Club Nintendo members in Australia have a new reward to choose from starting today. Nintendo has added in a Mario hat, priced at 3,200 star points.
Nintendo says the reward “is a true-to-life replica of the iconic red hat worn by Mario.” For those curious, it’s made out of polyester and cotton.
News coming from today’s NPD report confirms that the Wii U had its best month in the US thus far in December.
Specific data isn’t available at this time. However, that statistic alone would put Wii U somewhere in the neighborhood of 500,000 units sold last month – perhaps a bit less.
If Nintendo decides to issue a response to today’s NPD report, we could receive more concrete sales information.
3DS took the top spot as the best-selling gaming system in the US last month, the latest NPD data reveals.
That’s not all though. We’re also hearing that the 3DS was the top-selling hardware for 2013 as a whole.
All seems to be well for Nintendo in the portable space. The situation is a bit more mysterious for Wii U, but it’s no secret that the console has struggled.
