Thanks to the latest leaks from creamsugar – a person who is known for having access to NPD data – we now know how many Wii U consoles were sold in the U.S. during the month of May. Between May 1 and May 30, Nintendo moved roughly 42,500 units. That’s essentially the same amount as Wii U’s performance in April, when the console’s sales came in at 43,000 units.

We also have data for a pair of 3DS titles. First, Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition sold under 32,000 copies in the U.S. last month. Meanwhile, Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker’s sales came in at under 23,000 units.

Amazon UK/Germany as well along with GAME Spain recently put up listings for a Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker amiibo bundle. This package has now been officially confirmed for Europe.

The Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker amiibo bundle contains a copy of the game and a Toad figure, much like the package that came to Japan earlier this year. It’s coming to Denmark on July 24, and it should be out in other European territories around the same time (if not on the same day).

As of now, we haven’t heard of any plans to distribute a Captain Toad amiibo bundle in North America.
