Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the images on this blog loading? I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Retroist – I must have misheard the top 5, I thought it was your personal top 5, not the top 5 in sales. Apologies.

I guess that makes sense then, that SMB1 is on top. After all, if they factor in the sales from the NES set that included it (box, SMB, and 2 controllers), then I’m sure the number is through the roof.

I actually had a R.O.B. because when I went to get the system, they only had the “Deluxe” package left. That robot was beyond useless, but he was a cute little guy. I’ve always found that with these, “novelty items” that Nintendo creates, the games are usually horrible. If they would just make good games to go with these contraptions, they would succeed. I’d like to see the sales numbers on “Stack Up.” I’m sure it sold like 10 copies.

Sorry,

Also thought I would add that Jenny Lewis went on to be a pretty good singer with a following.

She grew up to be pretty cute.
