Stiq Figures, March 4 - 10: NCAA Basketball edition

By Mike Suszek
Welcome to Stiq Figures, where the sales data is after the break and the posts don't matter. Every week, we take a look at, uh, something – meanwhile, the previous week's Japanese hardware sales figures are posted after the jump, and a discussion of said figures takes place in our comments. It may not be conventional, but it's a time-honored Joystiq tradition.

Okay, we weren't fair with last week's game trailer selection, as NCAA Final Four 99 isn't quite representative of the great college hoops games of the past. To make up for it, we're watching gameplay video this week of Nintendo's own SNES college basketball game, appropriately titled NCAA Basketball. Join us in looking back with fondness to a time when the system's Mode 7 tech would allow a rotating court in the midst of blue chaos to look so awesome.

We know what you're thinking: Two weeks of NCAA basketball talk just because it's Selection Sunday? That's why it's known as "March Madness," friends. Now fill out those brackets!
