New Super Mario Bros. (for Nintendo DS) might not have appeared on last week’s Japanese top-20 sales chart, but it’s been making sales progress in Japan nonetheless.

 

Today, Famitsu reported that the four-year-old game has sold over six million copies in Japan alone. This is according to Enterbrain’s sales tracker. Enterbrain is Famitsu’s parent company.
