Topic: VC Top 20

^This. I think you're trying to tell me something, but God knows what.

I don't even get "your" list, so I guess it could be better than Norway's... can't really say I care, though.

I've never posted a Top 20, and haven't seen a U.S. one lately (and I'm a list freak), so thought I'd post the current one.
United States VC Top 20

1. Super Mario Bros. 3
2. Super Mario Bros.
3. Donkey Kong Country
4. Super Mario World
5. Super Mario Bros. 2
6. Donkey Kong
7. The Legend of Zelda
8. Super Mario 64
9. Pac-Man
10. Mario Kart 64
11. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
12. Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream

Don't remember Donkey Kong Country ever being that high, nor original NES Donkey Kong. Those and DKC 2 obviously getting a nostalgia boost from Donkey Kong Country Returns! Or from those wanting to discover the magic of them for the first time!

@Jamba001

Very little change this week. No newcomers or drop-outs. There isn't even any change from last week until you get to number 13, and then the order is changed minimally.

The lists come when you make them. I mostly make them on a Thursday. Just a few hours before the new releases come out and enough time to see what impact the last weeks new releases have on the sales.

Ah, I thought the Popular Titles were updated once a week or something. Think I'm gonna go with Wednesdays and Thursdays from now on. ^^ Even though it probably hasn't changed much this time, since it's only been three days.

Last week's ranking and rise/fall in parenthesis

Again, only marginal change over a one-week period. Super Mario 64 gains two spots, taking the number 6 spot from Donkey Kong and giving Mario 5 games in the top 6. Ocarina of Time climbs into the top ten at number 10, while Mario Kart 64 switches places with it from the prior week, falling to 11. So far, the same 20 games have been in the top 20 since I started doing the U.S. rankings December 2nd.

I give you two lists from past two weeks...

The Mexican VC Top 20 from December 10th:

1 (1) - Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)

18 (18) - Super Metroid (SNES)
19 (17) - The Legend of Zelda (NES)
20 (X) - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)

We have two new entries here: Paper Mario returns at 17th place (becoming also the biggest climber this week), along with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past at 20th place. With this, we say goodbye to Yoshi's Story (19th last week) and Kirby Super Star (20th). Anyone droped more than two places, so there is no biggest dropper in this list.

Now, the Mexican VC Top 20 from December 17th:

1 (1) - Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)
2 (2) - Super Mario Bros. (NES)
3 (3) - Super Mario World (SNES)
4 (7) - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
5 (4) - Super Mario 64 (N64)
6 (8) - Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES)
7 (6) - The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
8 (5) - Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
9 (9) - Mario Kart 64 (N64)
10 (10) - Super Smash Bros. (N64)
11 (11) - Pac-Man (NES)
12 (18) - Super Metroid (SNES)
13 (14) - Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (NES)
14 (13) - Punch Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (NES)
15 (17) - Paper Mario (N64)
16 (12) - Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (SNES)
17 (15) - Kirby's Adventure (NES)
18 (20) - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
19 (X) - Yoshi's Story (N64)
20 (19) - The Legend of Zelda (NES)

Only one new game: Yoshi's Story returns to the chart at 19th place, leaving out Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (16th last week and biggest dropper). The biggest climber is Super Metroid with six places, from 18th place to 12th.

It'll be interesting to see what effect Mario Party 2 has on the top 20 in the U.S. and other places it's released over time. Looking forward to making a top 20 with even 1 different game in it! Well, I made my contribution to Mario Party 2's U.S. climb.

20. (20 =) Paper Mario
Dropped Out: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (Japanese SMB. 2)
Last week's ranking and rise/fall in parenthesis. NR is not ranked the previous week.

Well, that answers the question of how much impact Mario Part 2 would have on the Top 20. It debuted in the top 10, at number 8, making it the big winner of the week. That now makes 7 games with Mario, just in the top 10. And with a newcomer, that meant a game had to drop out, and that was SMB.: The Lost Levels. Joining it as a big loser for the week, Donkey Kong Country 2, which dropped 5 spots, from 13th to 18th. Something else I found worth noting is that there are only 2 non-Nintendo games in the top 20 (Pac-Man & Galaga).
