Average of 46,000 Sold Every Day in the United States; An Additional 52.9 Million Nunchuk Controllers Sold in the U.S.

REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 25, 2010 – Every day since the Wii™ system launched in November 2006, Nintendo has sold an average of 46,000 Wii Remote™ controllers in the United States. That’s a lot of people playing – and a lot of people playing together. Nintendo’s motion-controlled video games continue to create new players every day. People play Wii to try new experiences not available on other systems, including games like Wii Sports Resort™, Super Mario Galaxy™ 2 and Metroid™: Other M. Wii makes games more active, but it also makes them more social. Moms and dads play with their kids, and even grandma and grandpa join in.

Perhaps the best evidence of how Wii continues to expand the world of video games to new audiences is the total number of Wii Remote controllers that have sold. In the United States alone, more than 65.3 million Wii Remote controllers have sold through to consumers. This demonstrates that Wii owners like to play and they like to play together. They’re not the stereotypical gamers playing alone in their parents’ basement.

This information comes from Nintendo Power…

– Many big scripted events
– Giant screen-filling octopus hunts Donkey Kong through a full level
– The octopus has different attack strategies
– In co-op, if one player dies, shake the Wiimote to get the balloon-lifted barrel that your partner is in closer
– Tiki Tak Tribe use their hypnotic powers to turn the island’s animals against DK/Diddy
– They steal Donkey Kong’s stash of bananas, but it isn’t clear what they want with them
– Camera automatically zooms in/out based on what’s around
– Grip & Trip (World 4-2): Mine cart ride, sometimes have to hang from a patch of grass rolling on a rail above you
– Mole Patrol (World 4-4): Navigate through a tight tunnel in a Rocket Barrel as it is being dug, if you touch any side once, you’ll die
– Muncher Marathon (World 5-8): DK’s ground pounding angers a ton of spiders, need to keep running to stay ahead of them, chase goes on for awhile with little room for error
