3DS surpasses 20 million units sold in Japan, Splatoon over 1 million

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 3 Comments

This week’s Japanese sales numbers include two big milestones for Nintendo. One is all about hardware, and another applies to one specific game.

First, 3DS has sold over 20 million units in Japan. It’s also important to mention that Splatoon has now sold over 1 million copies in the territory. The game likely already reached that number with digital copies included, though Famitsu’s data officially confirms the figure with physical units. It’s a nice way for Nintendo to close out the year!

Japanese Hyrule Gold Edition New 3DS XL to include Hyrule Warriors Legends fairy costume code

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS, News | 0 comments

The Hyrule Gold Edition New 3DS XL will finally be launching in Japan next month. When it hits store shelves, the system will come with a little bonus.

Nintendo has revealed that a download code will be included for a classic Link costume usable with a fairy in Hyrule Warriors Legends. Note, however, that the game itself is not included.

We’ll probably be seeing this costume/DLC when Hyrule Warriors Legends heads west in March. It’s also unlikely that it will be exclusive to the bundle in Japan.

Splatoon Wii U bundle essentially sold out in Japan

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 19 Comments

Media Create mentioned last week that Wii U bundles have been helping move hardware units in Japan. The Splatoon and Super Mario Maker sets gave the system a big push in particular during the week of December 7, and that has continued since then.

Regarding the Splatoon bundle, this has for all intents and purposes sold out. Nintendo said on Twitter that it has reached the estimate quantity, so production/shipping has been ended. Consumers who are interested in the Wii U are advised to check out sets such as the ones featuring Super Mario Maker and Genei Ibun Roku #FE.
