The 3DS has sold over 5 million units sold in the US, according to Nintendo. That statistic is based on data collected by NPD Group.

Other notable updates include:

• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D became the third Nintendo 3DS title to sell more than 1 million units, joining Super Mario 3D Land (2.1 million units sold life to date) and Mario Kart 7 (1.75 million units sold life to date).
• For the month, two of the top five and nine of the top 25 best-selling software SKUs play on Nintendo platforms.
• For the second month in a row, Nintendo held a 75 percent market share for portable hardware in the United States.
• Nintendo sold more than 400,000 total hardware units in June and saw double-digit growth across each of its product lines compared to May. This includes more than 155,000 Nintendo 3DS systems, more than 150,000 units of the Nintendo DS family of systems and nearly 95,000 Wii consoles.

Australia’s classification board, the OFLC, has rated Picross E. The downloadable game came out on the Japanese eShop last year.

Picross E was given a Q2 2012 release quarter several months ago. Maybe this rating is a sign that the title will be available soon?

In case you haven’t heard, Mutant Mudds is officially heading to the PC. There’s a “Grannie Edition” in the works that offers 20 original levels not found in the eShop release.

The question is, will this content be made available to 3DS owners?

Says Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham:

“Many are asking if the 20 new levels in the special ‘Grannie Edition’ of Mudds coming to PC will make their way to the eShop. It’s possible.”

So normally when we see patents from Nintendo, they have to do with bicycles to ride while playing Wii or footballs you can pretend to throw while pretending to be Brett Favre playing pretend quarterback in a pretend football game. This time, however, some (relatively) neat and potentially useful features for the 3DS have been patented.

1) System Updates via Download Play

The first patent filed would allow you to download system updates from another 3DS that has more contemporary firmware than you simply by checking a box before playing a game via download play. This is especially useful for kids who can’t access the internet on their device, or others who perhaps don’t have or have trouble connecting to the internet on the 3DS.

2) Hidden Storage of Download-Play Titles

Patent number 2 relates to download play as well, but this time it’s regarding the games. The idea is that, when you’re done playing a game via Download Play with someone, the data is actually continually stored on your 3DS in the background so that next time you want to play, you need not re-download the whole thing. Of course, I doubt you’ll be able to access the game short of actually playing with someone who owns it, but some games have terribly long download times (cough Plants vs. Zombies), so this will definitely come in handy if it’s ever implemented.

No word on whether these will ever happen or even if they’re actually in the works, but here’s to hoping!
