Along with casually confirming a Nintendo Switch successor, Nintendo also provided updated sales numbers for its hardware and software for the fiscal year ending March 31st 2024. It included sales for the latest Switch titles like Princess Peach: Showtime!, which launched on March 22nd and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, released on February 16th.
The former sold 1.22 million units, while the latter sold 1.12 million as of March 31st. As it stands, Princess Peach: Showtime! has already surpassed 2005’s Super Princess Peach, the last title to have the princess in a starring role. The latter sold 1.15 million copies in roughly 19 months on the Nintendo DS.
As for Mario vs. Donkey Kong, it launched in 2004 and sold 1.37 million copies worldwide as of 2021 on the Game Boy Advance. Whether Nintendo will bring its follow-ups, like Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! or even Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars to the Nintendo Switch remains to be seen.
