March 2015 NPD: Wii U and 3DS hardware sales, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., and more
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS, News, Wii U | 23 Comments
The March 2015 NPD results were reported on Thursday. Nintendo neglected to share hardware sales, but we do have a couple of very close estimates. The family of 3DS systems sold roughly 260,000 – 270,000 units while Wii U moved about 80,000 – 85,000 units.
Aside from hardware sales, we have data for two 3DS titles that debuted in North America last month. Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. sold just 31,000 units, based on a figure provided by reliable NPD leaker “creamsugar”. Fossil Fighters: Frontier also launched last month and managed to sell roughly 35,000 copies.
That’s not all on the NPD front, as cremsugar shared a few lifetime U.S. sales figures for Wii U titles as well. Those are as follows:
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker – roughly 326,000 units
ZombiU – roughly 204,000 units
Bayonetta 2 – roughly 157,000 units
The Wonderful 101 – roughly 104,000 units
Unity support for New 3DS will be based on the engine’s most recent version
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Nintendo Life reached out to the folks at Unity in hopes of obtaining additional information about the engine’s support on New 3DS. The one notable piece of information obtained by the site is that when Unity comes to Nintendo’s handheld, it will be based on the latest version.
This was the full exchange between the two sides:
Is there a timeframe for this support to be active?
– We’re not ready to discuss release timelines currently.
Will this utilise the latest version (5.1) of the engine?
– New Nintendo 3DS will be part of the most recent version of Unity at the time of release.
Are there any plans regarding the original Nintendo 3DS models?
– Only support for the New Nintendo 3DS was announced.
Unity support was announced for New 3DS during the Unite 2015 Tokyo event in Japan earlier this week.

Game Informer was able to conduct an interview with Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi, Nintendo, and Monster Games about Xenoblade Chronicles. Takahashi was able to speak about the original game while discussing cut ideas like wanting to have the ability to fly. He also revealed Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai wanted Shulk in the Wii U/3DS games, and had the idea for the bathing suit skin. Other than that, there’s some Xenoblade Chronicles 3D-specific comments from Monster Games.
We’ve rounded up all of the various quotes below. For those that are interested, you can find Game Informer’s original article here.
