To put it in perspective, the GameBoy Advance reached the 500 Million Club in week 58 and the Nintendo DS didn&#8217;t reach the milestone until week 56.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nintendo&#8217;s press release paints an&nbsp;optimistic future for the handheld gaming system hinting at future releases. We&#8217;ll be waiting Nintendo, but keep in mind, Vita and Street Fighter x Tekken, Uncharted, and others are currently trying to get our attention. Check out Nintendo&#8217;s presser in our source link below, fair bit of warning, you&#8217;ll need to polish up on your Japanese (or hit up Google Translate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendo.co.jp\/corporate\/release\/2012\/120220.html\">Nintendo Japan<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/news\/201202\/20010214.html\">Famitsu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo 3DS Shatters Records!
