It's no surprise that Nintendo has been kicking ass and taking names over the past year with the Wii and the DS. As a matter of fact, the NPD numbers prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. Well, this month's NPD Group numbers are no exception, seeing the Wii and DS as the number one selling systems in the U.S.

This time however, instead of sending out a static business email filled with numbers, Nintendo has enlisted their own Princess Peach to deliver the news. Cute and corny? Yes, but at least it's not dull and boring. More emails should be like this. Because let's face it, who wouldn't want to get a message from Peach?

Oh, my! All this attention is enough to make a girl blush!

As a princess I'm used to being adored, but this is just too much! I know I'm probably sounding like a broken record, but once again my friends at the NPD Group are telling me that Wii and Nintendo DS finished May as the most popular systems in the United States.

Thanks to everyone for your wonderful support! Nintendo couldn't have made it back to the top without you. You're all Mario-caliber heroes in my book.

Now I'm not one to brag, but some of the top games of this month happen to feature someone very pretty and popular - me! I'm talking about the super-fun Mario Party 8 and Super Paper Mario for Wii. Sure, Mario gets top billing, but from where I sit (on my throne), I'd say he's earned it. Besides, my own game on Nintendo DS, Super Princess Peach, is still selling strong, showing that a girl can do anything she puts her mind to.

I think all my Super Princess Peach fans would have just as much fun working to earn their Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree. I'm not in that one, but don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. Be sure to watch for me in my super-stylish soccer gear in Mario Strikers Charged, which arrives on Wii on July 30. I can't wait!

Kisses!

Peach
