In its ongoing quest to catch em all Pokemon Ranger defeats last weeks All Formats Champion TMNT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, presenting Nintendo with their first All Formats No1 since Pokemon Ruby on GBA just under 4 years ago.
Pokemon Ranger becomes the 6th Pokemon title to reach the top of the All Formats Chart in the past 10 years, while also being the first Pokemon title on DS to reach No1 in the DS chart. Ubisofts TMNT slips one place to No2, almost losing out to Wii Play, which rises from No24 to No4 thanks to strong availability. It is another good week for Nintendos handheld there are 7 DS exclusive games featuring in the All Formats Top 40 with Harvest Moon DS from Rising Star Games storming into 4th place after not making the Top 40 when it was released last week. Other DS exclusives making their first All Formats Top 40 appearances are Nintendos Hotel Dusk: Room 215 at No22 in its second week, while All-Time Classics re-enters at No21 and 505 Games Cooking Mama gets its first taste of All Formats Chart success at No35. Two more PS3 games are launched this week, pushing the total number of PS3 games to 25. Both games are ports Vivendis F.E.A.R debuts at No3 in the PS3 Chart (No17 All Formats) behind Motorstorm and Resistance, while the postponed The Godfather from EA begins life in the PS3 Chart at No10. In a week low on the ground for new releases, the only individual format chart to witness a change at the top is Xbox 360 with Crackdown up from No2 to No1.
