Super Mario Odyssey is the “fastest-selling Super Mario game ever in the U.S.”

Pretend to be surprised… Super Mario Odyssey for the Nintendo Switch has sold in excess of 1.1 million units in the United States. According to Nintendo’s internal figures and metrics, Super Mario Odyssey is most definitely the “fastest-selling Super Mario game ever in the U.S.” It’s also apparently the fastest selling Switch game as well and one of the best reviewed titles of the the past few years.

Hopefully our review helped out a little bit, which you can check out here if you haven’t already.

See the press release below!

In just five days, the new Super Mario Odyssey video game for the Nintendo Switch system sold more than 1.1 million units in the U.S. alone. That makes it the fastest-selling Super Mario game ever in the U.S., surpassing the New Super Mario Bros. Wii game. Super Mario Odyssey is also the fastest-selling game so far for Nintendo Switch.

The game has already been enjoyed by well over a million people, and is likely to be enjoyed by many more, as those early players continue to spread their excitement for Mario. On Metacritic.com, which aggregates scores from certain reviewers, for example, the game currently has a critical review average of 97, with 43 perfect scores. This makes Super Mario Odyssey the best-reviewed game on Metacritic for any system of the last three years, tied only with Nintendo Switch launch game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

?The public continues to respond positively to Mario?s latest adventure,? said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America?s President and COO. ?We?re also seeing sales momentum for Nintendo Switch thanks to an ever-growing catalog of games from large publishers and indie developers.?

Nintendo has increased supplies of Nintendo Switch to meet demand through the holidays. The total number of Nintendo Switch systems sold in the United States through the end of October now stands at more than 2.6 million.
