SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL SMASHES NINTENDO SALES RECORDS
Wii Game Sells at a Rate of More than 120 per Minute
REDMOND, Wash., March 17, 2008 – After just one week on store shelves, Super Smash Bros.® Brawl for Wii has become the fastest-selling video game in Nintendo of America’s history. Since its launch on March 9, the feature-packed fighting action game has sold more than 1.4 million units in the United States, including more than 874,000 on March 9 alone. It has sold at a rate of more than 120 units per minute between launch and March 16.
“Super Smash Bros. Brawl has made the leap from video game to cultural phenomenon,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Game reviewers and the public alike praise its fun game play and extensive, inventive content.”
Super Smash Bros. Brawl features a nearly limitless variety of options for players. Dozens of classic Nintendo characters like Mario™ and Pikachu® are joined by industry icons like Sonic The Hedgehog™ and Metal Gear’s Solid Snake for all-out four-player battles. The endless customization keeps players coming back for more. The previous game in the series, Super Smash Bros.® Melee, became the best-selling Nintendo GameCube™ game of all time with more than 7 million copies sold worldwide, so it’s no surprise to see this latest installment racking up record numbers.

This really was not written by Mario. It was written by Greg Lockwood over at seamanticks.com.
Dear Nintendo,
We’ve been in a business relationship for quite a while now, and to be honest, I never used to have any complaints about my job. I mean sure, my line of work has never really been considered “easy” by any means, but in the early days it just felt so much more… rewarding.
Do you get what I’m saying guys? I wasn’t too fond of chasing a huge ape up a series of ladders, but with that fine-ass Pauline waiting for me, I didn’t mind. Same thing with running around Mushroom Kingdom, I don’t mind taking out a few Koopas since I know Peach is going to be waiting for me. (”At another castle”…God that joke gets so old)
Here is one of the prizes for the Winner of Nintendo’s official Wii tournament. (not the gamestop ones)

Multiplayer: I think people pretty uniformly love the games you guys make. And I think people pretty uniformly are getting tired of Sonic having so many friends in all of his games. I think that puts you guys and your team in kind of a funny spot. Do you think …
Ray Muzyka, General Manager, BioWare: Which people?
Multiplayer: Which characters?
Muzyka: No, which types of people complain about them?
Multiplayer: It seems like the “Sonic” series, which was beloved when it came out on the Genesis…
Muzyka: [smiling] I still have my signed Genesis, signed by Yuji Naka-san plugged into my TV and it still works and I still play it. It’s fantastic.
Multiplayer: As the series has gone on, people loved it, loved it, loved it, and, when it went to 3D, there was some grumbling. The games have been somewhat maligned by the critics since then. And one of the things you hear is “Oh, every time they make a new ‘Sonic’ game, they’re adding this character or that character. Now there’s Shadow and he’s got a gun… And then [Sonic]’s in love with human women who are bringing him back to life”…
If all those number from yesterdays NPD release, is making your head spin…No?..me either… Well then you can just check out the Analysis below to find out what the numbers mean to Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo.
This month’s NPD results leave us with a lot of unanswered questions, but one thing’s for sure — Nintendo has bounced back nicely from its post-holiday inventory drought. Remember, last month’s numbers brought Wii and DS down within spitting distance of their rivals. Sure, they were still in first place, but it was practically a statistical tie.
But they found their footing in February, and they’re back to selling unbelievable amounts of hardware — especially for this time of year. And Wii’s dominance is only going to continue. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
in March. Mario Kart in April. Wii Fit in May. It’s looking as if Nintendo’s supply situation with Wii isn’t going to resolve itself before 2009, at this point.
