Sigh, the only reason I stopped doing these lists is because games like Reel Fishing Challenge dominated the list week after week after week with no changes. Looks like not much has changed in a year. I've noticed that other countries have much more interesting lists than the US.

Yeah, the American list is back. So glad to see Dr. Mario Online still doing awesome in the States. I love that game.

The Dutch WiiWare List of 17-3:
1) (2) Heavy Fire: Special Operations
2) (1) chick chick BOOM
3) (5) Cosy Fire

17) (18) Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 1
18) (16) Miffy's World
19) (-) "Aha! I Found It!" Hidden Object Game
20) (-) Rage of the Gladiator

Three new game. "Aha! I Found It!" Hidden Object Game returns at 19. The other two are games with a demo. Last weeks new demo got Mix Superstar to the number 15 and Rage of the Gladiator finally makes it the number 20.

This means goodbye to:

• Bit. Trip Flux (6 last week)
• Jett Rocket (17 last week)
• Cave Story (19 last week)

We have a new number one. Heavy Fire: Special Operations reclaims the top spot again. The biggest climber however is Bejeweled 2 which climbs his way back into the top ten with a six spot gain. The biggest dropper is Pokémon Ranch with six spots as well from 9 to 15.

So how are the demo's doing? We already mentioned Mix Superstar and Rage of the Gladiator which were new this week (Rage of the Gladiator deserves it). Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 1 climbs three spots while chick chick BOOM loses the top spot but is still in the top three. Hydroventure drops one spot from 4 to 5. And Yet It Moves, Bit. Trip Beat, ColorZ, HoopWorld: BasketBrawl, LIT and Lead The Meerkats still didn't make it to the list.

With this, two games are out: Frogger Returns (16th last week) and Max & the Magic Marker (20th). The biggest dropper is Contra Rebirth with eight spots, from 11th to 19th.

Two classic games returns to this list: Rage of the Gladiator and World of Goo, both in the bottom spots. So, three games are out: JellyCar 2 (14th last week), Tetris Party (19th) and Urbanix (20th).

Biggest Gainer: Texas Hold'em Tournament
Overall not much change from last week. I'm surprised to see Texas Hold'em spiking so long after it was released. It wasn't even this high a year ago!

The Mexican WiiWare Top 20 from March 25th:

1 (3) - Pucca's kisses game
2 (4) - Heavy Fire: Black Arms
3 (2) - chick chick BOOM

19 (X) - Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 1
20 (X) - Chess Challenge!

Pucca's kisses game takes again the top position of this list (can't believe it!!). Only two new entries, both in the bottom of the list: Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 1 and Chess Challenge!. This week we say goodbye to Rabbids Lab (14th last week and also the biggest dropper), and Fluidity (20th). The biggest climber is My Pokémon Ranch with seven spots, from 17th to 10th.

A bit late (blame the 3DS), but here is the Dutch WiiWare List of 24-3:
1) (1) Heavy Fire: Special Operations
2) (2) chick chick BOOM
3) (15) My Pokémon Ranch
4) (12) UNO
5) (16) Tetris Party
6) (4) Arcade Essentials
7) (3) Cosy Fire
8) (7) Bejeweled 2
9) (13) Mix Superstar
10) (-) Lilt Line
11) (-) Bingo Party Deluxe NEW
12) (10) Spot the Differences!
13) (14) Jewel Keepers: Easter Island
14) (-) My Zoo
15) (5) Hydroventure
16) (6) Pokémon Rumble
17) (8) My Aquarium
18) (-) Ben 10: Alien Force - The Rise of Hex
19) (11) Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 1
20) (19) "Aha! I Found It!" Hidden Object Game

Four new games. The highest newcomer is Lilt Line at the tenth spot. So even though the developers are complaining. It's doing pretty good in The Netherlands. Last weeks release Bingo Party Deluxe is also doing very well by entering at 11. Furtermore we see the return of My Zoo at 14 and (I think) the first time for Ben 10 to make it to the list.

This spells the end for:

• Art of Balance (9 last week) - It did have an awesome second run because of the demo's.
• Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 (17 last week)
• Miffy's World (18 last week) - Curious fact is that both Miffy's World and Sonic 4 came out on the same day, and both are leaving the same day.
• Rage of the Gladiator (20 last week)

The biggest climber is My Pokémon Ranch with an amazing twelve spots from 15 to 3. Also doing exceptional are Tetris Party (eleven spots) and UNO (eight spots gain).

The biggest droppers are Hydroventure and Pokémon Rumble with ten spots. My Aquarium drops nine spots while Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 1 drops eight.

So what about the demo's. We talked about the big droppers in Hydroventure and Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 1 and Rage of the Gladiator which drops of the list completely. Mix Superstar climbs with four spots while chick chick BOOM remains in second spot. And Yet It Moves, Bit. Trip Beat, HoopWorld: BasketBrawl, LIT, Lead the Meerkats and last weeks demo, Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 2, didn't make it to the list.

I still find it funny that this game just randomly took off and is back on the Top 20. XD

The Dutch WiiWare List of 31-3:
1) (2) chick chick BOOM
2) (11) Bingo Party Deluxe
3) (1) Heavy Fire: Special Operations
4) (3) My Pokémon Ranch
5) (14) My Zoo
6) (4) UNO
7) (9) Mix Superstar

15) (10) Lilt Line
16) (-) Where's Wally? Fantastic Journey 1 NEW
17) (19) Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 1
18) (7) Cosy Fire
19) (-) Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1
20) (6) Arcade Essentials

Four new games this week. Highest newcomer is the demoless Art of Balance. Left the list last week and is already back at 12. A demo also help Lead the Meerkats which enters at 13. We find last weeks Where's Wally? Fantastic Journey 1 at 16 and after a week of absence Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 returns at 19. This means we have to say goodbye to:

• Jewel Keepers: Easter Island (13 last week)
• My Aquarium (17 last week)
• Ben 10: Alien Force - The Rise of Hex (18 last week)
• "Aha! I Found It!" Hidden Object Game (20 last week)

We also have a new top 3. chick chick BOOM reclaims the top spot again, shoving Heavy Fire: Special Operations to the third spot. In between we find Bingo Party Deluxe with a nine spot gain from 11 to 2. This makes it our biggest climber, together with My Zoo which also climbs nine spots from 14 to 5.

The biggest dropper is Arcade Essentials with fourteen spots from 6 to 20. Cosy Fire is cooling down too by losing eleven spots from 7 to 18.

So how are the demo's doing? We already talked about chick chick BOOM once again reclaiming the top spot and Lead the Meerkats entering the list at 13. But what about the others? They had a pretty good week as well. Mix Superstar climbs two from 9 to 7 and Hydroventure climbs five from 15 to 10. And Yet It Moves, Bit. Trip Beat, LIT, Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 2 and Rage of the Gladiator didn't make it to the list. Last weeks demo of Fast Draw Showdown also didn't brought the game back to the top 20, but it did pretty well in the past.

Falling Fast: Heavy Fire Special Ops
Overall not much movement from last week besides Mix Superstar making its debut at 11 on the list, and Heavy Fire Special Ops dropping to its lowest level in awhile. Maybe we'll get lucky enough to see it fall off the chart soon? Two games to keep an eye on over the next few weeks are Liight and Mix Superstar. How high will they go? I really think if Liight got a demo it would race up the charts, but we'll have to wait and see if that happens.

Three game leave the chart: Jett Rocket (16th last week), Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 1 (19th) and Chess Chalenge! (20th). The biggest dropper is My Pokémon Ranch with five spots, from 10th to 15th.

ON: Aha! I Found It! Hidden Object Game, Dart Rage
OFF: Texas Hold'em Tournament, Learning With the Pooyoos

Well, clearly Dart Rage has benefited because of its demo, as it debuts at #7. Quite surprising indeed considering it was released OVER A YEAR AGO on March 1st, 2010. There is no other explanation besides the demo, so maybe that's a good sign for the future of demos.
Unfortunately Liight is clinging onto the #20 spot. I had hope that this game would make it to the top of the chart, but I don't think it's gonna make it just yet. (Demo please???)

Dart Rage is back on the charts? Sweet! But seriously, how... or why the heck is Family Go-Kart Racing still selling?!

Honestly I have NO IDEA why Family Go-Kart Racing is still on the chart. It's been up there for a year with no signs of slowing down. You'd think everyone would have figured out how horrible it is by now...but I guess not.

The Dutch WiiWare List of 7-4:
1) (1) chick chick BOOM
2) (3) Heavy Fire: Special Operations
3) (16) Where's Wally? Fantastic Journey 1
4) (2) Bingo Party Deluxe

17) (-) World of Goo
18) (-) Ben 10: Alien Force - The Rise of Hex
19) (-) Jewel Keepers: Easter Island
20) (-) Fast Draw Showdown

Four new games this week, all in the bottom of the list. We see the return of World of Goo, Ben 10: Alien Force - The Rise of Hex, Jewel Keepers: Easter Island and, thanks to the demo, Fast Draw Showdown.

This means we have to say goodbye to:

• Bejeweled 2 (11 last week)
• Art of Balance (12 last week)
• Lilt Line (15 last week)
• Arcade Essentials (20 last week)

There is no doubt who the biggest climber is this week. Where's Wally? Fantastic Journey 1 climbs an amazing thirteen spots from 16 all the way to the third spot. The biggest dropper is My Pokémon Ranch. It drops five spots from 4 to 9.

So how are the demo's doing? we already talked about Fast Draw Showdown making it's return to the list. chick chick BOOM is still at the top of the list. Mix Superstar remains in the seventh spot. And Yet It Moves, Bit. Trip Beat, LIT, Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 2 and Rage of the Gladiator didn't make it to the list again. Last weeks demo, Soccer Bashi, didn't convince enough people to buy the full game.

I just got around to playing the Dart Rage demo and plan to get the full version soon.

IN: Play With Birds, World of Goo
OUT: Aha! I Found It! Hidden Object Game, Liight

Well, there are two obvious stories this week. First, Play With Birds has made the Top 20 list its first week on the market. It makes its entry at #18, just one spot behind World of Goo, which has reemerged onto the list. Honestly, I'm surprised, but not surprised that Play With Birds made the list. With other quality hits like Family Go-Kart Racing and Reel Fishing Challenge II on the list, why not? The other major story of the week is the surging Dart Rage making its way up to #4. How high will it go? I think this game has benefited more from its demo than any other....don't you think? Till next week...(when Play With Birds enters the top 3 probably)
