Here is the list for the 3rd of December:

- World of Goo

- Tetris Party
3 (4) - My Aquarium

N denotes a new entry
World of Goo continues its reign this week and once again Tetris Party is right on its heels. My Aquarium managed to jump back up to the #3 spot again with last week's #3 title Brain Challenge dropping down two places to #5.
Both of last week's new entries have now entered the Top 20. Sudoku Challenge comes in at #10 and Boingz grabs the bottom spot at #20. Unfortunately neither of this week's WiiWare releases has managed to make the Top 20 as of yet.
The biggest climber this week was Sudoku Challenge which went from not even charting all the way up to the #10 spot, while the biggest dropper was Strong Bad Episode 4 - Dangeresque 3 which dropped 6 spots. The Strong Bad releases tend to come on strong and then fade fast. Strong Bad Episode 3 - Baddest of the Bands has now joined Episode 1 and 2 dropping completely off the charts altogether.

1st post yay for me. Anyway its great news that TIM and Pong Toss have both dropped in the chart. Next up they fall off the charts.
Im always a bit confused about why theres lament about the new releases not showing up on the list 2 days after theyre released.
Well it's a rare thing for new releases to show up that quickly, but since it has happened before, I figured I'd at least make small talk about it.
It seems that games need a week if they are good to make it into the top 20.

This week's wall of text presents you with:
New games this Friday which means lots of exciting things happening next week. Could we possibly get 4 games this week too? Might be too much to hope for but I'm optimistic. Could it finally be time for Gradius Rebirth? Pretty please?
Really makes me happy to keep seeing world of goo out there, as a game gets great reviews and the sales to match it, shows other companies that if they make a great game it will sell.
Sadly it appears good (8/10) games, are a much harder sell.
Well it's a rare thing for new releases to show up that quickly, but since it has happened before, I figured I'd at least make small talk about it.
Oh yeah mentioning it is fine, I just wish you wouldnt sound so sad about it!
I remember the LAST time Corbie was super depressed. The surviving families got the flowers by the way.
I knew Sudoku would do really well. I expect it to stay on the top 20 for a long time and will probably spawn a bunch of copycat titles.
Its a shame Mega Man 9 is slipping
i'm pretty stunned lost winds is still doing so well. i just removed it from my fridge to make room for space invaders.
i didn't notice. when did all of the art style games fall out?
@ WarioFan63 - I guess it would be worth mentioning more if a new release did make the Top 20 instead of those that didn't make it. In truth, I needed some filler and that was there for the taking.
@ wanderlustwarrior - Someone didn't read the comments in the last Top 20. Check comment #17.
I'm surprised that Get Even didn't shoot to the top of the charts. Being only 500 points, it's one of the cheapest games ever on the system. Perhaps WiiWare customers are well educated customers? (Yet games like Pokemon Ranch do well. So maybe not.)
Oh, and if you want my opinion (which I'm sure you don't), it's a waste of 500 points. The first level (2 areas + 1 boss) can be zipped through in minutes, leaving you feeling like you just flushed your points down the toilet. Wish I'd kept them for GH:WT DLC. :-/
If you decide to get Get Even, approach it with the idea of spending $20 on a budget title. (Which, without the disc, seems too expensive for my cheapskate nature.) Otherwise you're going to be disappointed.
@Ratengo - Awesome! Thanks for the info! I have no idea what half those games are, but it's still cool to know!
Worid of Goo should stay on the top for many weeks; it's curious how some games like DYC and LW seem as they're gonna stay in the charts forever, meanwhile others fluctuate too much, the good thing is that Pong Toss will be out soon, I hope. Oh, yes and Go The Incredible Maze!
@Ratengo
WELCOME!
What?, Japan got an Horoscope Channel, those lucky ba***rds.
Corbie, if you need filler, I suggest doing a song and dance routine. Itll be bigger then High School Musical!
Hi Ratengo: you have one of my old avatars! Ah well, I'll let you keep it - especially since we got the Japanese charts listed - AWESOME! Oh, and does that MM9 subheading say what I think it says?
These charts went up much earlier today didn't they? Djungelurban still wasn't perturbed by this though I see.
@Twilight Crow: here's the full story - it doesn't seem likely we'll be getting this. Like with the TV Listings, TV viewing and Photo printy channels. Meh - at least it wasn't important.
Anyways: onto the UK charts:
1) My Aquarium
2) NEW Art Style: CUBELLO
3) NEW CueSports - Snooker vs Billiards
4) Tetris Party
5) TV Show King
6) Brain Challenge
7) The Incredible Maze
8) Bomberman Blast
9) SPACE INVADERS GET EVEN
10) Defend your Castle
11) NEW Strong Bad Episode 3 Baddest of the Bands
12) My Pokemon Ranch
13) Wild West Guns
14) LostWinds
15) FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a King
16) NEW Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam
17) Mega Man 9 (yes, I know...)
18) Cocoto Fishing master
19) Helix
20) Midnight Pool
A fairly interesting chart this week, then. Games released on the last "WiiWare day" marked as new, just as they are on the Wii Shop Channel.
Next week, we will hopefully have a few different choices, with Rotohex and Bang both being released at 600 points each. The big question though, is will we get WoG, and will it sell as well as in the land of hope and glory or whatchamacallit.
America - that's the one.
TIM's at #16, and DYC climbed up a position! That makes me proud! And Boingz finally hit the charts... Barely!
@Ratengo. Welcome! Nice to see there's someone here to give us a lowdown of Japan's charts.
welcome rantengo =P
@ WarioFan63 - Asking me to dance is like asking a chimp to do calculus. Just not going to happen.
Fine, write off all my hopes of watching you do the Charleston!
@corbie
dang! that`d be sooo funny 2 see you dance corbie lol
For some reason, id like Nintendo to release a chart showing how many downloads a game got. Of couse they arn't but still.
@Wiiloveit
Thanks for the link; I don't believe we're gonna get it over here either, those japanese guys keep getting lots and lots of channels and we just got the nintendo one, well that's the way it has always been; still, I wonder how do they make space for all those channels on the Wii's memory?
Btw good luck getting WoG, this week!
I saw a boxed version of 'TV show king' in a shop yesterday for three times the WiiWare price. What's that about? Same version...?
@Corbie: what if we threaten you with your beautiful white TV?
@Twilight_Crow: they must do it by magic. I had to delete my Everybody Votes Channel the other day - even though after 100 votes and still being 2.0m from popular opinion
@Robster!: It's a different version, with more questions, slightly updated presentation, better scoring, choice of question categories, and new "last one standing" and team modes, with the option to play the final duel separately also being available. I think it's fairly good and if you see it cheap, it's a good improvement on the original.
@Wiiloveit: Thanx, the review answered all my questions and more..
Now I'll just have to wait at the bargain bin, hope it doesn't take too long.
German charts, didn't check the previous ones so no idea how things changed.
1. My Aquarium
2. Brain Challenge
3. Art Style: CUBELLO
4. Tetris Party
5. TV Show King
6. Cue Sports - Snooker vs Billiards
7. Bomberman Blast
8. The Incredible Maze
9. Midnight Bowling
10. LostWinds
11. Wild West Guns
12. Space Invaders Get Even
13. Mega Man 9
14. Defend Your Castle
15. Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam
16. Helix
17. FFCC: My Life As A King
18. My Pokémon Ranch
19. Midnight Pool
20. Alien Crush Returns
Us Europeans need to have a bit more respect for Mega Man 9, methinks. Well, not the Swedish.
#21: And if it was done, it would be done badly as if they didn't know what they were doing. And I am very surprised that Megaman 9 is dropping so much. I still think overall sales for Megaman 9 are quite higher than games who are regularly near the top.
If only ACR got the sales it deserved. Thankfully though, since it's by a relatively big publisher/developer, at least they're not going to throw in the towel (this time)
Yay! My Pokémon Ranch stayed still! Also, Beer Toss dropped!
(Yes. The fates of My Pokémon Ranch and Beer Toss are my priorities in these types of posts... )
@Ratengo
Thanks for the video, what a nice little channel we ain't gonna get
@Wiiloveit
What a shame, I'm very fond of the EVChannel, had to erase somthing the other day and I picked my Groovin' Blocks instead
Btw I totally agree with you, ACR is a great title, why oh why is not on those charts?
@MarkyVigoroth
My priorities in these "Top 20" posts are the fates of The Incredible Maze and Pong Toss.
@Twilight Crow: The main reason I got rid of it was because if only takes a few seconds now, but I'll still give it a look once a week.
I don't believe how bad ACR is doing!
It's a good game!
