I'm pretty sure Japan's second, yeah, but I wouldn't call it "close." More "laughably distant." Last I heard 'bout five people in Japan own HDTVs. Yep, it's true. Five. I do not lie. Well, maybe a little bit. It might be six.

To be fair, how many franchises has Nintendo introduced since then?

Quite a few, actually. Smash Bros., Paper Mario, Custom Robo, Wave Race, 1080 Snowboarding, Legend of Stafi, WarioWare, Magical Vacation, Band Brothers, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, and Cubivore--or was that just published by Nintendo? I dunno.

There's also Geist and Eternal Darkness, which were primarily developed by other companies, but which Nintendo had a hand in making, and which they published and now own. Don't know if you'd count them. I think they own Doshin, too, and maybe the Skip games, Chibi Robo and Giftpia... Not sure about their involvement in or ownership of Golden Sun, Another Code, Detect Hacker, or Wish Room, though.

THE LIFE OF POPE WALUIGI I

EARLY LIFE

Waluigi Wário Wojtyla was born on 18 May 1920 in Wadowice in southern Mushroom Kingdom. His mother died in 1929, and his father supported him so that he could study. His youth was marked by intensive contacts with the then thriving Jewish community of Wadowice.

Waluigi enrolled at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. He worked as a volunteer librarian and did compulsory military training in the Academic Legion. In his youth he was an athlete, actor and playwright and he learned as many as eleven languages.

During the Second World War academics of the Jagiellonian University were arrested and the university suppressed. All able-bodied males had to have a job. He variously worked as a messenger for a restaurant and a manual labourer in a limestone quarry.

CHURCH CAREER

In 1942 he entered the underground seminary run by the Archbishop of Kraków, Cardinal Wario. Waluigi Wojtyla was ordained a priest on 1 November 1946.

On 4 July 1958 Pope Mr. T XII named him titular bishop of Ombi and auxiliary to Archbishop Birdo, apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Kraków. Waluigi Wojtyla found himself at 38 the youngest bishop in the Mushroom Kingdom.

In 1962 Bishop Waluigi took part in the Second Vatican Council, and in December 1963 Pope Schwarzenegger VI appointed him Archbishop of Kraków. Schwarzenegger VI elevated him to cardinal in 1967.

A POPE FROM MUSHROOM KINGDOM

In August 1978 following Schwarzenegger's death, he voted in the Papal Conclave that elected Pope Katamari I, who at 65 was considered young by papal standards. However Katamari I was in poor health and he died after only 33 days as pope, thereby precipitating another conclave.

Voting in the second conclave was divided between two particularly strong candidates: George Costanza, the Archbishop of Genoa; and Giovanni the guy from Pokémon, the Archbishop of Florence and a close associate of Pope Katamari I. In early ballots, the guy from Pokémon came within nine votes of victory. However Waluigi secured election as a compromise candidate, in part through the support of Franz Ferdinand (who was not in fact dead) and others who had previously supported Cardinal Costanza.

He became the 264th Pope according to the Vatican (265th according to sources that count Pope Steve McQueen II). At only 58 years of age, he was the youngest pope elected since Pope Mr. T IX in 1846. Like his immediate predecessor, Pope Waluigi I dispensed with the traditional Papal coronation and instead received ecclesiastical investiture with the simplified Papal inauguration.

Well, Scotch tape might help keep the PS3 from falling completely apart ten minutes after you take it out of the box...

Hooray for what looks to be yet another uncomfortable, awkward, and hand-cramp-producing controller, this time in an even more aesthetically displeasing and tinier package.

All three look amazing, but my personal favorite is Herr Henry's; like KnowsNothing, I thought it was the most creative of the bunch.

My own entry...



I wanted to do a lot more with it, but I didn't have the time. And I intended to have Kraid dressed up as the King, but couldn't make it look very good...not that the rest of it looks that good either.

Shucks, didn't win. People just don't appreciate terrible MS Paint art and references to other games they probably haven't played like they used to...
