EA SPORTS asked college football fans to vote and determine which college mascot would have the honor of being on the cover of NCAA Football 09 for the Nintendo Wii. Although it was a tightly contested race, Sparty the Spartan from Michigan State University came out victorious.

Through the NCAA Football 09 Wii Cover Mascot Challenge, fans went online and cast more than 700,000 votes for their favorite mascots. Mascots from Central Florida, Washington State, Auburn, LSU, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa State, Alabama and Penn State rounded out the top ten.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Smashes Nintendo Sales Records

             Wii Game Sells at a Rate of More than 120 per Minute

    REDMOND, Wash., March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- After just one week on store 

shelves, Super Smash Bros.(R) Brawl for Wii has become the fastest-selling 

video game in Nintendo of America's history. Since its launch on March 9, the 

feature-packed fighting action game has sold more than 1.4 million units in 

the United States, including more than 874,000 on March 9 alone. It has sold 

at a rate of more than 120 units per minute between launch and March 16.

 "Super Smash Bros. Brawl has made the leap from video game to cultural 

phenomenon," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice 

president of Sales & Marketing. "Game reviewers and the public alike praise 

its fun game play and extensive, inventive content."

    Super Smash Bros. Brawl features a nearly limitless variety of options for 

players. Dozens of classic Nintendo characters like Mario(TM) and Pikachu(R) 

are joined by industry icons like Sonic The Hedgehog(TM) and Metal Gear's 

Solid Snake for all-out four-player battles. The endless customization keeps 

players coming back for more. The previous game in the series, Super Smash 

Bros.(R) Melee, became the best-selling Nintendo GameCube(TM) game of all time 

with more than 7 million copies sold worldwide, so it's no surprise to see 

this latest installment racking up record numbers.

    "It's important to remember," Dunaway said, "that we have lots more fun on 

the way: Upcoming titles like Mario Kart(R) Wii and Wii Fit(TM) will keep our 

momentum going strong."

    Mario Kart Wii launches April 27 with the Wii Wheel(TM), which lets 

players drive their speedy karts with the intuitive feel of a wireless 

steering wheel. It's another "bridge" game like Wii Sports(TM) that lets video 

game novices and veterans play and have fun together. Wii Fit arrives May 19 

with the Wii Balance Board(TM) to combine fun and fitness. It lets users track 

their progress over time, and it's an easy way for every member of the family 

to keep active and play together.

content their children can access. For more information about this and other 

Wii features, visit Wii.com.
