This past week has been very important for Nintendo in Japan. For Nintendo DS both a new S-E game was released, Itadaki Street, and the first Nintendo DS-game/first online game in the Legend of Zelda-series. Itadaki Street was online as well. None of the games had time to enter the Top 10 this week, seeing is they only had respectically 4 and 2 days on the marked, compared to 7 days for all the other games. We're likely to see at least one of them on next weeks chart, though, unless they somehow don't do well at all after their release week or Pokémon Battle Revolution gets a major bump from its release in NA.
Yes, Pokémon Battle Revolution releases today in America, as the first online game for Wii. It'll be good to see how it's taken care of.
The europeans aren't left empty-handed either. Puzzle League DS releases this friday, and last week it was the 16th most played (connected) online game on the service, so it should recieve a noticable bump from that release. I'll keep you updating during the week.
For the Top 10 this week, no new entries, but Mario Strikers is another spot down, Metroid Prime Hunters reached it almost every day of this past week. Hopefully we'll see another nice bump for Strikers when it releases in America in a month.
