@ReddLionz72: I agree with that reason...I've been considering downloading it since I watched that episode.

Which brings me to an interesting theory: If Nintendo Week is actually capable of influencing sales like that, they could just highlight more third party VC games to improve service support! Oh, but that assumes they'd increase VC coverage IN GENERAL, not to mention that the first-to-third-party ratio is very skewed on that show. Still, it'd be nice.

I have seven of the top 20 games on VC. Many of them, I have other versions I prefer, while there are a few I simply haven't gotten around to downloading as they're not high-priority titles for me.

I gotta buy Punch-Out and Super Metroid soon, I've been holding out on it too long.

Biggest dropper is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with four spots from 9 to 13. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past also drops fours spots. So not much Zelda love this week. Majora's Mask also dropped one spots and only The Legend of Zelda climbs three spots into the top 10.

has anbody else noticed how that nintendo`s own games dominate the VC top 20.
just makes you wonder why there`s very little 3rd party support.

I don't think it the lack of third party support. I think it's the lack of people buying anything other then the familiar names (and faces).
