As I said to our Editor this week regarding Thunderbolt’s sharp traffic hike thanks to our Super Smash Bros. Brawl review, you can count on Nintendo. And they’ve done it again, as figures show that the much anticipated smash-em-up in the west has sold over 800 thousand units in Japan alone - just 4 days since release.

Brawl has sold almost as many units as Super Mario Galaxy, just 50,000 short of over-taking the total sales of everyone’s favourite plumber, and can soon set its sights on cutting down the lead currently enjoyed by Wii Fit.

Mama mia!
