6 Wii U titles now past one million sold

Hidden away in all the mélange of doom and gloom that was Nintendo's latest earnings, the traditional million-sellers list was also updated. It may have not been a vintage year for Wii U, but a handful of its games passed the million mark against the odds.
Five Wii U titles sold a million units worldwide in the nine months between March 2013 and the end of December 2013. With Nintendo Land selling about 2.6 million units as of March 31st 2013, the million club on the system now stands at six.
Predictably, all the games were first-party titles. Whilst it seems a great injustice that the likes of Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101 did not join its Nintendo brethren, it was surprising to see the expansion title New Super Luigi U breeze past the milestone with such ease.
Here is the full list of games that sold over a million units in the three quarters, alongside life-to-date sales.
