					    	<description>&lt;p&gt;Does having a moustache instantly put you in the category of Mario lookalike? That&#039;s today&#039;s burning question. And we&#039;re going to answer it. Right here. Right now. To find out, we took 20 images of famous real-life men with moustaches and stuck Mario&#039;s hat on them. But before we share the results of our Photoshop experiment, let&#039;s have a close look at the Nintendo mascot&#039;s trademark &#039;tache.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Mario&#039;s moustache: A close ...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

But you have to admit, the past year has been rather trying for longtime followers. Last year&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;surprise&amp;#8221; reveal of Wii Music at E3 just about made our heads explode, and the continued domination of Wii Play and Wii Fit have us preemptively bracing for the worst possible outcome at next week&amp;#8217;s massive trade show in Los Angeles (which we&amp;#8217;ll be updating from every six seconds). ...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Dave Bondi&#039;s AKASHI figure is a great smash-up of two of the worlds most noticeable characters, Mickey and Mario.  The physical features of both melt together seamlessly as each lend a &amp;quot;hand&amp;quot; into creating something new.  AKASHI stands a proud 9? tall and is limited to only 200 pieces.&lt;br/&gt;</description>

Only a few of these actually survive the brutal, razor-sharp scrutiny and testing we put them through, and emerge as the fine cheat flavored paste that we put onto CheatPlanet.&amp;#160;Most of the leftovers we just throw away, flush them down the internet tube never to be seen again. However, there are a few exceptionally stinky cheats that we feel ...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

In addition, after roughly a year of the world&#039;s best selling handheld console being absent from the South African market, Core Group relaunched the Nintendo DS Lite.
 &lt;br&gt; 
 &lt;br&gt; The media briefing was presented by RJ van Spaandonk, the executive director of Core Group. RJ outlined the upcoming Wii releases, detailed the Nintendo DS Lite relaunch information and discussed the success that the Nintendo Wii has enjoyed in South Africa since its launch here in October 2007.
 &lt;br&gt; 
 &lt;br&gt; The Nintendo DS Lite was relaunched in South Africa and will soon be available in stores. It will retail at R1 799 and is available in four colours: black, white, silver and pink.&lt;br/&gt;</description>

 &lt;br&gt; 
 &lt;br&gt; 1. Wii Sports: 11.1 million
 &lt;br&gt; 2. Wii Play: 6.3 million
 &lt;br&gt; 3. Mario Party 8: 2.9 million
 &lt;br&gt; 4. Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree: 1.8 million
 &lt;br&gt; 5. Mario Strikers Charged: 1.3 million
 &lt;br&gt; 
 &lt;br&gt; IGN has apparently made an error and omitted the sixth title.  According to user comments at IGN and Wikipedia, the missing title could be either The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (3.61 million), Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (1.82 million), or Super Paper Mario (1.74 million).&lt;br/&gt;</description>

The title has now sold over 550,000 copies since its launch in the United States on May 29th. &amp;quot;The overwhelming response not only reminds us how much fans absolutely love the Mario Party franchise but also proves the unmatched ability of the Wii system to attract new players,&amp;quot; says George Harrison.&lt;br/&gt;</description>

					    	<description>Thanks to its staggered - some may say relentless - release dates, every year since 1998 has been a Mario Party year somewhere in the world. Some years have even been multi-Party years, and while few of the many hundreds of minigames that comprise Nintendos critically maligned - yet hugely successful - series have been particularly memorable, the age of the Mario Party has rarely been dull.

The very first N64 version included the Minigame Island mode, which was a compilation ...&lt;br/&gt;</description>

You should know, however, that these deaths do not make up every death Mario&#039;s succumbed to in the last 26 years. That would just be too much for us - the bereaved - to handle.

Mario Party returns, finally on the system it was meant for. If you ever cared for the Party series, then there&#039;s no reason the newest entry won&#039;t bowl you over. There are over 70 minigames crammed into the disc, and hey, a handful of them you can even play with your Miis. To keep the fanatics playing, you&#039;ll earn Carnival Cards that can be ...&lt;br/&gt;</description>

Has a whole year away from the virtual board game been enough time to rekindle the world&#039;s interest? Do Wii controls warrant another look for people who&#039;ve spent the past eight years bashing the A and B buttons to steal other players&#039; coins and stars? We nabbed a giant TV and four eager editors to see how Mario&#039;s latest party stacks ...&lt;br/&gt;</description>

 &lt;br&gt; 
 &lt;br&gt; Featuring classic party-goers Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach, Mario Party 8 also welcomes some new faces to the series, including the Hammer Bros. and Blooper - although we don&#039;t know how the well squid will perform when it&#039;s out of water.&lt;br/&gt;</description>

According to the list - which was swiped from financial documents by IGN - Nintendo will release its three big hitters: Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Super Smash Bros.

					    	<description>So, Mario, weve got another one of your crazy parties to look forward to. Lucky us. What they ought to do is tie in the release date to Marios actual birthday, whenever that may be, and make it a collectors item. Theres a Mario Party every single year anyway, so why not dress it up as a special occasion instead of just another update of a series that seems to have long since lost its shine?

Actually, since its on Wii and promises a whole new way of playing an annual multiplayer gaming concept ...&lt;br/&gt;</description>

 &lt;br&gt; 
 &lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;Could the Wii be a short-lived fad? Not likely, but impossible to rule out. Could its converts - people with almost no previous gaming interest - turn out to be a relatively small pool of consumers? Sure.&amp;quot;
 &lt;br&gt; 
 &lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;The &amp;quot;mom&amp;quot; factor shows signs of emerging as a Wii theme. Before the console launched, there was considerable speculation about whether the Wii could draw in meaningful numbers of new women players. But consider this tale from the blogs:

 &lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;I also brought my Wii console home for Christmas, and my mother, who I have never seen try any game except for &#039;Tetris&#039; in her life, after seeing what my brothers and I were doing, asked to play some &#039;Wii Sports&#039; tennis! It was definitely a moment to get out the camera and take a picture!&amp;quot;
 &lt;br&gt; 
 &lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;I thought she would enjoy it and then let others play. No! She proceeded to play game after game for over an hour! I have been completely amazed at how the Wii brought that out of her (finally!) and how she can now appreciate my love for gaming.&amp;quot;&lt;br/&gt;</description>

Instead the guys at EGM say that Mario Party is now slated for a summer launch.&lt;br/&gt;</description>

					    	<description>With WarioWare having come and gone in a puff of multiplayer disappointment, Wii owners begin to eye up the next potential party smash hits. Mario Party, certainly out of favor since, oooh, its second outing, seeks to feed the party beasts - and with every new info-burst, we grow in ...&lt;br/&gt;</description>

Check them out below then hit the images tab for the rest. Of course, being on Wii, the focus will be on gesture-based minigames, much like in Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. Only this time you&#039;ll get to play simultaneously with three other people - much ...&lt;br/&gt;</description>

					    			<description>&lt;img src="http://m2.n4g.com/8/News/18000/18226_hs.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hot on the heels of the European launch of the Wii, when Nintendo shifted some 325,000 units over the first two days, the company has announced the first post-launch wave of new releases for the system. The 26 Wii games Nintendo expects to ship in the first quarter of 2007 include WarioWare: Smooth Moves on January 12, Excite Truck on February 16, Kororinpa on February 23, and Mario Party 8 in March. 
 &lt;br&gt; 
 &lt;br&gt; The Nintendo DS will be getting a massive 67 titles added to its European library over the first three months of next year, including Children of Mana on January 12, Star Fox Command on January 26, Actionloop on January 26, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All, as yet undated but due sometime in the first quarter. 
 &lt;br&gt; 
 &lt;br&gt; Nintendo has not yet listed the GameCube and GBA release dates. The full release schedule for the Wii and DS follows...&lt;br/&gt;</description>

					    			<description>&lt;img src="http://m2.n4g.com/8/News/16000/16408_hs.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America president, is a man on a mission. His mission is to sell the red-hot Nintendo Wii and make sure people who have them love them.
 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;Are we feeling good about our success? Do we think we can have more success in the future? Absolutely,&amp;quot; he said during a stuffed 40-minute interview with MTV News in a hotel just south of Central Park. &amp;quot;I do think that highlights a difference between us and our competitors: We&#039;re not arrogant. We don&#039;t view success as a right. We feel we need to earn success every day. And we&#039;re going to do that by being true to the gamer.&amp;quot;
 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In the same hotel 51 weeks ago, Fils-Aime gave MTV News an early handle on the Nintendo Wii controller (see &amp;quot;First Look: Nintendo Revolution Controller Feels Smooth As Puppet Strings&amp;quot;). Now he&#039;s ready to talk about any Wii topic under the sun - to a point.
 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;We&#039;re looking at this as about eight days into the mission,&amp;quot; he said, opening with a report of the company&#039;s recent success. Nintendo has sold 600,000 Wiis in North America and nearly half as many extra Wii controllers, Fils-Aime said (see &amp;quot;Wii Unmasked: Nintendo Reveals Price, Launch Date, Lineup Of Games&amp;quot;). The company has also sold more than 450,000 copies of &amp;quot;The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess.&amp;quot; He said &amp;quot;Red Steel,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Rayman Raving Rabbids&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Madden&amp;quot; all have sold well, as has the surgery game &amp;quot;Trauma Center: Second Opinion.&amp;quot;
 &lt;br&gt; 
 &lt;br&gt; He offered a preview of the Wii&#039;s winter lineup. In addition to support from third-party game developers, Nintendo will publish three more titles for the Wii by the end of March: &amp;quot;WarioWare: Smooth Moves,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Wii Play&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Mario Party 8.&amp;quot; The first two will be released in January, the latter in March. All are compilations of shorter games...&lt;br/&gt;</description>
