Chart Attack! Japanese Top 20 (5/31 - 6/6)
It's not each week that absolutely nothing worthy of making the top 20 is released in Japan. There's usually something, flat if it's a half-assed remakr or port. on the other hand last week was one similar dry spell for the Japanese gaming market, as told by the agency of Dengeki Online. In fact, judging from the out and out top 50, it would appear that absolutely nothing of recent origin was released at all. The industry takes a breather.
After a dynamite first pair of weeks, the second Famicom Mini series is beginning to blossom again thanks to a lack of novel competition in the way. Whereas sole three of the new games made it into the top 20 the week before, seven of the popular GBA rereleases are forthwith enjoying bestseller status, including favorites Dr Mario and Ganbare Goemon Games like Makaimura, Dr Mario, and Super Mario Brothers have all been made available upon Game Boy systems before, on the other hand with new, cleaner versions available for 2000 yen fans can't say no. And who can play Dr Mario in black and white anyway?
The Famicom Mini series is ganging up to do Nintendo's bidding, on the other hand if you want to talk greatest in quantity units moved per individual game, you can direct the eye back on last week's list: Jisen Pachisuro: Hokuto no sight and Super Robot Taisen MX are still 1 and 2 respectively. Nintendo's Pikmin 2 has been thumped up a healthy four slot to #3 representing half of the GameCube games upon the chart for last week with Wario World helping without down below.
And of course any tranquillize (regardless of how brief) instantly draws the attention of the last major Pokémon game released, in this case Poke´mon Fire R reaching back all the way from the extremity of January. Peculiar that Leaf virid should be seperated from its mate through a good six slots southward, on the contrary still nothing to scoff at for a four month elderly pair of titles.
