Nintendo's top 10 games of 2006 (so far)

With the year half-way over, Nintendo of America's Rufus has seen fit to put out his list of top 10 games so far this year. What's surprising is that Big Brain Academy comes in at the number one spot, a place which we're fairly sure should be given to New Super Mario Bros. instead. What isn't surprising, however, is that the list is dominated by DS titles.

  1. Big Brain Academy (DS)
  2. New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
  3. True Swing Golf (DS)
  4. Drill Dozer (GBA)
  5. Super Princess Peach (DS)
  6. Chibi Robo (GCN)
  7. Super Monkey Ball Touch & Roll (DS)
  8. Tetris DS (DS)
  9. Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day (DS)
  10. Odama (GCN)
What would your own personal list look like?

March NPD Sales Chart reveals rampant heroine addiction

Though it's devoid of the actual numbers we know and love, the NPD group has released a list of the top 20 best-selling US games for the merry month of March. The list isn't terribly exciting, but it does reveal a shocking and unspeakable truth about Nintendo gamers. They've been purchasing copies of Metroid Prime: Hunters and Super Princess Peach, playing the games in grimy alleys, their depraved faces lit up only by the flicker of two LCD screens. All that for a shameful heroine fix.

The Top 20 best-selling titles for March according to NPD:
  1.     Kingdom Hearts II (PS2)
  2.     Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (360)
  3.     Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (360)
  4.     Black (PS2)
  5.     MLB 06: The Show (PS2)
  6.     Fight Night Round 3 (PS2)
  7.     Black (Xbox)
  8.     The Godfather: The Game ( PS2)
  9.     Fight Night Round 3 (360)
  10.     God of War (PS2)
  11.     Metroid Prime: Hunters (DS)
  12.     Sonic Riders (GCN)
  13.     Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)
  14.     Super Princess Peach (DS)
  15.     The Godfather: The Game (Xbox)
  16.     Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (PS2)
  17.     Fight Night Round 3 (Xbox)
  18.     Gran Turismo 4 (PS2)
  19.     24: The Game (PS2)
  20.     Burnout Revenge (360)
