I'm sad to report that LostWinds has finally left the chart... Although I'm certain we'll see it again.

Also, maybe you noticed that Penguins & Friends did not chart this week either and seeing as it's rather unlikely that it'll appear later on this makes it only the third game so far to not chart once on the Swedish charts (after Strong Bad Ep: 5 and Lonpos).
EDIT: Strike that. Today, the day after, it did in fact enter at 20th place. However, that won't help it much next week when FFIV most likely has hit. So I'm still pretty sure it won't be here on a "chart day".

Holy crap! Final Fantasy: The After Years is already at #1! Well, I guess I'm not too surprised, after all I'm one of the people who bought it too! Great game by the way! Hooray for change!

Whoa! WOG out of the big 3!
Major congrats to FF.
I can't believe MA is the only survivor in the big 3.
for Bit.Trip.Beat

Bad news for Bit.Trip, but awesome news for Bubble Bobble.

Anyone want to place bets on how long it'll take World of Goo to recapture the #1 spot? Or do we think it's "finally" on the way out?

NOOOO!!!! bit.trip.beat is out!!!!
anyways to the people who downloaded Final Fantasy the after years, do you think its a good game?

@ burning love: Yes!..... Yes it is
speaking of Final Fantasy. when are we getting the review?

While I'd never truly count out World of Goo, the fact that long-time nemesis My Aquarium finally beat it out on the charts makes me think the Goo has lost its momentum.

And I have to finish the Mighty Flip Champs review before I can even start the Final Fantasy IV review. I'm going as fast as I can. I had a detour yesterday covering E3.

It's finally out of the way. Swords and Soldiers will be in the top 3 in no time flat.

WTF!!! my aquarium shouldnt even be in charts!!! it should be megaman 9

@corbie: It that case no rush
@ burning love: I hear you man. I hear you.

@jpfan1989
the review shoul come soon or maybe... oh well ...
peace out!!!!

Oh yeah I almost forgot Swords and soldiers is coming next monday!!! it will go up to the top charts real fast!!!!!

Just happens that two of my assigned games came out in the same week. Doesn't happen very often, but every once in awhile I get surprised with two. I'm going to write up MFC later this evening and get started on FF4:AY after that. Shouldn't be too much longer.

The World of Goo is no longer number #1,huzzah!

I really think this Top 20 thing is fixed...

Oh no, another conspiracy theorist.

We do love fish in the UK. Further proof that Bit.Trip Fish could be a winning idea...:

1 (2) - My Aquarium
2 (1) - Swords & Soldiers
3 (3) - World of Goo
4 (4) - Texas Hold'em Tournament
5 (5) - Onslaught
6 (7) - My Pokemon Ranch
7 (6) - Pop-Up Pirate!
8 (9) - Defend Your Castle
9 (10) - Bomberman Blast
10 (8) - BIT.TRIP BEAT
11 (12) - FUN! FUN! Minigolf
12 (13) - The Incredible Maze
13 (14) - TV Show King
14 (20) - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King

18 (18) - Snowboard Riot
19 (16) - CueSports - Snooker vs. Billiards
20 (19) - Tetris Party

Up: My Aquarium back to 1. My Life As A King climbs the most, though; 6 places!
Down: Swords & Soldiers back at 2, Rainbow Islands Falls a sore 5 places.
Hello: No new entries. Fish'em All didn't break in.
Goodbye: No losses, but Tetris Party and CueSports are slipping.

ff4 should come first >.> can we have some first impressions?

Here's a first impression. If you like the original 16-bit FF4 game, this is more of the same. If you've never played the original, you're obviously not enough of a FF fan to even concern yourself with this one. Problem solved.

This is just awesome. I may have to buy WOG now that it's finally not #1 anymore.

BTW... do you have to have played FFIV to understand TAY or is it understandable on it's own?

Well that's a tricky question. It would do you good if you were a bit familiar with the original game, but it shouldn't be too tough if you haven't. But I have no way of knowing that because I've played the heck out of FF4.

I see. I've seen some of the DS remake's cutscenes, so I have at least a small grasp of the story. I'll probably get this once my system gets back home.

Oh wow.

Wow, I'm so used to WoG being the top game, I thought that we were seeing EU's top 20 list and that this was a late April Fool's joke. Hopefully WoG will continue to shine, but this is incredible news.

@ Corbie
I was about 1 or 2 when FF4 came out. Should I still buy this one? I've liked all the FF's I've played so far.

Yay, to more 7s on the way!

It's a fun FF game. I've only played about an hour of it so far, but what I've played has been typical of the FF games. If you like FF, this should prove to be right up your alley.

Geez, FF is a monster!! That said, the charts were quite interesting this week! Can FF maintain its speedy grip? Or will WoG recover? Is it finally possible that just about everyone already has it??

Yep, already in the works Dazzadoo. We're one title short.

Goo!!!!

Well, I guess it had to come someday.
But talk about 6-7 months on top
I wonnder what the total sales are

Hopefully, World of Goo sales dropping will make Kyle and Ron get in gear and work on World of Goo 2 or another game.

FF4AY is much more enjoyable if you have played the first one. I'm about five hours in and having a blast! I love me some retro games.

with the amount of money that made with goo they wouldnt need a sequel..

Incredible! "Uproar" indeed!

Canada:

1-Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
2-Bubble Bobble Plus

Holy ****.

I though FF would hit the Top 3, but number 1?!

And where the hell did Bubble Bobble come from anyway? Never knew it was that popular. Wasn't expecting that.

But, more importantly:

WORLD OF GOO HAS FALLEN! ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!!!

its great for all the love for bubble bobble at 2 but wow ff4 at 1 i never expected that but with the old school rpg goodness i am not shocked but i want to wait for more storys to dlc before i buy it

FF is just new and popular.
Not overall.

Finally WoG and My Aquarium are knocked down a bit!

I REALLY wish they would actually post sales numbers for WiiWare, VC and DSiware games.

@Rum Rapture: We can't love fish that much if Fish 'em All! isn't in the chart (but it's nice to see it surfaced in Sweden).

I couldn't be bothered with the Japanese top 20 yesterday because Fire Emblem's story has really hooked me, so that's all I've been playing outside of Wii Fit all week.

If Ratengo or someone else doesn't beat me to it I'll see about getting the numbers tonight.

gotta b happy with all the good wiiware games coming out as of late cant wait 4 swords n soldiers on mon

@Sean Aaron: You know, that hadn't even occurred to me. Really, it was just an attempt to plug the idea of Bit.Trip Fish.

Germany:
(1) 1 Swords & Soldiers
(2) 2 My Aquarium
(3) 3 Texas Hold'Em Tournament
(4) 4 World of Goo
(6) 5 Fun Fun Minigolf
(7) 6 TV Show King
(5) 7 Onslaught
(8) 8 My Pokemon Ranch

(16) 12 Crystal Defenders R2
(12) 13 Equilibrio

(14) 16 Defend Your Castle
(19) 17 Bubble Bobble Plus
(17) 18 Bit Trip Beat
(18) 19 FFCCMLaaK
(-) 20 Cue Sports

Since Cue Sports returned Crystal Defenders R1 got lost.

Fish or no fish, Bit will be back!
