DS Lite BlackThe people at Nintendo definitely have a lot to celebrate nowadays. Two Ninty DS games - New Super Mario Bros. and Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day for Nintendo DS ranked as the No. 1 and No. 3 best-selling games of May, according to the independent NPD Group.

NPD Group provides global consumer and retail information that helps manufacturers and retailers make more informed, fact-based decisions in order to optimize their businesses. And they are doing that very same things for Nintendo.

The good news doesn't end there, early reports from major retailers indicate that those same titles are being scooped up with the new Nintendo DS Lite in advance for Father's Day. Nice! I am pretty sure that my dad would love to play Brain Age!

According to the same group, The New Super Mario Bros. sold at a nonstop rate of roughly one every four seconds nationwide during the reporting period after going on sale May 15. It also emerged as the No.1 game of the month even if it was in stores for just 13 days.

DS Lite sales are also making Ninty smile more! Apparently, just two days after Nintendo DS Lite went on sale in the United States on June 11, it sold more than 136,500 units, with many retail outlets reporting sellouts. Also Major retailers report that sales of Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day tripled over the previous week. I am sure that the guys over at Nintendo are patting each others backs for a job well done!
