After the amazing week following the release of Pokémon in Europe and Mario Strikers in America it may surprise you that the number of connections almost didn't drop at all this week.
For this week we have another big week, with Pokémon actually growing in connections, and Mario Strikers holding it 2nd spot from last week, but just barely above Animal Crossing with less than a thousand connections separating them.
Also, after the failure that was Mega Man Star Force in Japan, they are this weeks surprise, and enters at #11 on this weeks chart. Pretty awesome, and they seem to be able to hit a bit into the Top 10 already next week. Fantastic.
Next week we'll see a lot of online releases in America, and Madden looks to be very interesting for Wii. It could after all we know be huge.
The complete chart for week 32 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 within the next hour. This month I'll also do a quick note of number of connections for upcoming games I have gathered this week, to see how much testing the developers are doing on their Nintendo online games.
