Cartoon beat-em-up Super Smash Brothers Brawl on Nintendo Wii has been called one of the best computer games of the year so far, and with first day sales of 874,000 copies, and 1st week sales of 1.4 million copies it is also set to be one of the best sellers. It set a record in Japan, becoming the fastest selling Wii game ever with 1 million copies sold in eleven days.
It was always a game destined for stardom, Smash Brothers is an occult title, combine that with a fighting game using the Wii motion sensory controls, meaning to throw a punch in the game you throw a punch in real life, and you're onto a winner.
Mario Kart is the next big Wii release from Nintendo Games, which will be sold with a Wii steering wheel. That will be followed by the Wii Fit, a fitness suite for the Wii, which will include a balance board and will be released May 27.
Nintendo are also hinting at a major title to be released in June, but they are keeping their cards close to their chest; saying only that it will attract both hardcore and casual gamers alike. Some believe it will be the next in the long line of popular Zelda titles. Zelda features a princess in a fantasy land, and has been released in many shapes and forms and on practically every computer system for the last ten years.
