nice:D

but seriously WTF with number 8

Family Table Tennis beat LostWinds.

There might be something to this "wii owners don't know anything" theory.

Both 5 dollar games scored high

Maybe that'll show the devs that if you're a nobody making a nothing game like LostWinds you should set the first game for a low price to get more people hooked?

At least 2 "small" devs were smart enough to get it right.

Remember that Toki Tori is a new game. It's been gradually moving up the ranks and I think will continue to do so. I think the only reason Protothea is numer 10 is that it's been on the front page of the shop channel since it's launch. How much do you think Ubisoft payed them for that? It should be Toki Tori up there instead.

where did you find this chart? its authenticity looks questionable, i'd expect lostwinds to be higher tooGFM711

Nintendo has the final say for pricing since they get a portion of the profit.

I meant new compared to other WiiWare games. Toki Tori just came out on Monday.

Seems about right. Lostwinds probably deserves to go up more, but it doesn't appeal to a huge amount of people.

Nice to see Final Fantasy doing well. :D

How is Critter Round Up not on there?BubbyJello

It's dead last. (#12)

WTH... I guess it's the price. Or am I the only person who was interested enough in it to buy it?

Yeah I bet it's the price. Or maybe your latter suggestion.

I bought it and like it. You just have to give games a chance, and also, people talk down family table tennis, but I got it before the reviews cam out, and I think the game is great, and I had no problems with it.

Yup you were the only person interested in buying it:P

And why is Lostwinds so low:cry:

LostWinds is a good game, but way over priced.
I thought FFCC was over priced, but that game puts out more game than LW does. Sheeyoot, I feel like even Star Soldier R puts out more game than LW. It seriously should have been priced at 500-600 points.
EmilioDigsIt

Agreed. Thanks for posting this TC.

Prediction for next mondays rankings:

1. Dr. Mario

2. Defend Your Castle

3. Pokemon Ranch

4. FFCC My Life As A King

5. Table Tennis

6. TV Show King

7. POP

8. LostWinds

9. Toki Tori

10. Blackjack

Any other predictions?

Here's some unsurprising but nevertheless scary news. My Pokemon Ranch has already out sold the last place game Critter Round Up in no more than 4 and a half hours. ECG_24

LOL thats sad

I wonder why no ones buying LostWinds there? For PAL regions it's at #1, even above Dr. Mario and My Life As a King.

What makes you think this list actually takes into account sales numbers?

Not exactly surprised, but Everyone's Pokemon Ranch is now neck to neck with Dr. Mario, ranking at #2. Wonder if it'll be #1 by the end of the day.SomeOddGuy

Thank's for the info, I just checked about a half hour ago and it was number 3. Well this makes it official;Nintendo has the best selling games on WiiWare.

lostwinds and toki tori should be way above family table tennis. thats sadair_wolf_cubed

I heard Lost Winds might be go-...umm... excuse me. wtf is that in your sig

It's official: the worst game on WiiWare is now it's bestselling one.ECG_24

I knew it. And it's because it has the Pokemon brand on the title.

You can't really call it the worse WiiWare title. If you are a hardcore diamond/pearl player and do a hell of alot of breeding for your team yes it can be very useful. If you have pokemon diamond and pearl and have some pokemon in your PC that just lay there. Pop em in the Ranch and watch themrun around. Other than that Pokemon Ranch is the worst game(Value wise) But it all depends on you is actually playing it. However for people that don't on or like the pokemon games then it is just a screensaver for your wii.

If it was say 500 wii points then it could be actually a good deal. I might be picking it up once I get my DS, pokemon diamon and Guitar Hero that is if I do some competitive battling like I did in Emerald.

Actually it is the worst title compared to the other 12 WiiWare games. It may be useful to some people but comparitively it's the worst thing on WiiWare.

Actually, it has an incredible "DAAAAAAAW" factor.

Hell, even I thought it was adorable, and I lurk around /a/ and /v/.

Now to pick:

Pokemon Ranch vs. LostWinds.

Can't decide! MPR seems pointless though.
