Are you surprised? You shouldn’t. Since Wii Sports comes bundled with every console, it’s bound to sell like crazy. The now second best selling game of all time – previous champion – was Super Mario Brothers for the NES.

All of you readers are surely fans of The Legend of Zelda (heck, if you weren’t what are you doing here?), but a game with such a strange history can be confusing to fans, old and new, of this amazing series.

Out of the gate, Wii Music, hasn’t been so hot. 66,000 thousand copies have been sold thus far. When compared to the sales of other casual success story games, such as Wii Fit (I know that most of you readers are gamers, but you can’t deny the fact that it is selling well) has sold 487,000 copies.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple months, you should know about the economic crisis facing the world. Most of this can be attributed to the US and the sub-prime mortgage crisis. Most of you under 18, though, could probably care less. Although, if the economy tanks, how does Nintendo create games? Or what if they create them, but then have to sell them for extremely high prices just to turn a small profit?

What would you do if your family couldn’t afford games anymore? Would you cry? Would you even care?  Of course you would. Why come to a Zelda site and not care about gaming even a little? Well there is a bit of good news. Hit the jump to find out why.

With sales of Nintendo DS’s falling in Japan, new rumors are surfacing about a potential new system that may replace the DS as a true successor that could be released at the end of the year for Japan. Right now, even though the DS is booming in other territories, it’s falling in Japan, which could lead to an early launch of this new system to increase profits for Nintendo.

However, these falling sales figures might be less about the DS’s popularity and more about running out of people to sell them to.

An article on the subject can be found here.

If you weren’t aware, Nintendo’s been in a bit of hot water lately. Facing a $21 million lawsuit, it has been accused by Anascape (some company in, where else, Texas) of pirating their software and, as such, took Nintendo to court to make a quick buck. Don’t you hate it when people just sue at the slightest chance of making money?

Well, it seems Nintendo lost its case, as Judge Ron Clark, the district judge of the case, ruled in favor of Anascape, and is expected to announce a ban on both the Nintendo WaveBird and Classic controllers soon. Now, Nintendo will of course appeal this ruling, and can still sell the controllers until the appeal is tried, but the fact is that unless they do something they could be forced to pay this Anascape royalty fees for every Wii Classic controller ever made and that will ever be made.

I’m really getting tired of these retarded lawsuits. Anascape is in a different country, doesn’t even have a webpage… How could Nintendo even rip them off? Anyways, a more in-depth article can be found below, so check it out and begin priming your hate mail towards these people for threatening the production of the Wii to make some money.
