Nintendo said in its NPD response earlier this week that thus far in 2015, Wii U hardware sales are up by more than 20 percent over sales in the same period last year. But how many units were actually moved in the U.S. last month? It’s currently estimated that sales fell somewhere between 94,000 and 96,000 units or so.
That’s a bit better than January, in which Wii U sales came in at around 64,000 units. It’s also slightly higher than last February’s figure of 82,500 units.
CNET has a few new quotes from Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America.
The site begins its article by mentioning that Nintendo’s franchises and games remain relevant today. Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, a remake of the N64 game, topped the U.S. charts in February.
Fils-Aime said that “Nintendo has always put out content that is lasting and is content that the consumer plays for extended periods of time.” He additionally mentioned: “In this games business, the axiom is that software drives hardware, and we’ve seen that over our 30+ year experience in this category.”
Playtonic Games has shared the first couple of screenshots from Project Ukulele. You can find them below.
As shared at EGX, there will be plenty of collectibles, secrets to discover, and special moves for the different characters. By collecting pages, the world scope increases.
We’ll be seeing a Kickstarter for Project Ukulele in May. The game will still happen even if the campaign fails, though funding will allow it to grow. amiibo was name-dropped as well, so that sounds like something the team would be open to!
Playtonic has just kicked off a presentation at EGX to talk more about Project Ukulele, the new platformer from former RARE staffers. We’ve posted it after the break due to auto-play.
