Hardly anything different then. Oh well. Wonder how Swords and Soldiers will fare when released in the US

I really don't get the appeal of My Aquarium.

I still can't believe My Aquarium is still selling this much. I don't believe the top twenty is exactly accurate to what is being sold recently. Surely there must be a point where every Wii owner who wants it will have it. Its good that Mega Man 9 is going back up the charts.

My Aquarium sucks, I launched it once.

I'm boggled by Bonsai Barber being gone. Seriously, it's the funnest WiiWare game I've played since World of Goo. I just wish it let me do more than 5 cuts a day!

Germany:
(-) 1 Swords & Soldiers
(2) 2 My Aquarium
(1) 3 Texas Hold'em Tournament
(3) 4 World of Goo
(5) 5 Onslaught
(7) 6 Fun Fun Minigolf
(6) 7 TV Show King
(9) 8 My Pokemon Ranch
(13) 9 Brain Challenge
(10) 10 Tetris Party
(11) 11 Bomberman Blast
(4) 12 Bit Trip Beat
(8) 13 Equilibrio
(-) 14 Rainbow Islands Towering Adventure
(15) 15 Snowboard Riot
(19) 16 FFCCMLaaK
(12) 17 Crystal Defenders R1
(17) 18 Pop-Up Pirate
(20) 19 Defend Your Castle
(14) 20 Adventure Island The Beginning

Exit: Bubble Bobble Plus (18), LostWinds (16)
Wow, a LOT of movement this time. Swords and Soldiers races straight to the first spot, let's see how long that'll last. Rainbow Islands also managed to make a belated entry after not showing at all last week. The biggest dropper was Bit Trip Beat though Adventure Island, Equilibrio and Crystal Defenders also lost a lot of ground. My Aquarium even overtakes poker this week. Brain Challenge got a strange boost too.

The lovely British charts:

1 (1) - My Aquarium
2 (N) - Swords & Soldiers
3 (4) - World of Goo
4 (3) - Texas Hold'em Tournament
5 (2) - BIT.TRIP BEAT
6 (5) - Onslaught
7 (7) - Pop-Up Pirate!
8 (12) - Rainbow Islands Towering Adventure!
9 (6) - My Pokemon Ranch
10 (10) - Defend Your Castle
11 (8) - Bomberman Blast
12 (9) - Equilibrio
13 (11) - Bubble Bobble Plus!
14 (13) - Tetris Party
15 (14) - CueSports - Snooker vs. Billiards
16 (15) - Snowboard Riot
17 (16) - TV Show King
18 (18) - The Incredible Maze
19 (19) - FUN! FUN! Minigolf
20 (N) - LostWinds

Up: World of Goo's up 1, Rainbow Islands' up 4.
Down: BIT.TRIP was no. 1 briefly over the week, but now down to 5. Lots of drops this week.
Hello: Swords & Soldiers, straight in at 2. Impressive! LostWinds re-enters at 20.
Goodbye: Adventure Island and My Life As A King. The latter will probably resurface though.

I should shock everyone and say "I haven't bought World of Goo yet"... I haven't bought World of Goo yet.

I also haven't bought World of Goo, and intend to eventually. So yeah, I can fully understand how that game stays pinned up there. My Aquarium, I imagine, is primarily good because it's at the top of the charts. I'd love to see some gamey-games up there, like Bit.Trip Beat or MM9, though.

There are not enough Hudson games on this list

First of all I just wanted to point out that yesterday a video of Team ICOs upcoming game, tentatively named "Project Trico", leaked onto the web. If you haven't seen it yet I command you to immediately go to youtube and check it out. And if you don't like it, I'm sorry but we can't be friends anymore. And I'm aware that posting such a thing on a Nintendo specific site is rather odd but it's just so pretty I can't help myself.

Also, today is the 1 year anniversary of the EU WiiWare shop. How about that. Yay! In addition to that, LostWinds celebrate having spent a full year uninterrupted on the chart, a rather astonishing feat I must say. In addition to that, My Life As A King manages a similar feat since it's charted every single CHART day of the last year, however that game has left the chart on atleast one occasion in midweek. The next game that will be able to register such a feat is Defend Your Castle, in August.
(For the record, TV Show King did not chart for 6 of the weeks)

Swedish top 20:
(-) 1 - Swords & Soldiers

*=game older than one year.

Yawn! These weekly posts are starting to get redundant. Goo domination continues as usual...

Then read the other lists in the comments, they changed a lot this week.

I think NintendoLife should do their own ranking of the top 20 wiiware titles. Maybe even rank the top 20 VC titles as well.

Seems my purchase of SIGE did nothing for the UK charts then. Also, that is amazing how Swords and Soldiers did so well. Here's hoping it will dethrone My Aquarium. Good to see LostWinds back up there again.

Don't people read reviews before buying games, My Aquariam and My Pokemon Ranch are BAD.

MEGA MAN RETURNS!!!!! Yes

I can't wait to see the Big 3 crumble when Swords & Soldiers gets released

@subzero: I wouldn't say My Aquarium is bad (look at this sites review) its just not a game in a traditional sense. If you wanted a fish simulator, you got the best, most affordable one on the market.

Worth noting that here in Canada, Family Pirate Party made it to 19th ahead of Pop 'Em Drop 'Em Same Game (currently ranked 20th). Crystal Defenders R1 is around 7th.

Also worth mentioning that Majora's Mask is already 2nd place, beating out Super Mario Bros. and trailing only behind SMB3! OoT is 7th or so. Wow. That's a CRAZY jump to have in the span of like two or three days!

@JJ: They did Corbie's Top 20 (or 10, I forget) VC games, and the TOp 5 WiiWare games of 08 (which was it's first year).

Heh, I know why there's been so little movement of the Top 20. Look at the recent US releases. None have been really good since Bonsai Barber, based on some reviews I've seen. Others have been meh or poor.

@KnucklesSonic8
Crystal Defenders R1 is 8th.

Sad that Bit.Trip BEAT didn't even last a month in the chart, but who knows? Maybe it will be back next week...

Thanks for posting the list chris. I knew it was 7th or 8th. I knew for sure that MLK was right after it though.

Cue Sports isn't doing AS well as it is in the U.S unfortunately and there must be something about Sandy Beach that's actually good because it's still on the charts!

1- World of Goo
2-Bomberman Blast
3-My Aquarium
4-Cue Sports - Pool Rev.

20-High Voltage Hot Rod Show

Hot Rod Show is ranking on the Brazilian charts?! Sweet, I always thought that game deserved a better fate.

@24
I know what you mean, I really love that game. I glad I bought it instead of listening to the reviews of several game sites.

World of Goo still at #1? What are the odds!?

i am just glad to see megaman higher i hope it brake into the top 10

Glad to see Mega Man 9 back on the Top 20 again. It's really a great game. But when is a game going to finally put to end to the Big Three dominance?

Hmmm you should make this top per month not week.

Well done Onslaught! =D, and of course Megaman 9 too

@blockhead: Add me to the list of supporters of Hot Rod Show. Solid game. Online would've made it a near must-have. Nice to see it appear on any region's charts.

Come on, My Pokémon Ranch! Beat World of Goo!

(smiles uncomfortably) W-Wow, My Pokemon Ranch is doing well. (sobs in astonishment and pity.)

Seriously, though, that game SUCKS CRAP.

Here is the popularity chart for the DSi. (US)

1. Nintendo DSi Browser

Nice selection of games

The Fabulous Five is back...with Dr Mario instead of Onslaught. Oh well, I still coined it.

Now the WiiWare Top 20 list is at least interesting. Go Mega Man 9!

DS needs port of goo.

@37: Probably won't happen, as the developers have said that the DS can't handle the WoG engine (I think, I need to find that post...)

World of Goo is really starting to piss me off

About time Mega Man 9 is back to climbing up the chart. Its better than the vast majority of those on the list.

WOG is dominating!!!! I cant wait till the sequal!!!!!! I wonder how much they have sold.... Anyways, s+s is doing really well in european countries, it must have been the fact that it is so awesome looking cant wait till that comes here. And, I bought mm9 this week, so i helped contribute. It is HARD

Wow, things seem to be pretty normal...wait...on the Japanese charts...is that POKEMON RANCH: PLATINUM? Please tell me I'm not reading this right. I don't want two crap titles of my cherished Pokemon series to be the top of the Wiiware charts. One is hard enough to bear...

btw. where is Penguins & friends in the USA Charts?

@Crazed: No I think it's the same game, they just call it that; probably to tie in with Pokemon Platinum on the DS. Oddly enough this was the only WiiWare title on my Japanese Wii when I received it from an Ebay seller (no, I'm not really interested and haven't checked it out, but if I ever change my mind I can always download it again!). I also have a Japanese version of SSBB if anyone's interested...

It's still on the F-ing Top?! Over 6 months, and World of Goo has yet to budge?!?!?! Wow! Is there even anyone left to buy that game...other than me?!

I haven't buy it either... Maybe I'll have to download it lol

@Sean- Thanks, I can sleep easier.
