Super Smash Bros. Brawl video
Featuring more farting, fireballs, pink balls, elite soldiers, mythological boys, portly plumbers and space bounty hunters than you can shake a motion-sensing stick at, this video footage of Super Smash Bros. Brawl demands to be watched immediately. It's strange that Nintendo didn't blow the audience away with this during their initial press conference, but trite old sayings tell us that getting it now is much better than not getting it at all. Thank goodness for those.[Via Nintendo Gal]

March NPD Sales Chart reveals rampant heroine addiction
Though it's devoid of the actual numbers we know and love, the NPD group has released a list of the top 20 best-selling US games for the merry month of March. The list isn't terribly exciting, but it does reveal a shocking and unspeakable truth about Nintendo gamers. They've been purchasing copies of Metroid Prime: Hunters and Super Princess Peach, playing the games in grimy alleys, their depraved faces lit up only by the flicker of two LCD screens. All that for a shameful heroine fix. The Top 20 best-selling titles for March according to NPD: Kingdom Hearts II (PS2) Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (360) Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (360) Black (PS2) MLB 06: The Show (PS2) Fight Night Round 3 (PS2) Black (Xbox) The Godfather: The Game ( PS2) Fight Night Round 3 (360) God of War (PS2) Metroid Prime: Hunters (DS) Sonic Riders (GCN) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2) Super Princess Peach (DS) The Godfather: The Game (Xbox) Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (PS2) Fight Night Round 3 (Xbox) Gran Turismo 4 (PS2) 24: The Game (PS2) Burnout Revenge (360)

Metroid Prime Hunters video preview
G4TV has a video preview of the upcoming Metroid Prime Hunters, showcasing some of the other bounty hunters in the game, along with revealing a certain boss that Samus engages during her travels. While it's light on the content in regards to what's actually in the game (GASP!), all of the juicy multiplayer footage and cinematics should be enough to motivate you to head on over and check out the video. It's almost here; who else is preparing to slam on some chumps? Which bounty hunter are you most looking forward to try?[Thanks dragonjoe!]
Nintendo help for your fantasy baseball team
While we question the ability of McSweeney's to integrate classic Nintendo characters into a major-league squad, that's just the scouting report that's been released for this truly fantasy baseball roster.For instance, you've got a young shortstop who spends way too much of his time with "fairies" in Link and the token female pitcher (albeit one with a built-in arm cannon) in Samus, but these inclusions will always be overshadowed by that of the stocky plumber stalked by rumors of steroid abuse. Way to go, Mario.
Metroid Prime 3 video surfaces
The Revolution Lifestyle has posted a link to a video of some Metroid Prime 3 footage. This footage is the same that was shown last year at E3, yet instead of seeing Mr. Iwata narrate, we get The Regginator. So while the clip is indeed the footage that was shown at E3, this is clearly a different venue. Instead of showcasing any new footage, we're left to speculate as to reasons why this new video would surface with footage from last year. We envision a man, malnourished and shackled at the ankles, emerging from the depths of a dark dungeon, his eyes watering as he gazes to the sun for the first time in a year, finally managing to escape his captors and release the knowledge he had suffered for so long with to the public. Too bad pal, Nintendo showed us last year, looks like you suffered in vain. Clearly Nintendo is waiting for E3 to drown us in a tsunami of Revolution-related media and news, one that while it may very much exterminate our lives, we'd at least go down with a smile on our face.
