well deserved.
i wonder if the zelda bundles are also included in these numbers. i bought the zelda edition on saturday

Kevlar0093737d ago

Usually bundled games are included in software sales(It's why Wii Sports is the best selling game at over 82 million)

Nintendo announced that Wii U releases The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Wii U Party and Super Mario 3D World titles each sold over one million units.

Boy does the Wii U deserve this at minimum. A game such as SM3DW deserves to reach a far wider audience, truly a masterful experience. Wind Waker HD - for those unlike me who didn't play the Gamecube version to death - (again) deserves huge recognition. A truly unique and bold Zelda adventure.

I truly hope the Wii U reaches more homes and doesn't suffer the fate the equally great Dreamcast did, people only bemoaning its fate once it was too late.

Chris5583737d ago

it is nintendos fault for selling overpriced machine which is stuck beetween ps3-ps4
region locking with shitty netcode with worse than ps2
no account system
confusing name for casuals Wii-U + almost no marketing everybody i know has no clue what is wii U they think its an addon
gimmicky controller which is being dropped even b ninty first party games (donkey kong country freeze for example)
in first 6minth it had almost nothing to play
with all that said nintendo still makes amazing games and I will buy one when they drop the price to 100-150€

@higgins78 I agree. I missed Windwaker on the GC and I am loving the Wiiu version. Mario World 3D is another great Mario game and im loving it too. Im suppressed Wii Party U hit these numbers but I also own it and its great fun for the family and when friends come round.

Lets hope 2014 is a good year for the sales of the Wiiu as I also agree it is a very underrated console and deserves good sales just like the other 2 consoles do too.

Wii U gamers are happy gamers ;)

ape0073737d ago

great news, hopefully they sell much more

Games_R_Us3737d ago

Hmm, disappointing only 1 in 5 Wii U owners technically got Mario 3D Land, was expecting at least half. Maybe some more marketing on that title would help as its brilliant, hell I gave it a 10/10!

Loadedklip3735d ago (Edited 3735d ago )

It's actually 1 in 3 or 33% ...

1.94 million Mario 3D World sales to 5.89 Wii U owners.

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno76d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

FinalFantasyFanatic107d ago

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast106d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul106d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

Zelda Fan Brings Godzilla to Life in Tears of the Kingdom

A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.

Knightofelemia144d ago

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
