We already knew about this, but heres the official press release.
GRAPEVINE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GameStop, Corp. (NYSE:GME), the world’s largest video game and entertainment software retailer, today announced that it will host Super Smash Bros. Brawl video game tournaments at 2,500 of its U.S. GameStop and EB Games locations on Saturday, March 8, 2008. The tiered tournament program, which represents the largest in-store tournament event to date, is one of several events that GameStop will host surrounding the launch of Super Smash Bros. Brawl by Nintendo, available March 9, 2008.
Each round one tournament will provide players with an opportunity to “duke it out” one-on-one with other contestants in a single-elimination tournament to determine the 2,500 store winners. Many of the participating GameStop and EB Games locations will begin their tournaments at 10:00 p.m., local time; however, customers are encouraged to contact their local store to confirm the exact time of the tournament. All contestants must check-in at least thirty minutes prior to the start of play.

With adored icons and fun game play, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has shot to the top of the sales charts and is clearly resonating with the growing audience of casual gamers that want an engaging and accessible gaming experience. The market for entertaining games that everyone can enjoy is growing faster than any other segment in the industry, thanks in part to the explosive popularity of Wii and Nintendo DS. A key element of our growth strategy at Sega is to develop and publish games that appeal to this expanding market.”“(Will Mario and Sonic team up again?) There’s no concrete answer to that at this time. Obviously the first one has done fantastically well. The game is based on the Olympics and that’s still a good four months away, so this game is going to be out there and selling for a long, long time yet. I think we’ll take a look at it after that.”“(What’s next for Sega and Nintendo?) “We still have this great relationship and if anything, it’s been solidified and cemented by the success of Mario & Sonic. For both parties it reaffirms what we’ve been talking about for years, which is that collaboration would be a great, great thing. So we want to see how [the game] does throughout the rest of the year and through the Olympics timeframe in the summer. We really want it to be one of the biggest selling games of 2008.”
I actually kind of enjoy this game, it is not that bad, but 5 million copies! Wow, way to go Sega/Nintendo. Could we be seeing some more of the Sonic and Mario duo later on?
