I'm glad for it. The warriors games need as much recognition as they can get, IMO a woefully underrated series of games.

After playing Hyrule Warriors I agree.

See, you don't need the name after all. ;)

On a serious note though, Tropical Freeze and Wii Party U also have over a million without Zelda or Mario.

The moral of the story is 3rd parties simply need to make games with Nintendo IPs to achieve success on Wii U.

We saw 3rd parties using Nintendo IPs on Gamecube and OG Wii as well. Many became million sellers.

Third party games can sell without a Nintendo IP if they are desirable enough, as we saw with games like Monster Hunter Tri, Resident Evil 4, Sonic Colours, and Goldeneye 007 on Wii. Problem is, nearly all the third party games on Wii U are either low priority ports, or just lack broad appeal.

They should celebrate by making Mother Warriors.

You know how much Reggie will burn us if they do.

OT: They celebrated breaking 1M quite some time ago, but it's good seeing confirmation nonetheless.

I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Good numbers.
But I noticed that Gamespot changed the news from sold to shipped (which is correct), so I'm gonna change that part before others jump on that.
