I knew Nintendo was big and powerful, but you know things are crazy when they start controlling the skies!
Today Nintendo sent out a press release that seems say that they'll be controlling the heavens on September 18th... in select cities across the US. So they don't quite have the power of God yet, but they're getting there. Nintendo says that "evidence points to the reemergence of a luminous entity that citizens from all walks of life will appreciate."

Hmm. I wonder what

But then again, maybe I'm reading too much into this.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure Nintendo is planning a "Men In Black-esque" type thing where they will control your minds and make the Wii print out even more money using Kirby as the grand master.
I'm gonna have to check this shit out...
Luigi's Mansion 2.
