Super Mario 3D World sold about 100,000 copies in Japan in its first week. According to Media Create, the game sold through 57.17 percent of its shipment. That means Nintendo must have shipped roughly 175,000 copies at launch – a somewhat low figure given the Mario brand, though perhaps understandable given the Wii U’s install base.

Neverland Co., Ltd. is no more. The developer was unable to raise funds to continue its business, and will therefore cease operations on November 29.

Neverland has been around since the days of the NES. Lufia and Rune Factory were two prominent Japanese IPs the studio was known for.
