Employees from Nintendo all gathered up today (the 22nd) and donated around $10,000 and 18,655 pounds of food to the Notthwest Harvest hunger-relief holiday food drive.

Employees split up into seperate groups and competed against each other in the spirit of friendly competition. Each team would attempt to outdo the other in order to reach a higher donation. This is something Nintendo does each year and this year was particularly important to them, with all the natural (and not-so-natural) disasters happening around the world; Nintendo felt a strong urge to do what they can to make sure some families had a Merry Christmas this year.

Oh yeah, and the 360 came out today in America.
