Penny Arcade

I love these guys. They update their web comic 3 times a week and its usually a classic. Ubisoft has made some room for them at their booth for the last 3 years. I did not wait in line for a comic book or autograph this year. I did 2 years ago though. The wait was 1 hour to see them. They are considered to be icons in the world of gaming and even hold their own expo, PAX. Kinda like E3 but more for gamers rather than business. I hope to go next year.
Kind of a slow month for games. This week saw the release of Street Fighter Alpha Anthology for PS2, Megaman Battle Network 6 (both versions)...and thats about it. I hate to be a hater, but why did Capcom do more MBN games. They are all extremely similar. Everytime they release a new one in Japan, its sells in the hundred thousands. Its like a Pokemon phenomenom or something.
Speaking of phenoms, the DS Lite sold a whopping 136k units in 2 days in the States. It continues to be the #1 system in Japan selling well over 100k each week. They are eating up games like Brain Age, New Mario Bros, Animal Crossing, and almost every other title for the little dual screen wonder. Meanwhile the XBOX 360 barely sells 1000 units over there. They are strongly anticipating Wii. Nintendo seriously has a shot of becoming #1 again if they get their act together and focus on RPGs and their classic franchises. Here's hoping.
