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.
Here is the list for the 11th of February:
1 - Tetris Party
2 (3) - My Aquarium
3 - World of Goo
4 (4) - Cue Sports - Pool Revolution
5 (5) - Dr Mario Online Rx
6 (9) - Midnight Bowling
7 (6) - Fun! Fun! Minigolf

16 (14) - Tiki Towers
17 (16) - Mega Man 9
18 (17) - Bomberman Blast
19 (19) - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King
20 (18) - Frat Party Games - Pong Toss
* (N) - Denotes a new entry on the Top 20
Well World of Goo continues its slow descent this week, with My Aquarium now jumping ahead of it. The "Big Three" are still intact, but they're now changing positions. Tetris Party once again remains in the top spot and looks like it might be there for awhile.
The big climber this week was Hudson's Snowboard Riot, which came flying in from off the charts to #14. The big droppers this week were Tiki Towers and Pong Toss, both of which fell two spots. In a surprising twist, it seems Midnight Bowling is enjoying a bit of a resurgence climbing up three spots to #6. Sadly, High Voltage Hot Rod Show didn't remain on the charts for very long, as it dropped completely off after only one week in the Top 20.
Once again we're not seeing a lot of movement from week to week, which could be due to the ever-growing number of WiiWare titles that are available. We'll have to wait until next week to see if World of Goo will regain some momentum or continue to drop down the chart.

Good bye Pong Toss!
This should be your last week on the charts. I thought Lit would show up. Maybe next week
What if Hudson dominates Wii Ware so much that the whole top 20 is nothing but Hudson games
Yeah, we might see Lit on the chart next week.

SEE i said it last week, everyone has world of goo now.
@diegoesgriam: My Aqaurium's japanese name is awesome! Blue Oasis...
@tkubas1: I don't. Shock horror!
I think WoG will drop out of top 3 soon...even though I really don't want it to. However tkubas1 prob has the right idea it is probably the most bough Wii Ware Game so far...so chances are a vast amount of people already have it by now. Which means sales were EPIC for 2DBoy so hopefully we'll here news of a new game coming from them.
You realize that World of Goo will drop one spot every week, and that the universe will end the night it falls out of the top 20...right?
Yeah, it doesn't mean that World of Goo isn't selling well - it just means that most people have already bought it. For all you guys know, it could have sold three times as many copies as other previous number one games, but without a proper figure, we will never know. Either way, I think that it is good that WoG has had a good spot in the limelight - it really deserved it. I wonder if it will end up in Japan in the future?
I must say that I'm also surprised at Snowboard Riot's low starting position. Very unusual... hopefully LIT will do better next week.
@Japanese Wii Man: Is Okiraku Sugoroku the name for Pop Up Pirate over there?
@Chicken Brutus: If I've done my maths right (snigger), then that means that the world is going to end just about my Birthday in June. NOESES!
ADDED: Oh, and also: I'm afraid that I don't quite have the time to post up the charts every week now, this week being one of them, but I'll add the UK charts every now and then when I get chance - sorry guise
Woah, I didn't even know about some of those Japanese Wiiware games...They sound interesting. I hope some of them come to America!
Yeah, like tkubas1 said, everyone (except me, because I don't want it) has WoG now so it can't really go any higher, infact, it can only drop slowly off the charts.
Wog in third!!!!!
WHATS HAPPENING TO THIS WORLD (of goo )!!!!!!
I still don't have WoG. I still don't want it.
I'm still amazed at how many people are choosing to watch virtual fish swim around- instead of buying great multiplayer games like Bomberman! C'mon peeps! I wanna see some B-man action!
At least there's plenty of you Tetris-ers!
World of Goo is in third?
Time for WoG2
Oh well...I just hope these World of Goo topspots over the past many months have translated into a decent amount of cash for 2D Boy...
I guess everyone already has world of goo so it will probably continue to drop over the next couple of weeks.
i think that the 1500 point price is coming back to it in the long run
@Ian Daemon: try it - you won't regret it. Or... if you're really stubborn, at least give the PC demo a go - but just remember that the Wii controls offer the best precision and fun.
WHATS HAPPENING TO THIS WORLD (of goo )!!!!!!
That. Was. Awful. And not in a good "oh, that pun was clever, but rubbish" sort of way. Just in a "wth?!?" sort of way. Sorry, but rest assured that I'll probably say something much worse in future (pun-wise, that is).
Quick, to My Aquarium!
"Cue Batman Music"
Sorry, just thought i'd try an awful pun. Oh well. No Surprises this week then. WOG falling isn't a big surprise, although it looks like we'll finally see FFCC: MLAAK fall off the charts. What a Shame.
Aside from MLaaK, DYC and TV Show King are the last launch titles. Both seem like they intend to hang in there for quite a while.
The first week WoG was not #1 I was shocked. I wonder if it will have a swift fall or hang in the middle for a while first.
Didn't know that anyone cared about my WoT. Huh! Who knew! Anyway, right now I just don't have time to write them for reasons I'm not gonna go into. Sorry, deal with it.

@wiiloveit: yes, I do make particulary bad puns, but thats why its fun
Swedes sure love their Megaman.
Nuff respect.
Bad puns make the world go round. Hope WOG stays or does better and that Beer Pong falls off next week. Other than that, it doesn't really interest me.
What's "Everybody Wii Theater"? And it's Japan only, right?
-
I'm glad the Swedish like Bomberman; they like minigolf too, from the looks of it. At least "My Aquarium" isn't in the top 3.
Aw, WoG is only at #3? But I just got it! I hope it doesn't fall down even more next week...
@diegoesriam: A lot of those don't surprise me. I like WarioWare too, but how did you get that info?
@anthonyb: Same here. I have no clue what it is, but I think it's that Wii TV thingy they announced.
Nooooooo! I'll be so mad if WoG drops out of the top 3. Neither Tetris nor My Aquarium are even close to being as good, especially My Aquarium.
@anthonyb: The TV channel is a Japn only TV channel on the Wii. It has a bunch of stuff, mostly cartoons.
@O_B: Yeah, life would be dull without bad puns
Yay! Pong Toss is almost out of Top 20!
I bought World of Goo and Tetris Party at the same day and it was last week. Does my purchase of Tetris Party make Tetris on the top? Oh well, I love both games so I don't care which one is first.
@Wiiloveit: No, Okiraku Sugoroku is a new game form Okiraku Series (in America Family Series by Aksys), Sugoroku is a board game, pirate themed. http://arcsystemworks.jp/sugoroku/
@tatemon555: The information was in iNSIDE for Nintendo, japanese page. I posted a link in my post
Yeah, go Snowboard Riot! It's proven by how many people you can find online now!
And oh noez! FFCCMLK is about to get knocked off! lol.
It appears WoG's pricepoint is finally getting to it. Still, what a run it had, and most likely, it will stay strong for a while. As I've said before, it's going to be really weird when FFCCMLK falls off the list.
So is World of Goo stil #1 in Canada? Is any Canadian going to post the top 20 for Canada?
Good, Snowboard Riot in, Pong Toss almost out
Good Bye World of Goo - Whaaa
@34. PEICanada7: Why don't you do it? Fire up your Shop Channel, select Wiiware, Popular Titles, and copy down the information. Jogurt_the_Yogurt is normally quite adamant about posting the Canadian top 20 list; but he hasn't posted here yet...
@Ian Daemon: I too see no attraction in World of Goo; yes I have tried the PC demo. It's okay, but not my cup of tea.
wheres LIT ????
im predicting it will b in the top 5 next week
Gametrailers is showing some Japanese footage of Okiraku Sugoroku (aka family pirate board game). Its text heavy, so I wonder if it will arrive in the states.
"PEICanada7: Why don't you do it?"
Well I would if I could, but I don't own a Wii yet. I still like to know how well games like World of Goo is selling though.
I can't wait for Everyone's Wii Theater and Smash Bros. 64 to come to America.
WORLD OF GOO ISN'T FIRST!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!
@Sean: First platformers now WoG. What do you like?
@ALDAWGS: I doubt it - but I'm hoping that it'll break the top ten.
@Djungelurban: I actually care about the WoT, but I just constantly poke fun at it every time you write one up. Ah well...
To US: Only one more "instant hit" before I can truly say, "See ya (not), Beer Toss. Deleted."
To Japan, YAY FOR POLE!
To Bahamut 0-san:
"WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THIS WORLD (of goo)!!!"
Exactly. Most of the Wii owners DO have World of Goo (Sekai no Guu?), hence the Wii gaming world really being literally a "World of Goo". (Myself, I have yet to obtain the appropriate Wii Points card, and, since my brothers' birthdays being around the corner, the next Wii Points card would not be enough (and I currently do not have enough to buy another...).
(Wii type)
@Bahamut ZERO: Godzilla Unleashed...I've played that many many times.
its odd on some of the games in the top 20 but its good to see world of goo in the top 3, and defend your castle/ my life as a king in the top 20
I don't understand why Jungle Speed hasn't made it up to the top of this list. I've had it since it came out and still have fun with large groups. I've played most of the games on this list and none have the playing enjoyment time of Jungle Speed, especially with a group.
