Another Nintendo representative presides over a live demo of the game, pointing out the return of odd-shaped planetoids and the new drill tool. Dunaway then moved to Super Mario Galaxy 2, saying the game looks different and feels different from the original.

The title launches June 14 for $19.99 and includes full versions of classic literature like Bram Stoker's Dracula. Dunaway said another title on the way shows how expanded entertainment experiences can work, as she turned to the "new" DS "game," 100 Classic Books. Dunaway moved on to talk about America's Test Kitchen for the DS, touting its user-friendly features.

It's a portable system that multiple people can gather around and enjoy at once. Another benefit of the system is that the DSi XL fills the gap between portable experiences and console experiences, she said. Dunaway stresses the system's new features, like its larger screen and pen stylus. Now the DSi XL, which comes out March 28 in the US for $189.99.

Finally, 24.9 million Wii games were sold in December-another record for any system's one month software sales, Dunaway said. December also saw another record, with the Wii selling 3.8 million systems for the month.
The DS had its best month ever in December, and annual sales hit 11.2 million systems sold. Dunaway looks back at 2009, taking a statistical victory lap. Gamers are going to have to wait until E3 to hear about Nintendo's second half lineup. Dunaway says today is about less talk and more play. Franklin introduces Cammie Dunaway, NOA's executive vice president of sales and marketing. Nintendo of America PR director Mark Franklin welcomes the audience to the media event and then lays down some ground rules for the show. The room seats about 100 people and is full up with chattering press and a handful of analysts. Nintendo allows attendees to file into one of the W Hotel's conference rooms right at 9 a.m. Nintendo is kicking off the media day with prepared opening remarks-ones that may preempt the two onrushing industry expos to provide word on just when and how Nintendo will strike back. With the 2010 Game Developers Conference fast approaching in March and this year's E3 not long after, Nintendo set up shop in San Francisco today, inviting the press to check out its upcoming wares as part of its Q1 Media Summit. Rumor and speculation persist that the publisher is also on the verge of releasing new hardware revisions for the Wii, as well as a possible all-new DS beyond its as-yet-undated DSi XL. At the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo, the publisher announced potentially blockbuster games, such as Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M, and a new installment in the Zelda franchise. Plus, the publisher's console may lose its greatest competitive advantage later this year, when Microsoft and Sony are expected to launch their respective motion-sensing peripherals.Īll that said, Nintendo plans to go back on the offensive this year with a number of new installments in its mass-appeal franchises. That situation could complicate further with the introduction of the iPad, though Nintendo has been quick to marginalize the device. Nintendo also finds itself challenged in its bread-and-butter handheld market, thanks to Apple's ubiquitous iPhone. As one recent example, Ubisoft said that it would be deemphasizing its strong Wii and DS support in favor of refocusing resources on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. More ominously, though, recent research indicates that the publisher is losing the support of the third-party development community.
The reasons for Nintendo's current travails are multifarious, ranging from appreciation of Japan's currency in the world market to slowing sales of its juggernaut console and handheld. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is just one of Nintendo's aces. During the same year in which lifetime Wii sales topped 67 million worldwide and the DS sold its 125 millionth unit, the Japanese gaming company saw profit dive 9.4 percent to ¥192.6 billion ($2.14 billion) on sales that had slipped 23 percent to ¥1.18 trillion ($13 billion) for the first nine months of its in-progress fiscal year. SAN FRANCISCO-Nintendo continues to rake in gobs of money, but it showed signs of slowing in 2009.
