19) (-) Super Smash Bros.
20) (12) Final Fantasy II

One new game, Super Smash Bros. returns at the expense of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (15 last week).

The biggest climber is Kirby's Fun Pak, which is recovering from last weeks shocking drop. It's also interesting to see all the Donkey Kong Games climbing. The first one with three spots from 10 to 7, the others both with five spots. Must have something to do with the E3 announcement.

Biggest dropper is Final Fantasy II with eight spots from 12 to 20 in it's third week. It's also interesting to see that all the Zelda games are dropping. Last week most VC Zelda climbed (probably thanks to the E3 announcement), but now, they all fall. Strange.

The Mexican VC Top 20 from June 30th:

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

Well, there are not new entries this week, but we have some move. The biggest climber is Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars, with 4 spots, and the biggest droper is Punch Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream, droping (ouch!!) seven spots.

I assume next week we will see the newcomer Mario Tennis in this list. We'll see..

The Dutch VC list of 8-7:

17) (19) Super Smash Bros.
18) (11) Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
19) (17) Pac-Man
20) (-) Ufouria: The Saga NEW

Two new games this week. Highest newcomer is the return of Mario Kart 64 at 16. Ufouria: The Saga, which came out last week, enters at 20 (I bought it too). This means the end for, Paper Mario (14 last week) and Final Fantasy II (20 last week).

The E3 hype seemed to be almost over. Donkey Kong Country climbs two spots from 7 to 5, but the second part stays at 15 while the third part drops seven spots from 11 to 18. This makes it our biggest dropper (together with Mario Tennis with seven spots from 5 to 12).

The Kirby's both drop one spot and the only serie that is doing great a few weeks after the E3 announcement is Zelda. Majora's Mask remains at the sixth spot, Ocarina of Time drops one spot, but The Legend of Zelda climbs five spots from 16 to 11 and A Link to the Past even climbs ten spots from 18 to 8. This makes it our biggest climber this week.

This means the end for:

• Kirby's Fun Pak (13 last week)

The biggest climbers are The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with five spots from 9 to 4 and Mario Kart 64 with five spots from 16 to 11.

Three new games this week. Highest newcomer is the return of Paper Mario at 12. Shadow of the Ninja first visits the list at 16 and Kirby's Fun Pak re-enters the list at 20.

This means we have to say goodbye to Kirby's Adventure (13 last week), Super Metroid (14 last week, again a very short visit) and Ufouria: The Saga (17 last week).

There is a little bit of action at the top. The eternal battle between Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 is still going one. This time Super Mario 64 takes over the third spot. The biggest climber is Mario Tennis with six spots from 19 to 13. Super Smash Bros is also doing well with five spots gain from 20 to 15. The biggest dropper is The Legend of Zelda with eight spots form 10 to 18.

On a side note, I'm on holiday for the next two weeks. So unless another Dutchman will take over, the next list will be around 12-8.

See you next time...

@StarFox: Y'know what's interesting and perhaps a bit sad about that list? There's only ONE third party game on that list, and it's a "meh" NES port of Pacman. Don't get me wrong, most of those first party titles deserve to sell like crazy (with a strong exception for the NES port of Donkey Kong), but this just strengthens the outlook that third party games don't sell well on VC. I wish something from Squenix could hold a position on that list for more than its debut week (ignoring the obvious fact that Square developed Mario RPG).

What's with the sudden surge of people buying Yoshi's Story?

Yeah, it's not like Yoshi's Island is out or anything.

I still need to get it. After a fantastic youtube review a couple of years ago, I'm sure this will end up in my collection sooner then later.

@SonicMaster
It was on NintendoWeek. They did a pretty good job promoting it. I would imagine that is the reason it's selling well.

Out of those latest 20, I own 12 on vc o.O

I have 10 of the North American top 20.

The rest I either already had the originals or have no interest in.
