Wii U sold a disappointing 35,000 units in the UK for the month of January. Things weren’t any better in February – sales were worse, actually.
The latest data shows that Wii U sales stood at 25,000 units last month. Revenue also dipped from £1.2mm to £0.8mm. Year-to-date Wii U sales are now at 60,000 units and £2.0mm in revenue.
Amazingly enough, the Wii was Nintendo’s best-performing system in the UK for February, beating out the DS and even the 3DS.

Next Level on Mario Strikes and Punch-Out!! origins
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 0 comments
When you think about it, the fact that Nintendo allowed Next Level Games to make Super Mario Strikers was somewhat unexpected. The studio was a bit unproven at the time yet the Big N nonetheless allowed the developer to get its hands on some of the company’s most-beloved characters.
You might be wondering: how did Next Level’s partnership with Nintendo begin? It was actually the initiative on the part of Next Level that got the ball rolling. The team first decided to make a Mario soccer demo “with no direction from Nintendo”.
Read on below for comments from Next Level Games discussing how Mario Strikers as well as Punch-Out!! came to be.

[Video Feature] Eggbusters – The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess REVISIT
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Podcast Stories, Videos, Wii | 0 comments
Here we go: I’ve finally given in to your demands and jumped right back into the uber-crazy ‘Back in Time’ glitch from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Last time we explored it, we ended up in twilight-realm Kakariko Village playing as human Link, but the game froze when we went inside of a house and then left. This time? Stuff gets even crazier, which is hard to believe considering how ridiculous last time was.
