Yes that was a reference to the old school jingle for Flinstones vitamins…But I digress…

Nintendo has officially announced that six of its first party-published titles for the Wii have sold more than a million copies world-wide. Drum roll please… And they are

Wii Sports - 11.1 Million sold (The game is bundled in every Wii system except in Japan)
Wii Play - 6.3 Million sold
Mario Party 8 - 2.9 Million sold
Big Brain Academy - 1.8 Million sold
Mario Strikers Charged - 1.3 Million sold

The sixth title is Twilight Princess, which a total figure was mysteriously missing. I can only hope that the “incorruptable” Metroid makes an appearance on this impressive lost, along with everyone’s favorite plumber, Mario after he is released. Good news for the Big N, but do you guys think they should include Wii Sports in the list…I mean it does come with the system in most parts of the world.

Will Wright, who is famous for creating the ultra-popular Sims franchise, had the following to say in regards to the Nintendo Wii and Spore:

“Somebody asked me what I thought next generation meant and what about the PlayStation 3 was next generation. The only next gen system I’ve seen is the Wii – the PS3 and the Xbox 360 feel like better versions of the last, but pretty much the same game with incremental improvement. Bu the Wii feels like a major jump – not that the graphics are more powerful, but that it hits a completely different demographic. In some sense I see the Wii as the most significant thing that’s happened, at least on the console side, in quite a while…We’re doing Spore on the Wii, and we did MySims”

My Thoughts:
You guys may have already heard this news at one point today but I don’t think we fully realize just how positive this is….That is if they decide to deliver. It’s one thing to say that the Wii is the only true next gen system, but it’s another thing to back it up with some quality titles. Now I know Spore will be absolutely crazy, but how about giving us the exclusive rights to the title?

Believe me I am not complaining by any means, I guess I am just being a little impatient. What do you guys think about this news?

Best. Song List. Ever… Man I cannot wait until SUNDAY! I will look forward to playing you all online! I know it’s $90 gamers but trust me, it’s well worth it.
