Today, Nintendo revealed that its recently-released Wii U exclusive – the eagerly-anticipated Mario Kart 8 – had a stellar first weekend on the market. The game sold over 1.2 million units across the world, from North America, to Europe, to Japan, making it a bona fide commercial hit. The game launched on May 29th in Japan, May 30th in North America and Europe, and May 31st in Australia.
Interestingly, this marks a continuation of Nintendo and its partners releasing quality software on the Wii U. Mario Kart 8, according to Nintendo, is the 14th Wii U game to launch in the US with an 85 or higher on Metacritic. As for IGN, we absolutely adored Mario Kart 8, giving it a 9.0.
