Super Mario Maker Drives Wii U Sales Up 110% For September!

Posted on October 21, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

Mario Maker
Sales of Nintendo’s current generation platform, the Wii U increased an impressive 110% when compared with August 2015. Nintendo attributes this absolutely impressive uptick in sales to the release of Super Mario Maker which has moved over 500,000 units in the U.S.A since launching on September 11th. To quote Nintendo’s press-release, since they put it best: Perhaps the biggest impact however has been on hardware sales.

With the release of Stella Glow set for November, Atlus has announced that they will release a demo for the game. The demo will give gamers a taste of the game’s combat, voice acting, cutscenes and soundtrack.
