Skyward Sword was the Wii’s third-best-selling game from April-December.

Super Mario 3D Land topped the 3DS’s sales charts through December, selling 5.03 million units worldwide. The portly plumber’s latest outing arrived to a solid critical reception in November. December’s Mario Kart 7 posted a close second with 4.54 million units sold, while June’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D sold 2.49 million units.

On the Wii, Nintendo saw a strong performance from Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Launched in late November, Link’s latest action adventure sold 3.42 million units through December. That figure was good enough for a third-place finish on the Wii chart, behind Mario Kart Wii (4.91 million) and New Super Mario Bros. Wii (3.53 million).

Turning to the DS, Pokemon White/Black continued to put in solid numbers, topping the handheld’s chart with a combined 2.91 million units sold. New Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart DS followed, with 1.87 million units and 1.26 million units sold, respectively.

Steel Diver

Price: $ 12.95

Steel Diver sends 3D gameplay under water as players take control of three different submarines and explore the briny depths, avoiding mines, battling enemy ships, and fending off giant sea creatures. The action is controlled via the 3DS’s touch screen and internal gyroscope, but each vessel offers a different set of controls that gamers must master, and three different game modes help keep the action fresh. “Missions” mode is a fast-paced shooter that requires players to control their ship’s speed, depth, and pitch while they travel through branching underwater pathways, fire torpedoes at enemies, and use the stylus and touch screen to fix any leaks that arise. “Periscope Strike” uses the gyroscope to let players effectively take on the role of a periscope, rotating left and right to find enemies and fire torpedoes. And multiplayer fans can join a friend for “Steel Commander,” a top-down, turn-based strategy game in which two local gamers move submarine fleets around the map in search of enemy ships.

Lego Pirates of the Caribbean (XBox 360)

Price: $ 14.95

We also have the Playstation 3 version available in our Store for $14.95 with free shipping!

Incorporating characters, settings, and storylines from the first four entries in Disney’s blockbuster film series, this adaptation of Pirates of the Caribbean continues in the tradition of earlier LEGO games based on Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Harry Potter. Over 20 whimsical levels are included as players guide “minifig” versions of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann across locales based on Port Royal, Tortuga, Isla de Muerta, Shipwreck Cove, and Sparrow’s ship, the Black Pearl. Characters will engage in lighthearted swordplay against soldiers, skeletons, and other enemies while solving puzzles and interacting with objects in the environment. As with previous titles in the LEGO series, you’ll quickly assemble items throughout each area to reveal treasures, unlock secret areas, or to complete objectives. The action is once again viewed from a third-person perspective as up to two friends or family members work together on the same screen. Over 70 playable characters are included in total, with a “free play” mode allowing players to revisit their favorite scenes with their choice of heroes or villains.
