REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– When you hear a catchy tune, you probably find yourself tapping your fingers in rhythm to the beat. If you can do that, you’ll be a natural for Rhythm Heaven™, a new game that is now available for the portable Nintendo DS™ system. Rhythm Heaven asks you to tap, hold and flick your stylus on the touch screen as you keep the beat in more than 50 rhythm-based mini-games. It’s hard not to crack a smile as you enjoy the game’s unique visual style and infectious game play.
“Rhythm Heaven represents another example of how Nintendo creates new experiences that surprise and delight people,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The game exudes a simple charm and captures an endearing quality that makes it very appealing to all types of players.”

Deep in the forest there was a pretty little bakery with a bright red roof.
The name of the shop was Happy Bakery.
The baker was a pretty little girl called Rue, with such a passion for bread that even her hair looked like a fluffy bread roll! But Rue has been finding it hard to manage the shop all by herself, so recently she’s decided she needs a helping hand.
“If only there was someone who loved bread as much as me…”

DSi the fourth fastest-selling console in UK based on weekend sales
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 3 Comments
GfK-ChartTrack data shows that the DSi is now the fourth fastest-selling console in the UK. The system, which launched in Europe on Friday, managed to outsell the PSP, PS3, and Xbox 360, and original DS based on weekend sales.
“It’s a very impressive opening couple of days considering the lack of launch software. It’s the fourth fastest-selling console in UK history in terms of opening weekend – one ahead of the original DS in fifth and way ahead of DS Lite. It’s difficult to tell if the momentum will continue into the week, as much of the sales would have been pre-ordered. There was also a slight spike in DS software.” – GfK-ChartTrack’s Chris Poole
Nintendo not too concerned with sales slowdown in Japan

“It is still the first few months of the year when sales are slow for the industry so we are not particularly concerned. We hope to line up strong software to support hardware sales in the second half of the year.” – Nintendo spokesperson
If I were Nintendo, I wouldn’t be concerned either. I would expect that sales will continue to be strong and pick up in the future with significant software releases, much like this spokesperson said.
