The largest retail chain in Japan - Tsutaya - has announced that Hyrule Warriors has shown strong sales over the Obon Season, which is a 3 day festival.

The Obon Season [a three day Japanese festival made to honor ancestral spirits] saw strong sales over last year. Especially for the released Wii U software title Hyrule Warriors, with hardware sales going very well. The Wii U software division recorded sales nearly four times that of the previous year.

So while this is indicative of Japan's interest in the title, we will not know about the English or other iterations for at least another month as the game is set to release in Europe on September 19th and in North America on September 26th.
