Super Mario Maker has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide, Nintendo announced today. Additionally, over 2.2 million courses have been made thus far. Courses have been played nearly 75 million times.
“For Mario fans around the world, including myself, Super Mario Maker was a dream 30 years in the making,” Nintendo of America president COO Reggie Fils-Aime said of today’s news. “The game has captured and unlocked the imaginations of gaming fans of all ages and brought their dedication to Nintendo to a whole new level.”

Splatoon players have long been able to hack their game to make Octolings playable. However, a kernel exploit has now been made public based on an older Wii U firmware version, making it much easier for people to modify their Splatoon save files and play as the character.
Normally you wouldn’t expect this to have an impact on other players, but that’s definitely not the case here. Those who encounter such users should stay in the lobby until they leave, and then play one more match. Why? Well, doing so ensures that the game doesn’t put their hacked Octoling character into your Inkopolis Plaza. Because the Plaza isn’t programmed to handle Octolings, your game will crash whenever it tries to load them. This includes the title screen as well.
It might be best for you to back up Wii U save data to a flash drive to be safe. If you run into the issues mentioned above, you’ll need to wait until the plaza is cleared at the beginning of a Splatfest. Hopefully Nintendo will take care of things via a patch as well.
Armikrog is out now on PC, which means that a new trailer is available. It’ll sadly be a little while longer until the Wii U version is ready though hopefully the video below can tide us over until then.

A brand new update is now up for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS following its maintenance, and with it comes a new batch of DLC.
We’ve known for a while now that the brand new Super Mario Maker stage would be making its way to Super Smash Bros. as downloadable content, but also included in today’s update is a stage making its return from Super Smash Bros. Brawl – the Pirate Ship stage.
Along with the brand new Pirate Ship stage – which is available as DLC exclusively on Wii U – the Duck Hunt stage from the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. is now making its way over to the 3DS version.

- Business Suit
- Fox Set (StarFox) (Gunner)
- Captain Falcon’s Outfit (Brawler)
- Toad (Brawler)
- Viridi Set – Kid Icarus (Sword Fighter)
- Hunter Set – Monster Hunter (Sword Fighter)
As usual with the Mii Fighter costumes, you can buy them individually or as a bundle for a discounted price.
