The Ghost of RubangB on 15 November 2008

I remember my dear old mum going to a million stores to find me Donkey Kong Classics back then. It was sold out everywhere. I was like "But mooooom, it's got Donkey Kong AND Donkey Kong Junior on the same cartridge!"

And then the SMB3 Christmas was even crazier. I remember running outside with the rest of the world chanting "Mario! Mario! Mario!" and we were in the shape of a giant Mario face across North America. I think it inspired a commercial.

I remember that day. I got trampled and had three of my ribs broken. They didn't show any of that in the damn commercial...

The Wii is the NES of the 2000s! I think the supply constraint could be even worse this year than in 88'.

As for the Wii beating the NES in sales.......it will next year, by Q4. I can't believe it.
