Stop me if you've heard this one before.

Thanks (again) to DS hardware and software, Nintendo is expecting to beat its already lofty yearly sales target of 900 billion Yen ($7.58 billion), raising its consolidated net sales estimate for its 2007 fiscal year to 966 billion Yen ($8.14 billion). That's a 7.3% difference. The Wii wasn't mentioned in the note announcing this forecast adjustment, so it seems the DS is kicking ass and taking names all by itself.

Nintendo is outselling the PlayStation 3 at a ratio of 2-to-1 over there.

The latest sales figures from Japan are showing that Nintendo has sold 1.95 million Wii consoles from its December 2 launch to a period ending on March 25. Assuming Nintendo has been getting decent shipments out to its home country in the week since then, it's not too far-fetched to believe that the Wii has already broken the two million systems sold mark, just four months after it launched in the region.

The next game from the developers of Guitar Hero may not be snubbing the Wii after all.

When Electronic Arts recently announced the next game released from Harmonix, Rock Band, the Wii was oddly absent from the list of platforms. Luckily, IGN acquired a statement from Harmonix, saying that EA will be publishing the game on "all important platforms" and that, "the Wiimote is something that holds enormous promise."

Those of you who long to see new Game Boy Advance games will be disappointed to hear that Nintendo still isn't translating Mother 3 into English. Just as we were beginning to forget about the game, someone over at Nintendo Japan and HAL Labratory decided to O.K. the release of the two Mother 3 soundtracks onto Apple's iTunes music service.
