Nintendo did not distribute a response to the April 2015 NPD data yesterday, though the company did share a few figures with GamesBeat. The site was told that, though the first four months of the year, Wii U hardware sales are up 15 percent compared to the same period in 2014.

Unfortunately, that still doesn’t tell us much. But thanks to a chart shared by creamsugar – a person known for leaking NPD data – it’s looking like Wii U sold approximately 43,000 units in the U.S. last month.

Here’s a rough breakdown of the chart pictured above (note: Wii U takes up the position of 10.60 percent share):

Xbox One = 187,000 units
PS4 = 174,730 units
Wii U = 42,890 units

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition debuted in Japan on April 29. Media Create reports that the game sold 179,926 copies in its first week with a 45.77 percent sell-through rate.

Puzzle & Dragons Z was the previous entry in the series on 3DS. When it launched, the title sold 543,630 copies in its first week for a sell-through of 97.02 percent.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition may not have sold as much as “Z”, but retailers have indicated that both games primarily appeal to young 3DS owners. That suggests Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition could sell more units to those who purchased Puzzle & Dragons Z.

OXiAB Game Studio confirmed today that its Wii U game Canvaleon is coming to the eShop on June 18. That date should apply to both North America and Europe.

Canvaleon is a stealth platformer that has players using the environment and their skills to slip past enemies and threats. It’s possible to use “Camouflages” (or “Camo”) to mimic elements of scenery. The more similar the colors are, the more “Camo Percentage” will be granted. You’ll go undetected depending on the percentage.

Players can obtain camouflages in two ways. They can either purchase them from a store, or paint them using a paint tool. Both options require the game’s collectible: color butterflies.

As for the story, here’s a brief overview:

Canvas is the only white chameleon in a very particular chameleon village. Since he lacks the ability to change color by himself, he has been made fun of since birth. Also, his natural color stands out heavily compared with the environment, but he has managed to survive until now, thanks to the help of his only friend Doodle. Doodle (or “Dood” to his friends), being an artist himself, came up with the idea of using Canvas’ white body as a literal canvas for his paintings, making up Canvas’ lack of natural camouflage to some extent. But, to do so, Dood needs a lot of color butterflies, from with he extracts the pigments needed to create the camouflage for Canvas . So our adventure begins, with Canvas and Dood seeking the color butterflies in some ancient ruins near the village.
But the peaceful lives of the chameleons will change soon…

Check out a trailer for Canvaleon below.
