Full February NPD US sales data will be coming in shortly, but ahead of the official announcement, Nintendo sent a press release detailing some of their own highlights for last month.

Nintendo reports that both the Wii U and 3DS increased in sales over February of last year; the Wii U grew by 180% and the 3DS by 25%.

Nintendo attributes increased sales of the Wii U in the US to the success of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Nintendo's follow-up to their popular platformer Donkey Kong Country Returns sold 130,000 copies (including digital and physical sales), and it was the number four best-selling SKU for February.

The 3DS's continued strong performance was due in part to Bravely Default, which was the number two best-selling game SKU for February. Nintendo reports that the game "improved on the launch of Fire Emblem Awakening by more than 10 percent, selling more than 200,000 combined units in just over three weeks." And Pokemon X and Y continued to go strong with 130,000 more copies sold, bringing the game's lifetime sales total to 3.4 million in the US.

We'll have full NPD data, including a list of the top 10 selling games, and which console came out on top overall, later today.

Triverse writes, "This is a series that is similar to how Fire Emblem was handled, North American gamers didn't get a taste till the early 2000's. Fire Emblem came over on the Game Boy Advance for the first time while gamers on this side of the pond had to wait for Sega's ill-fated Dreamcast to receive an official Record of Lodoss War game. Now, thanks to fans, the Super Famicom version of Record of Lodoss War is available in English."

GotGame: More franchises seem to be utilizing character creation in order to enhance the games experience like never before, such as Fire Emblem Awakening and Pokemon X/Y. Looking at this changing trend, a single question has been consistently nagging at me. Why is character creation becoming such a popular feature is so many genres?
