Climbing back up...

So the Wii is out in the US and already rumoured to have sold through around 750,000 units in an amazingly short time. However, over here Nintendo fans are left with XBOX 360 and Nintendo DS games to tide them over. But whilst there is a lot on offer for 360 fans, DS owners only have a new Pok

Im not too suprised Gears is the 2nd best seller athough nintendo will hopefully have a good hold in the market by the time they bring in the wii.

The DS is a beast even GTA on the PSP can't even do that well

Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

I find it hilarious that the DS has sold more than the 360 in the UK yet we rarely see DS games topping the chart (yeah, they do well, but its not often that they top it, eh?)

Ah well. Dirge of Cerberus is a legend of game turd anyway Smilie

Not great but it's nice to see Nintendo actually being IN the charts for once after the last oh million years.

The situation was the same with the GBA for a LONG time...The only games that would crack the Top 10 on a regular basis were Pok

That's brilliant to hear Yoshi's Island 2 is so good, next week then? I'll have to get it for me Birthday! Smilie

I guess the DS is just a phenom, innit? Smilie When the dry season stops, next Spring, the DS & the Wii are gonna completely Sonic Heroes the opposition's ass.... with the help of the GBA. & since GBA is so useless nowadays, it gets to be the fly type. Smilie

Wii is Speed type, because of the overwhelming sales in it's first weeks, & DS is power, because it has the entire world under it's command Smilie

YAY!

it is true that no Nintendo DS game has hit no.1 but the DS games have legs for example Dead Rising and DOA all hit no.1 spot but plumeted seriously they were lucky if they had 3 weeks in the top 40, and a classic example is Animal Crossing it is still around the top 30

Hah! Quoting me showed the word "turd"...lol

I completely agree, I mean, Zoo Tycoon is the prime example of a pretty meh game with legs, no?

Nintendo and Pokemon million seller!!! Smilie

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!! Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Age of Empires, Tomb Raider Legend...where are they? And Micro Machines v4? There are games that are meant to be out, but nowhere to be seen. Unless they've been delayed (again).
