TLDR

Onimusha: Way of the Sword earned third place on one player's top-20 list for 2026 so far, alongside another player's enthusiastic account of finishing the game: a “brutal” final boss and closing scenes that gave them goosebumps. A chart post covering September 7–13, 2026, puts lifetime Japanese physical sales at about 122,750 across PS5 and Switch 2. That post says Switch 2's share of the game's weekly physical sales rose from 20% in week one to 26.5% in week two.

@DXBNINJapan physical charts, 7 to 13 September. 1. [NSW] Rhythm Heaven Groove – 24,756 (1,000,045) 2. [PS5] Onimusha: Way of the Sword – 19,654 (96,184) 3. [NS2] Splatoon Raiders – 8,163 (656,692) 4. [NSW] Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream – 7,607 (1,603,143) 5. [NS2] Onimusha: Way of the Sword – 7,070 (26,569) 6. [NSW] Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi and Tsukikomori – 3,686 (new) 7. [NSW] Minecraft – 3,324 (4,277,487) 8. [NS2] Mario Kart World – 3,141 (3,031,357) 9. [NS2] Pokémon Pokopia – 2,837 10. [NS2] Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14 Complete – 2,797 (new) Hardware: Switch 2 – 28,341 Switch family – 7,559 PS5 family – 7,494 Xbox Series family – 158 Three things in the numbers. Rhythm Heaven Groove just crossed a million physical copies in Japan. It came out on 2 July, opened at 393,378, and it's still at number one ten weeks later. That's a Switch 1 game, sold in boxes, in 2026. Onimusha's split moved. Week one was 80% PS5. Week two is 73.5%, with Switch 2 climbing from 20% to 26.5% as the launch rush faded. Lifetime is about 122,750 across both. Switch 2 outsold the entire Switch family by almost four to one, and its Japanese lifetime is now 6.29 million.
@GermanStrandsJust finished Onimusha: Way of the Sword and man, this game is easily one of the best games out there. That final boss was brutal, I’m still shaking 😂 and those final scenes… goosebumps on top of goosebumps. Capcom, please never change. Just give us more Onimusha games! 🙏
