The May 2016 NPD report was issued earlier today. Unfortunately, there were no Nintendo titles in the top 10 – be it first-party or third-party. However, that hasn’t stopped the big N from issuing a statement pointing to success in other areas.

There’s big news for 3DS, as the system “recently passed 60 million units worldwide”. Nintendo also highlighted the success of 2DS in the United States following the price drop to $80.

May was a milestone month for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Having recently passed 60 million units worldwide, the current generation’s top-selling dedicated gaming platform welcomed an entirely new audience with a lower suggested price of $79.99 for the Nintendo 2DS system. This big value has already shown big results. According to the NPD Group, which tracks U.S. video game sales, in May the system saw a 38 percent sales boost over April and a 148 percent increase year-on-year – all after just one week at the new price.

Mini Mario & Friends amiibo Challenge has received a new update on Wii U. To download it, you’ll need 40MB of free space. The update brings Mini Mario & Friends amiibo Challenge to version 1.1.0.

We had previously heard that there were issues with the Skylanders Bowser and Donkey Kong amiibo in the game. There’s a good chance that the patch addresses those problems.

Thanks to Cameron for the tip.
