Topic: 3DS eShop Top 20

The Dutch eShop List of 29-6:
1) (-) 3D Classics Excitebike
2) (3) Donkey Kong (VC)
3) (2) Super Mario Land (VC)
4) (1) The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (VC)
5) (4) Plants vs. Zombies
6) (-) Double Dragon (VC)
7) (5) Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini's March Again
8) (6) Pop Island Paperfield
9) (7) Tetris Party Live
10) (-) Game & Watch: Donkey Kong Jr.
11) (12) Tennis (VC)
12) (8) Zenonia
13) (13) A Little Bit Of... Dr. Mario
14) (10) Alleyway (VC)
15) (11) Aura-Aura Climber
16) (-) Radar Mission (VC)
17) (-) Soul of Darkness
18) (9) Shantae: Risky's Revenge
19) (-) AiRace
20) (-) Photo Dojo

Lot of new games. Nintendo decided to let 3D Classics Excitebike count to the list (logic since it requires payment in the future). Of course since it's free, it claims the top spot but probably was there the last two weeks as well if it would have been counted. Other new games are Double Dragon (VC and came out last week), Game & Watch: Donkey Kong Jr., Radar Mission (VC and came out last week), Soul of Darkness, AiRace and Photo Dojo.

This comes at the expense of:

• AlphaBounce (14 last week)
• Rytmik (15 last week)
• Art Style: PiCOPiCT (16 last week)
• Go Series: Ivy the Kiwi? Mini (17 last week)
• Dark Void Zero (18 last week)
• Maestro! Green Groove (19 last week)
• Mighty Milky Way (20 last week)

Only two climbers. Donkey Kong (VC) and Tennis (VC) both climb a spot. The biggest dropper is Shantae: Ricky's Revenge with nine spots from 9 to 18.

Interesting is that the new games all can be found in the new Donkey Kong, Race and Fight game sections and the updated Highlights section. Still no sight of last few weeks new DSiWare releases. Where are they Nintendo?

I used to think DSiWare organization was not so good but after a couple weeks, i think i see what they're trying to do. Every week they change the shelves and give the games on those shelves a bit of time to shine. The next week, they may be swapped out for other DSiWare so that they can shine. If there was just a "DSiWare" section then lots of them would get majorly overshadowed. The way it is now, they give a handful of games in various catagories on the front page a boost of sorts. I think its actually a great system to get sales for lesser games that may not sell many otherwise.

It's not in the list. So we can't mention it.

where is cave story ? this game is so much better than a lot of those in the list !!!

Cave Story (DSiWare) is still not out in Europe.

I think I'd give the Norwegians the gold medal for game choices over the Dutch and my fellow Americans. I was surprised to see Mario Clock make it into the US top 20...then I remembered that the very first e-shop title I purchased was Mario Calculator. Must be something in our water....

what the heck is mario clock anyway. it looks...very strange. is it some kind of joke or is it good for real ?

Its an alarm clock with a Mario theme. Its got 3 pieces of music from the original Super Mario Bros. that you can set as the alarm or you can use a sound you have recorded in 3DS Sound. Also, there is a little game of sorts on the top screen where you just run and collect coins. Very simple but effective for 2 bucks. If you're looking for an alarm clock its a solid purchase.

my 3ds is opened all day long, i wont let it on all night too ! i must let it rest...
ill skip this trange application hahaha
but i do understand it can have its uses, andm ust sound much better than my stress boosting alarm clock.

The speakers on the 3ds are so quite though.

yeah. there is no doubt about sound quality, its great.
but the output is lame. seriously lame.
even my Sennheiser headphones require the volume control to be at its max, and its not even loud. With these headphones, i usually put the sound lower than most earphones/headphones i used on other apparels, like my ipod.

and i noted that sound loudness varies from game to game, especially when you play those Dsiwares titles.
cave story is loud, but bomberman is NOT.

I'm plannig on getting Bomberman Blitz, Plants vs. Zombies, Stratego: Next edition, and Photo Dojo. And the I want to get inchworm animation when it comes out in 3D.

The Dutch eShop List of 27-7:
1) (2) The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (VC)
2) (3) Kirby's Dream Land (VC)
3) (4) Super Mario Land (VC)
4) (-) 3D Classics Xevious

14) (13) UNO
15) (-) Airport Mania: Non-Stop Flights
16) (14) Bomberman Blitz
17) (-) AfterZoom
18) (-) Jagged Alliance
19) (-) Shantae: Risky's Revenge
20) (-) Paper Plane

Seven new games. Last weeks releases are doing well. 3D Classics Xevious enters at 4, Game & Watch Gallery enters at 8, AfterZoom at 17 and Jagged Alliance at 18. Also new are Airport Mania: Non-Stop Flights at 15, Shantae: Risky's Revenge at 19 and Paper Plane at 20.

This means farewell to:

• 3D Classics Excitebike (1 last week) :shock:
• Qix (VC) (10 last week)
• Rayman (12 last week)
• Airport Mania: First Flight (15 last week)
• Alleyway (VC) (18 last week)
• Art Academy: Second Semester (19 last week)
• Dragon Quest Wars (20 last week)

We have a new number one. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX claims the top spot. Last weeks number one, 3D Classics Excitebike has left the list. It's logical. Everyone had the game for free since the opening of the shop and 6 Euro price is just too steep for a game like this.

The biggest climber is Game & Watch: Mario's Cement Factory with six spots from 17 to 11. The biggest dropper is Game & Watch: Donkey Kong Jr. with four spots from 9 to 13.

Has no one been posting the UK top 20? I'll start posting it if no one has been, I could also check the Wiiware charts if you need me to. This is from the recent bestsellers list:
UK Top 20 27/07/2011
1) 3D Classics Xevious
2) The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
3) Mario's Picross
4) Kirby's Dreamland
5) Super Mario Land
6) G&W Gallery
7) Donkey Kong
8) Photo Dojo (English Version)
9) Game & Watch Donkey Kong Jr
10) Plants vs Zombies
11) Mario vs. Donkey Kong Minis March Again
12) Art Academy First Semester
13) Paper Plane
14) Game & Watch Mario's Cement Factory
15) Airport Mania: NSF
16) Bomberman Blitz
17) Bejeweled Twist
18) AfterZoom
19) Tetris Party Live
20) Jagged Alliance

I think Link's Awakening had been in the top spot for several weeks and I'm surprised to see Xevious knock it off.

Sure thing. Always good to see more lists.

Cool, I'll check Wiiware later and post that too.
