Nintendo has provided GamesBeat with a statement concerning this month’s NPD report.

According to the company, Wii U software sales in the U.S. have risen 10 percent through the first seven months of the year compared to the same period in 2014. That’s largely thanks to Splatoon, which is now sitting at almost 540,000 units sold in the region. As was announced last month, the game has sold close to 1.6 million copies worldwide.

“Much of [Wii U’s software] growth can be attributed to Splatoon, which inked nearly 85,000 total units in its third month to bring its lifetime total to nearly 540,000 total units in the United States alone. As of June 30, the game has sold more than 1.6 million total units around the world.”

Nintendo also shared the following regarding 3DS hardware:

“Through the first seven months of 2015, sales of Nintendo 3DS hardware have increased by nearly 35 percent over the same time frame in 2014.”

A couple of videos are now available for Splatoon’s new Rainmaker mode.

First, here’s some footage from GameSpot:

And an official video from the Squid Research Lab:

Speaking of the Squid Research Lab, here’s an official overview of Rainmaker:

Introducing…. Rainmaker! In Rainmaker, both teams compete to snag the, uhhh, Rainmaker. Once you’ve got it, the goal is to carry it into the other team’s base!

How’s it work, you ask? As soon as the battle begins, grab onto that Rainmaker! It’s guarded by a shield, though, so you’ll need to bust it out first. Once you snag it, head for the other team’s base. And be quick about it!

If you run out of time or get splatted, the Rainmaker will be dropped and its shield will also reactivate. The Rainmaker is crazy heavy, so you can’t Super Jump while carrying it. Hopefully your teammates will watch your back!

But don’t think the Rainmaker is just some shiny object – it can shoot ink like an Inkzooka. You can even hold to charge the Rainmaker up for an extra-powerful shot! The closer you get to the enemy base while holding the Rainmaker, the lower your goal distance will drop. If you retreat too far while holding the Rainmaker, it’ll explode sooner! If the battle ends without anyone carrying the Rainmaker to the goal, the team with the lowest goal distance will win.
