Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

Nintendo issued a press release announcing that Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze had managed to sell over 130,000 units in eight days following its launch last month. These sales figures include both retail and digital copies of the Kongs’ latest adventure.

According to Nintendo, the launch of Tropical Freeze helped boost Wii U sales by a whopping 180 percent in comparison to February 2013. In addition, Nintendo attributed the launch of Bravely Default to the 3DS’ 25 percent increase in sales from last year.

I found Tropical Freeze to be an absolutely awesome platformer, so I’m definitely stoked about the game pushing 130,000 copies in just over a week. Good for you, DK!
