'Super Mario Maker' reaches 1 million sales

Nintendo's latest Mario game, 'Super Mario Maker,' is already a major hit.
The console title has seen 1 million sales since its launch on September 11th for the Wii U.

Super Mario Maker is notable because it allows players to create their own Mario levels, and so far 2.2 million courses have been built. In total, the courses have been played 75 million times.

"The game has captured and unlocked the imaginations of gaming fans of all ages," says Reggie Fils-Aime, COO of Nintendo of America. The game has "brought their dedication to Nintendo to a whole new level."

I never tried it, but this increases the fun, because of the ease of use and the ability to "theme" multiple games.

I personally have never sat in front of a TV and made playing a video game a priority until now. I would play games in spurts. Got my Wii U last Christmas and was skeptical, but actually convinced my other 30-something friends to buy one too. Both of those guys are having a blast with a variety of games, especially this one.

Make me wonder what took Nintendo so long to release this killer app?
