest Dragon Ball game ever, has also taken off enormously, selling 2.5 million units as well; unlike Dark Souls II, however, it did this in just three months since its launch back in January.

For me, this is good news. Although Bandai Namco often get a lot of flack, they are a great developer and publisher, willing to take risks, and support a diverse portfolio of games. Seeing them get rewarded for it makes me happy.

In a rather odd twist of sorts, Bandai Namco’s Dragon Ball: Xenoverse has proven to be the most popular iteration in the series till date. It’s shipped 1.5 million copies worldwide and has been dubbed the “biggest Dragon Ball game ever” by its publisher.

Though a fighting game like its predecessors, Dragon Ball: Xenoverse features an original plot taking place within the established canon. Whether this has been the case for its success or not is unknown – it could also be a matter of this being the first current gen Dragon Ball Z game and thus warranting lots of attention.

Fans can look forward to the first DLC for Xenoverse today which comes with three new characters (Kid Goku GT, Trunks GT and Pan), Planet Tuffle as a new stage, nine new Z-Souls, five new costumes, 15 new Special moves, Tien and Yamcha as new Masters and new Time Patrol and Parallel quests.

Rise of Incarnates:

Created by the team behind Soul Calibur and Tekken, Rise of the Incarnates is a free to play fighting game that focuses on 2 vs. 2 gameplay for the PC. It currently had an alpha test near the end of May and it’s likely there will be a beta in the coming days. Check out the newest trailer below.

PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures 2:

This isn’t the same PAC-Man you remember. PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures 2 is based on an animated series of the same name and is more of a 3D platformer. PAC-MAN can still consume power pellets but they’ll be used to change his form during different segments. There will also be different vehicles you can pilot in-game.

Tales of Xillia 2:

Though already available in Japan for the PlayStation 3, Tales of Xillia 2 will be releasing in August in North America and Europe. The story is fairly convoluted but will follow the first game’s story and have a new battle system.

Tales of Hearts R:

Tales of Hearts R is a remake of the original 3DS version that released in 2008 and will be out on the Vita in Q4 2014. The gameplay still mirrors the home console releases and the Vita versions will include new scenarios, two new party members, 3D graphics and fully voiced lines. Thoughts? Check it out below.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse:

What is Dragon Ball Xenoverse? Dragon Ball Xenoverse is a Dragon Ball title that will be out on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4 and PS3 and comes from the same team behind the Budokai games. And that’s frankly all you need to know about the game.

Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment:

Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment is based on a novel and anime and will feature RPG gameplay, combo attacks, execution speed and knowledge of the opponent will be mandatory to survive in this VR world!
