Nintendo has announced details on how pre-orders for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U have surpassed Mario Kart 8’s record.
While being interviewed by Bloomberg, Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime had the following to say on this recent detail:
“The launch of Mario Kart 8 has essentially doubled our Wii U sales year-on-year. Our expectation is that the sell-through for Smash is going to be very strong, certainly on par with what we saw with Mario Kart 8. We think the impact on hardware will be similarly dramatic.”
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS has already sold 3.22 million copies by the end of September, and also sharing in the launch of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U are the Amiibo figures which Nintendo hopes will help boost sales.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be released on November 21st exclusively on Wii U. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is available right now for 3DS.
