A few important releases across the globe this week. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass was released in America a week ago today. FIFA 2008 for Wii is still doing pretty well (only a few connections from Top 10 this week!), and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was released for Wii in Japan and is doing pretty good as well! This week is when I'll release the full list of ranked online games, and it should by far be the most interesting yet.

The complete chart for week 40 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 was released four weeks ago by me. A new one will be released later this week.

Hm, I still don't know when to do it. I just thought it'd be pretty lame if the Top 10 contained the only 10 games on the marked. Soon, though

Sure!
But some hopefully popular games are coming by the end of the year so as you said, soon!

Thanks for the info man.


Nice to see Fifa getting decent connections. Ill be interested in seeing how it does next week with its release in America/more sales from Europe. Hopefully get over 75k on its way to 100k.

Thanks Bo.

I look forward to Brawl cleaning up when it's released later this year.

Surprised to see Animal Crossing still so high up the list and Tetris so low.

Brawl will be the type of online game that will still get major amounts of connections until Wii2 is released.

FIFA GOT ROOOOOBBBED!

I hope to see it next week in the top 10

Not too likely, sadly How well does FIFA-games usually do outside of Europe? Not to good, I'm afraid...
Dragon Ball Z: BT3 might have a fair shot next week, though

For monday:

* Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 - 7,434 connections
* Transformers: Autobots/Decepticons - 7,379 connections
* Tetris DS - 7,088 connections
* Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker - 6,493 connections
* FIFA 2008 - 5,595 connections

Zelda might go even higher, though! Even more likely with the european release up ahead.
For monday:

* The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - 15,424 connections
* Pokémon Battle Revolution - 14,985 connections
* Jump! Ultimate Stars - 10,122 connections

Oke, very big increase then

Edit: And brawl has a likely change of challeging Pokemon on the online charts imo

Nothing really interesting during this week, I think, except that Bleach DS (released in America October 9th) did a hell of a lot better than I'd expected.

It's been floating around 40-50 connections a day these last few weeks.

Tuesday: 50 connections
Wednesday: 1,175 connections
Thursday: 2,071 connections

Nothing mind blowing, but I didn't think it would pass 1,000 connections in one day AT ALL. Good

Hope FIFA 08 can maintain that 60k for a couple of weeks. I think it should increase once Interactive Leagues starts to work properly.

And where do these figures come from? From Nintendo's Wi-Fi site or another source?

Any sign of the game code for Brawl yet?

His site says RSB, and that game has had a few connections these last few weeks, but I haven't been able to talk it over with him. He's very precise about what games to include, though (only include games when 100% confirmed), so it should be right. I'd expected more connections by this time, though.

Kevin has found a few new game codes,

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2

I can't recall seeing Rayman 2 having online, furthermore not anything I thought would be tracked. Can anyone enlighten me about this part of the game?

From my old, tired memory I think it was high score tracking and leaderboards for Rayman Rabbids 2.

I also remember reading an interview in the official Nintendo-europe website about online ladderboard for RRR2
