Most surprising to me was the resurgence of New Super Mario Bros after all of this time. Now NSMB joins Mario Kart DS as a DS game returning to the top ten from seemingly nowhere!

Numbers are via the NPD and posted on NeoGAF. All sales are limited to the United States only.

I have to think that New Super Mario Bros is the most amazing story of last month, but then I realize that SO MANY DS's were sold in December and that this game is a necessity for any DS owner, that a resurgence isn't so unimaginable. Go N!
