According to retailer reports Paper Mario 2 is selling well in Japan, no big surprise though.

Paper Mario 2 was released on Thursday in Japan and according to initial retailer reports the title is selling well. Expected sales at the moment are around 92,000 but nothing is definite yet.

The Japanese charts will be in tomorrow but they will not include the title as they usually run a week behind.

The graphics are intensely sharp, so sharp that it's sharper than a rolled up piece of paper, dipped in lemon juice and jabbed in your eye. The visuals are stunning, and as everything is made out of paper 2D style on a lush 3D background, I physically wanted to reach into the screen and try and roll up the portly Mario.
