Nintendo has responded to the September 2012 NPD report, which should be out in full within the next hour.

Specific hardware sales weren’t outlined, by Nintendo confirmed that 3DS software sales are up 89 percent year-over-year. That’s partially due to the release of New Super Mario Bros. 2, which moved over 295,000 units last month. Mario Kart 7, Star Fox 64 3D, Kid Icarus: Uprising and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D saw improved sales as well.

Nintendo additionally confirmed that Super Mario 64 DS has now obtained five million sales in the US. New Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart DS are the only other DS titles to reach this milestone.

On the 3DS, attendees can get their hands on software such as Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, Adventure Time, and Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion. The upcoming eShop game Crashmo will also be playable.

Head past the break for Nintendo’s full lineup and information about activities.


Head past the break for a bunch of news from Frozenbyte’s sales and marketing manager Mikael Haveri. Haveri comments on how supportive Nintendo has been with Trine 2: Director’s Cut thus far, shares more information on the Magic Mayhem mode (which won’t be ready for launch, it seems), discusses Miiverse, patching, and briefly mentions achievements on Wii U – of which he is “almost 100% sure that there will be some type of system.”
