A bit sad to see Zen Pinball go below SML2. Maybe the release of William's Pinball Collections harms sales a bit ?
Also goodbye for now sweet little Mario's Picross. You're still a great game in 2012 and i hope you come back soon and stronger than ever.

It's the first app you're presented with when opening a featured section of the eShop approximately called "usefuls for everyday life". Maybe that explains it.

Shame Pop'n Twinbee sells so bad. Just bought it and it's great and love the 3D. Most games I play without 3D.

Pushmo's putting up some very impressive numbers! Can't wait to see what else Nintendo has in stock for us in 2012.

Mario's the best. I Wonder how this will go through all this month. And when does this chart update?
