You call someone else an idiot then you spell it "idito". Well played...

And, jack_burt0n, it's called Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 in Japan. I think it's number three.

I've not played 1 game on that list and the only one I will play is probably RE5. People have wierd taste in Japan.

And what is it with people and wii fit across the globe? Get some proper exercise or do some yoga ffs.

Misleading article title doesn't mention that this is in Japan.

I'm sure the stats will be drastically different for the North American market *edit* or the international market for that matter. *
