It's Monday morning again and that only means one thing in these parts: eShop charts.
Accidental poetry aside, here's the list of everything that's selling well in the world of 3DS digital downloads, as collated and published by Nintendo itself.
[1] denotes last week's position. [N] indicates game is a new entry. [-] indicates a non-mover.
Popular Last Week — All Downloads
Zen Pinball 3D sets this week's high score, while most Virtual Console games slip a place or hold their ground. Pop Island: Paperfield continues its rise up the charts, but Pyramids drops out of the top 10, having gone from 5 to 11 in two weeks.

The top 5 is absolutely static — hardly surprising considering the quality of the games — but newcomer Lock 'N Chase misses out on the top ten.

No change in the top 10, but Kirby continues to climb and Zen Pinball 3D cracks the top 20 in its first week. We lose Bomberman Blitz but Shantae keeps working her magic for another week.

All-Time Best Sellers – 3DS Download Software
Again a static top half of the chart, but in under five days Zen Pinball has outsold Pyramids and Urban Champion. Despite being one of the best 3D Classics, TwinBee is the worst-selling piece of 3DS download software. For shame.

Shantae at #20. Blasphemy.
I don't know, there's over 400 games on the eShop, I'd say a top 20 position is pretty good
Gogo Pinball! Incredible game!
Pretty good and Shantae don't even belong in the same sentence.
I've never played Shantae. Should I?
Yeah, but on someone else's system, so you don't have to pay. Not a 10/10 game and not worth the money (in comparison to other DSiWare titles).
I disagree with ImDiggerDan. The game is easily 10/10 in my book and well worth the money. It's twelve bucks well spent. The game is carefully and creatively crafted. It has some of the most gorgeous graphics I've seen from a game and the gameplay is fantastic. It has the quality of Super Metroid but with its own unique charm. Support this game instead of the other crap found on DSiWare. We need more games like this. (Not all on DSiWare is crap but a lot of it is and I don't want to see the same happen to the 3DS.)
All Time Best Seller List - All Downloads - EXCITEBIKE!!! (dang straight)
Tip: Dont buy pop island paperfield just because of it's low price and high sales. It is the dirtiest piece of dsiware I have ever downloaded. My opinion of course, some may like it.
@Zach Definitely! But if you do, buy it on an iOS device, since the eShop price is disgusting.
@C-Olimar
Thanks for the tip! I don't know if I'm willing to pay 12 bucks for a downloadable game, but $4.99 sounds reasonable enough, even if everyone hypes Shantae as the best game ever.
Where is cave story?
