Number of purchases: ~162,000
Average purchase: $9.74
Top three contributors: Anonymous ($300), 13AM Games ($251), Nintendo’s Damon Baker ($250)

Nintendo first gave Humble Bundle a shot last May, and returned to the service a couple of weeks ago with the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle. There was quite a bit of planning involved, as Humble Bundle co-founder John Graham told Nintendo Life that talks about a second promotion began right after the first one drew to a close.

He said:

“I think right after the first promotion ended, and we had seen over $750,000 come in for developers and charity across 82,000 purchases in two weeks, we began trading ideas and plans for the next promotion.”

Graham also mentioned that he hopes to see Nintendo bundles “continue to blossom into a more frequently recurring tradition.” Aside from that, he noted that his “expectations have been exceeded” with the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle.

The Humble Nindie Bundle offer has now come to an end. All in all, it did quite well.

Just before the bundle offer ended and the main page refreshed, I noticed that nearly 82,500 digital packages were sold. Additionally, the average price paid came in at $9.18. Based on that information, the Humble Nindie Bundle should have generated somewhere around $750,000.

Nintendo of America’s Damon Baker was the top contributor with $500. PlayEveryWare came in second with $225, followed by Choice Provisions at $200.

You could say that this initiative was a success, so hopefully we’ll see more Humble Nindie Bundles in the future.
