Topic: The free VC games have really changed the popularity list

Every free NES game is counted as a regular download as far as the popularity list is concerned. Its interesting to see what NES games have made a reappearance today. Even Donkey Kong 1 has returned.

Whats it like in America?

It doesn't effect me! but I'd down load either Zelda II or I don't know....

I'll take a gander later, I downloaded River City Ransom, but I doubt it'll make it back into the top 20

i think they did final fantasy is #3 in U.S.
not sure if it was already like that though

Final Fantasy was #3 last weekend. It has been climbing the charts since it first came out, and I'm happy to see it doing so well. I'm sure the free NES game is only improving it's already great sales, that's what I'm gonna spend mine on

To heck with Final Fantasy.

Downloaded River City Ransom too, game rocks! With so many quality 2d side scrollers coming to the Wii it would be great to see an update

If you got the internet channel beta free at launch, does that count for the free nes game??

I'm sure it doesn't. Just for people that paid for it.

I was wondering if they would be counted. Guess they are.

Nice to see some people downloading RCR... what a great game.

Barf!
