The people have spoken -- Nintendo wins!

It is no surprise to see that Nintendo has been kicking ass. The above chart displays Nintendo's progress before the Wii was announced in 2004 and their future estimated stock prices. We think the 105.2% jump should swing you over to our side if you ever doubted us before. We would like to see Sony's estimated stock prices compared to this. Maybe we could get a glimpse by flipping the chart over?

We jest Sony. we jest ....

With the tag team duo of New Super Mario Bros. and the DS Lite, Nintendo posted a 72% profit gain during fiscal second quarter. Given the news, Nintendo's net income reached 38.8 billion yen (or $327 million US) and increased their shipping forecast for the DS Lite yet again to 20 million units (from the 17 million previously established). Shipments of games will increase to 82 million from the previously-established 75 million.

[Note: We understand it isn't a DS Lite in the graphic, but we just couldn't help ourselves. That image never gets old ... ]

The "correct" Dead 'n' Furious trailer

Are you among the chosen few who laid eyes on the "leaked" footage earlier this year from Dead 'n' Furious? You remember that little debacle, with the hair-raising video. Oh, not hair-raising scary. It was just ... shall we say ... not so good? But Dream On Studio promised a "real" video later this year, and here it is. Tell us what you think. The video is nestled away after the jump.

And here's a question -- if you're a convict and you pick up a buddy (via WiFi coop mode, which does sound like an awesome feature), just what exactly is your friend? A prison guard? Serial molester? Do you get to pick? These questions are totally valid ....

Kirby Squeak Squad gets Japanese commercial treatment

In this brief 14 second commercial for Kirby Squeak Squad, we get an up-close look at some of Kirby's new abilities available in the game. In getting a glimpse of the pink consumer of all things with his spiffy badger/wolverine/whatever suit, it only helps strengthen our desire to get ahold of the game.

As usual, video is embedded into the post after the break.
