Lightbulb Mario Sunshine selling great!

Super Mario Sunshine has been selling superbly in Japan. The latest effort from Studio Shigeru has reportedly sold out in under two hours. Huge queues formed around the block in downtown Akiharbara, which isn't a surprise considering the game has topped Famitsu's most wanted chart for what seems like an eternity.

We'll have to wait for more definite sales figures before a fair judgement can be made, but rest assured that it will be a decent financial success for the Big N. The game is crucial for the Gamecube's outlook in Japan and should entice more potential GC owners to part with their cash.

The Mario series has been a rip-roaring success for Nintendo, and the portly plumber is now the most recognised computer game character in the world (according to recent surveys). Super Mario Sunshine by all accounts does the series justice, by refining what makes the games so special with touches of pure innovation.
