Happy Feet Wii boxartNope not to Antarctica nor Alaska, but to retail stores. Hey, store shelves can handle "extreme coolness" too you know.

Anyway, on to the actual sensical stuff. Midway Games has announced that they've shipped a total of 1.8 million units of Happy Feet (DS, Wii, PC) since the game's mid-November release last year.

Even though the game's sales figures haven't been as hot as the Warner Bros. movie's total box office sales (a whopping US $ 326 million, fellas!), Midway remains optimistic that the videogame has helped them make their mark in the "younger" videogame market.

Whether we'll get to see more of Mumble, the tone-deaf tap-dancing penguin (and his bouncing baby love Gloria) in a game sequel is a possibility we have yet to explore. We'll keep you posted for more.
