There’s good news for Nintendo and New Super Mario Bros. Wii coming out of Japan today. Famitsu and Enterbrain have just released the sales figures of the latest Mario adventure, showing how well it sold during its first four days in Japan. Let’s just say it did very well. I think 936,734 copies qualities for very well. Maybe even for extraordinarily well.

This sales figure now means that it is the fastest selling Wii game in Japan. The previous record holder was another Nintendo game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Its first week sales record was around 816,000 copies, according to Andriasang. That means New Super Mario Bros. Wii sold over 120,000 more copies.

Of course, this kind of success was already anticipated for New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Ever since the title was first announced, there’s been a great deal of buzz surrounding it. It would be surprising if the game didn’t set sales records.

If you’re still on the fence, trying to decide whether or not to buy New Super Mario Bros. Wii, be sure and check out the Gamertell review.
