To be fair, Super Smash Bros. Brawl (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/ssbb) isn' t the only big title for March, but the game is being credited as the catalyst for a sales rise last month. Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian is predicting that software sales for March rose about 35%, and SSBB is a big factor, which became Nintendo of America's fastest selling title one week in at 1.4 million units.

Sebastian speculated about April a bit as well, saying that he expects positive growing trends into the summer months due a solid release lineup across all three platforms, namely Mario Kart Wii (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/mkwii) and Wii Fit for the Nintendo Wii.

Lastly, Sebastian touched a bit on the launch preparation of Wii Fit, which is rumored to have a Mario cameo. He stated that Nintendo may "consider incremental production and/or shifting of regional unit allocation."
