Super Mario Bros Wonderis the fastest-selling Mario game in history.
Earlier this week, Nintendo announced that Super Mario Bros Wonder had sold 4.3 million copies around the world in two weeks since launch, according to apresentationfrom president Shuntaro Furukawa (thanks,Game Developer). That makes it the fatest-selling Mario game ever made.
However, it’s worth noting that Nintendo is only considering sales from the Wii and Nintendo DS onwards, so it’s entirely possible that an older Mario game might have sold quicker than Super Mario Bros Wonder. Still, 4.3 million copies in two weeks is a fantastic achievement for the new game.
It probably also helps that the new Mario game reviewed incredibly well. You can check out our very ownSuper Mario Bros Wonder reviewto see why we showered the new game with praise and awarded it four and a half out of five stars.
