The site begins its article by mentioning that Nintendo’s franchises and games remain relevant today. Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, a remake of the N64 game, topped the U.S. charts in February.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 14 Comments

Speaking with Forbes, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime shared more information regarding the 3DS’ strong success in the U.S. during the month of February.

We learned a couple of days ago that 3DS hardware sales are up 90 percent year-over-year. Fils-Aime also revealed that the handheld sold more units this February than the past two Februaries combined.

The New 3DS launch was the main catalyst behind the 3DS’ overall boost last month, and Fils-Aime noted that the system drove sales because “consumers are always looking for a reason to upgrade.” Nintendo believes that “making ongoing improvements to a hardware system really pays longterm dividends”.
