Super Mario 3D Land is 3DS's First 5 Million Seller

Wow. Mario prints money! And the game is amazing too.

Congrats Nintendo & Mario !
Seems like records are always getting broken with every Mario game so no surprise here.
Its not the shoes , Its In The Tail

and i still havent bought sm3dland

Somebody just gave Nintendo a free P-Wing, the game just flies off the shelves, LOLz!

@6ch6ris6 Time's-a-wasting!

Way to go Mario, 3D Land is RAD!

I have no idea why people love this game so much... I beat the game in 1 day and havent played since. Its my 2nd to least favorite mario title. ( my least is mario galaxy 2)

I think the 3DS would have sold much better had this game been ready for launch. 1/3 is an enormous amount but this game is almost single handily the reason to get a 3DS. OoT is 10 years old and Mario Kart 7 looks alot like Mario Kart DS. My 7 yr. old has been playing it every day for 10 days and my 9 year old when his brother isn't. Thank you Nintendo for having 3 save slots - I may even get to play it some day

I love SM3DL! I'm still playing through the special stages... The level design is just so good. Let's hope this new one comes much sooner than April, 2013.

Holy crap! This is awesome!

I got four games with my 3DS... Mario 3DLand, Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 7, and Bowser's Inside Story. I've beat them all except this, i just can't really get into it. I feel terrible about it....

#Classicgamer: "My least is Mario Galaxy 2." Well there's your problem, you're insane!

This was my actual reason to get a 3DS, even if I bought the system at launch. I had a lot of DS catching up to do, but the announcement of 3D Land sealed the deal for me.

I love EAD Tokyo's Mario games. To think this one has sold better than its two Wii siblings (the Galaxy games) in less time and with a smaller install base says a lot about their work.

Nice Depeche Mode reference

And nice job Nintendo!

@Classicgamer SMG2 is my all time least favourite. It felt too much like SMG1, at the point to where it it felt like a legit expansion pack.

Que the Mario flagpole victory theme! Nintendo pwns again!

i have 3D Land and its a good game but holy , 5 million!? Its a 3DS game thats out since November.

I don't dislike SMG2 but I like SMG1 a lot more. SMG 2 feels like one of those games that people like because they were told to like it. It is a good game but I don't think it is great. The levels are way less memorable then SMG 1. I'm working on the green stars at the moment.

And to be honest, I don't really want SM3DL much. It doesn't look interesting at all to me and every review I see praises it for something I don't want in a Mario game, a lot of references to past Mario games. I don't have much nostalgia for the series and I would rather see them try to do something new. From every demo I've played of this game, it feels like a giant step backwards. I'll probably get it someday but I have a lot of other games I want first.

I'm also partly disappointed because I was hoping for a 64/Sunshine/Galaxy type game that would show how much the 3D helps in making jumps in a 3D space with a camera you can move around and that probably won't be out for a long time now since they plan to release a 2D 3D Mario next. Maybe they'll make a Sunshine remake. It isn't really Nintendo's fault that they didn't give me what I was hoping for, I'm not really blaming them for that and going with a blend of 2D and 3D is an interesting idea but I think they did a good enough job with Galaxy 2 which had a bunch of 2D levels that still rewarded exploration with secret stars and such.

On the very last special stage
