Of the ten games on the list, seven were published by Nintendo, and an eighth, Professor Layton and the Final Time Travel, is from a series published by Nintendo outside of Japan. The full top ten, including four Wii games, is after the break.

I went to my local electronics store on Thursday fully intending to purchase Taiko no Tatsujin Wii, but they were completely out of stock.
Walked out with Let's Tap, Tenchu, and a Wiimote charger.

Let's Tap? Hell, i didn't know it was out yet. You should post a review or something

I'll try to post my impressions here a bit later (busy getting ready for a job interview at the moment), but probably not a full-fledged review.

Capcom's fighter didn't chart well...I think that was the disappointment of the week from the charts...I was hoping it would :(.
