Hey, who doubted this one would be a hit? It’s Mario Kart.
At yesterday’s 74th Annual Nintendo Shareholder’s meeting, Nintendo announced Mario Kart 8 has sold 2 million copies worldwide in its first month of release. That is a lot of people getting mad about blue shells.
The public’s continued appetite for Karting is a big boon for the struggling Wii U, helping to quadruple system sales the week after release.
And it didn’t hurt Nintendo President Satoru Iwata any, either, as he was re-elected at the meeting despite Nintendo’s recent financial troubles.
