The NPD reports that Kid Icarus: Uprising sold a total of 140k units in North America in the month of March. While that number is not gigantic, it is an impressive figure for a game that launched on the 3DS and only had eight days of sales in the month.
BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
From Zelda to Metroid, Nintendo Everything goes over the top five Nintendo franchises that have made the jump from 2D to 3D the best.
Nintendo has always been known for flaunting fine-tuned gameplay over full-blown narratives, however, Kid Icarus: Uprising literally flipped the script as it shined with its writing, story, and characters above all else.
That's a great number for only 8 days.
I am one of those:) It is an awesome game. I already have like 60+ hours online with it.
I hope we see a Kid Icarus Wii U game. Lady Palutena and Pit are great characters and they are up there with Zelda, Peach, Mario, and Link IMO.

Agreed, very enjoying.
Those are definitly very good sales numbers considering it only had just over a week of sales in that month. I would have been one of them too had i my 3DS with me. But ill buy it eventually. So not to worry. That sales number is guarunteed at least one more! xD
