The continued success of Nintendo's DS handheld, combined with a weak yen, has resulted in the company raising its net profit projections for the year to March by 18 per cent.

Nintendo now expects a net profit of 100 billion yen (EUR 667 million), up from 83 billion previously projected.

The company expects to shift 82 million DS units along with 3.3 million GBA sales during the period.

Nintendo recently announced it expects to sell 10 million DS units in Europe by the end of the year.

Has anyone got a link to an article about GameStop having exclusive rights to playable Wii demo pods in the US?
Seems rather an odd thing to do if true.

Here's a Mii that I created from the new Flash Mii generator. I hope I'll be able to recreate this on Nintendo.

There were stories in the press a few days ago about how Toys 'R' Us don't want people waving the Wii controller around in store in case they hurt themselves or other people, so they'll just have non-interactive displays. I guess it's more to do with that than an exclusive deal with Gamestop.

Nintendo's pocket monsters reign are reigning supreme once more on the DS, with 1.5 million units sold in less than a week!

Since PokÃ©mon Diamond & Pearl were released on September 28th, the two copies have sold a combined total of 1,575,266 units, and this was just after five days of release. Breaking that figure down, 813,237 copies of Diamond were sold, while Pearl proved slightly less popular with 762,029 copies sold.

These figures are higher than any other PokÃ©mon release to date, and look set to only climb higher as time goes on.

Does anyone know what the US release date is for the new Pokemon? That's one I'm keen to import.

By the looks of it there is no release date for the US or Europe yet.

Never played any of the Pokemon series myself, although I'm beginning to get somewhat curious.

To put it simply, Mii Parade is a system that uses the network to allow Mii characters created by many people to mix and mingle. You can line up Mii characters in the "Mii Plaza", but at the start the only Mii characters you will find are those you have created yourself. Over time, however, using the WiiConnect24 system, other users' Mii characters can come and visit. In the same way, your Mii can make an appearance on someone else's Wii, although this won't happen unless the user has authorised it. The user can choose whether or not to allow their Mii to come and go on the network, so the only Mii characters that will appear on someone else's Wii are those where the user has permitted it.

Why did this make me feel excited?
