despite what people say negatively about Pokemon, it always hits first in sales when a new one comes out. That's not done by kids or mediocre game play alone.

Yup, 45% of the millions of sold Wiis in Japan have also bought Wii Sports with it. That makes quite a lot...

This list really was a disappointment.. Except for Monster Hunter, but I'm a huge fan, so I love it when my favorite stuff does well.
I just hope this success earned Nintendo enough money to pay for that surgery to get their heads removed from their collective asses so they can see that their success won't last unless they make some solid titles, and none of this mini-game compilation bullshit.

Actually in Japan, Wii Sports is sold seperately. You can also buy it here in North America in case you lose or mess up your original copy.

He he he...

Nintendo PWNS the competition in Japan. Best of luck, Xbox360 & PS3. Sony better get some new ideas on how to survive, else they be left behind.

Micro$oft still has control & $h1tl04z of money, so even they are second best, they still deliver the goods.

This is imho, the way it has to be. ;D

Well, I also use my brain for "actual work", since I work as a programmer and just finished computer engineering university =) That being said, competitive pokemon play is awesome. I became surprised when I discovered how the "childish" Pokemon is, in fact, more deep and complex than most "adult" games out there.

Rhythm Tengoku Gold was incredibly disappointing compared to the original. I remember how bloody hard it was to find that GBA game in Japan, took me all day, but totally worth it.

Wii Sports on the DS?

lol? The anime series is dumb but the game mechanics of Pokemon are more complex than half the RPGs out there.

Serious Pokemon players are more intelligent than you think regardless of how repetitive the games are. Of course it'd be smarter for them to apply their brains to actual work instead of stat calculations but whatever, gamers will be gamers.
