Sure thing! Here it goes:

So here’s a wild one for you. This game, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, has been absolutely flying off the shelves—like 800,000 copies in 12 days. I mean, what? Wasn’t it just yesterday that games took ages to hit those numbers—or maybe I’m just remembering wrong. Anyway, this one’s from Level-5 and published by Nintendo, and it’s available everywhere—from Switch to PC, yadda yadda.
I gotta say, it’s kind of nuts that this is a sequel to something that came out way back in 2012. That’s like, ancient history in game years. The first one, Fantasy Life, stayed put in Japan on the 3DS. Fast forward to now, and we’ve got this sequel hitting the global stage right off the bat. Smart move, I guess, and seems like it worked ’cause people are clearly into it.
Jumping over to Twitter for a sec—the official account was all proud, announcing how this cozy RPG crossed that 800,000 mark in no time. They’re pretty hyped, thinking they’ll hit a million by the end of June. And if they do…man, that’s a quick rise for a game that’s been dormant for so long.
Here’s a funny little twist: they nailed 500k sales just three days in. But now, the pace has slowed a bit, as you’d expect, right? Games don’t just keep selling like that unless they’re, like, super-hyped all the time. They’ve got 200k more to go to match the original’s sales. Imagine that—played catch-up with its predecessor in just over a month? Could happen, who knows?
Ah, and get this—the game’s heading to Switch 2 on June 5. I guess that’ll shake things up. Could be the push it needs to break through that million mark. But anyway—wait, lost my train of thought—yeah, so it might or might not make it there. Guess we’ll see what happens next, right?
