Impressive debut!

It's time to take a look at the most popular WiiWare titles available on the Wii Shop Channel. If you're feeling adventurous you can even take a look for yourself by simply logging on to your Wii Shop Channel, heading into the WiiWare section and then viewing "Popular Games". It's that easy!

We compile this list using the USA region Wii Shop channel, so if you live elsewhere your list will probably be quite a bit different. Please feel free to post your region's findings below as always.

Keep in mind that the list below is a measure of actual sales made recently, not of the total time the game has been available for sale.

* [N] - Denotes a brand new entry on the Top 20
* [X] - Denotes a game that was not on the Top 20 last week

Once again LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias remains in the top spot. In fact, the top four games remain intact from last week and Tetris Party manages to jump ahead of Contra Rebirth for the #5 spot.

We did see two new additions to the Top 20 this week, one old and one new. Ghost Mansion Party was the new title that managed to debut all the way up in the #11 spot and we also saw LostWinds make a re-appearance on the Top 20 this week, no surprise given the success of its sequel so far.

The big climber this week was Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 3, which jumped up eleven spots to #7. The big dropper this week was Driift Mania, which fell seven spots to #19. Could this one be on its way off the charts?

The debut of Ghost Mansion Party and the re-emergence of our old favorite LostWinds did cause both Arkanoid Plus! and Water Warfare to finally drop out of the Top 20 this week.
