- 8:47Speaker 1: would have been the original Super Mario Brothers, but we
- 8:49Speaker 1: Sports has sold eighty three million copies. And I think
- 8:54Speaker 1: one of the reasons, David, is because it was included
- 8:58Speaker 1: as a packing game with the console in all territories
- 9:02Speaker 1: except Japan and Korea. So you bought a Wii, you
- 9:05Speaker 1: bought a Wee Sports.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Sure did for a long time. That was the same
- 9:09Speaker 2: for the nes too with Mario and Duck Hunt. But yeah,
- 9:11Speaker 2: some of them did sell without it, but this one
- 9:14Speaker 2: was big, I think because you could put it in

- 9:22Speaker 2: Great for old folks playing video games, the bowling and stuff.

- 9:43Speaker 1: really great story.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Germans could have probably crushed them, but they stopped to
- 9:49Speaker 2: repair tanks and that gave them enough time to get
- 9:52Speaker 2: out of there.
- 9:53Speaker 1: They get saved by the fishermen.
- 9:54Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy. Yeah, that's it for the first half.
