This Just In: Nintendo Doesn't Get It

I got called a cracker today because I told a black guy to try the black vending machine since the other wasn't working for him.

Actually, a cracker-ass cracker.

That's so you know you're not a soul cracker.

Galaxy is harder than NSMBW.

Only if you have problems with fake depth-perception. Mario Galaxy is stupid and booooring.

The platforming in Mario Galaxy is harder than the new super mario bros. I like both games, but I did get bored of Galaxy quite early on. I love how in the new super mario bros game you don't clip through one another. So double platforming with a friend (or my nephew in this case) becomes much more team oriented than two people just getting to the end flag.

Are you talking in terms of simply getting to the end? While I can agree that some some of the purple coin levels in Galaxy are harder than anything in NSMBW, I found finishing Galaxy to be a breeze.

Amazon just released their Top 20 Video Game Bestsellers for the year. Hold on to your asses.

01. Wii
02. Wii Remote controller
03. Wii MotionPlus
04. Wii Nunchuk controller
05. New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
06. Wii Fit Plus (Wii)
07. Wii Sports Resort (Wii)
08. Wii Fit (Wii)
09. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360)
10. Mario Kart Wii (Wii)
11. PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 controller
12. Wii Play (Wii)
13. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3)
14. Wii Wheel
15. Assassin's Creed II (Xbox 360)
16. Halo 3: ODST (Xbox 360)
17. PlayStation 3 120 GB
18. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)
19. EA Sports Active (Wii)
20. Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360)

So the Wii Wheel, that cheap bit of plastic that already came bundled with Mario Kart Wii, outsold Uncharted 2 on Amazon this year. And the Wii MotionPlus, which is currently mandatory for almost nothing and already came bundled with Wii Sports Resort, was a bigger seller for Amazon than the 120GB PS3.

It would appear that Nintendo does, indeed, get it.
