The number of connections took a hit this week and fell about a million. In the end of the week, they began to rise again, so hopefully it won't be permanent. Worms: Open Warfare 2 is still climbing the charts, and it could very well hit the Top 10 eventually. Next week will be interesting, the new Pokémon Dungeon-games will be released in Japan. The original games sold about 1.5M units in Japan alone, so these should fare well. Will we see a third Pokémon-title in the Top 10 next week?

The complete chart for week 36 of 2007 can be seen underneath.

Please note

- The number of connections listed in here is not unique connections, just the total number of connections for the service during the past week.

- These data are straight off of Nintendo's Wi-Fi site, through the freeware program WFCStatus.

- A Top 75 will be released by me this week.

I don't think so, but let me check. What's the game code?

* Pokémon Fushigi no Dungeon Toki no Tankentai [DS, September 13th]
* Pokémon Fushigi no Dungeon Yami no Tankentai [DS, September 13th]

These games will definitely make it onto the Top 10. For the release date they had the following number of connections:

Toki - 6,723 connections
Yami - 7,246 connections

It's RM3 but I think it doesn't register indeed.

You're right, it seems.

Toki - 19,326 connections friday.
Yami - 18,359 connections friday

These will definitely hold a Top 10 spot for quite some time... I've just assumed that these games connect to eachother as Diamond/Pearl does it. Can anyone confirm this?

I wish there was a vote to see how many people connected to Everybody Votes channel in a week.

I wonder if it would be on a million?

Yami - 24,116 connections saturday
Toki - 27,429 connections saturday

Amazing

Furthermore, this week is very interesting. It includes the lowest day in a LONG time (thursday had 516,265 connections), and the most active day for the service EVER, if I recall correctly (saturday - 1,079,804 connections - first day to go past 900k connections, I think).

EDIT: Esp. ACWW, MKDS, MSCF and PBR gained a lot during friday, a few of them doubled their activity.
