If the sales are correct and Luc Bernard is telling the truth that Nintendo gets 30%. This means the devs get 70%. Do the math 140000 DLs = 1.4M. 70% of 1.4M = $980,000. So this is how much they've made.
I can imagine the guy who thought of this looks very similar to Jabba the Hut. Thanks Nintendo for making us pay even more money during bad economic times. I can already imagine Iwata sleeping on a bed made up of hundred-dollar bills.

Thanks for the new avatar Corbie! I hope Europeans are enjoying Mega Man 9 as much as I did.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Mega Man 9, Strong Bad Ep 2 and Helix
@x.SuperMario.x: That would be nice.
It figures that Corbie got so tired of changing his avatar, he decided to change other people's avatars.

You guys list Super SFII Turbo (SNES) as one of the games. It doesn't exist! Only Super SFII and SFII Turbo were released for SNES.
