Sorry, new to thread and its not quite clear. What do the numbers in parenthesis beside the title mean? Are those total sles for the month? Sales to date? Your title says "All time new US e-shop charts" , which confused me.

Number of ratings for each game.

Not entirely sure myself but I think that's the total number of user-ratings a game has got.

I think they are based on a 1-5 scale rating, but the number in the charts does not reflect how well has been received unless you specifically view this game on the eShop.

You guys should really post those charts in another thread.

Seconded. I know I used to post the Japanese charts (Oracle of Ages/Seasons 1 & 2, Shaun the Sheep video 3 and Animal Crossing 4 btw) but there isn't enough significant happening in the world of Nintendo to see top twenties occupy a bulk of this thread.

And lacklustre UK week but I shouldn't complain, I can't even afford Luigi's Mansion and Monster Hunt until April!

Those numbers merely tell you how many times a game has been rated by people who purchased the game. Nintendo doesn't give sales figures or allow devs to talk about sales figures, and we don't know what percentage of customers actually bother to rate the games they buy, but it's all we really have to gauge how things are selling, so they get posted anyway.

They should really give more options when rating.

"Gamers" or "Everyone", "Intense" or "Casual", they're pretty wide parameters.
Click to expand...

I don't get why they don't bother publishing the gender/age breakdowns on the reviews page. Maybe they think it constitutes a privacy breach, or maybe they just want to keep those figures private so they can brag about them at investors' briefings, I don't know.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo does that just to collect demographic data just like the club Nintendo surveys.

Since it's come up: would people be interested in a dedicated eShops charts thread? Do you think the charts provide enough information to sustain a thread of their own? Are people really bothered by all the charts posted here?

Sure, but I don't see the harm in making that data public, too.

Yes, I agree about a dedicated charts thread. If we had, like, weekly updates from each region, that might be more palatable for this thread, but as it stands it's a bit much. :p

9/10 for Nano Assault EX.

Conclusion

Nano Assault EX basically offers up exactly what you'd expect from an eShop upgrade release — better controls, more options, and a brand new mode. And as if all of these bonuses weren't enough, Shin'en is also pricing the title at an extremely affordable £12.49/$14.99. Make no mistake, Nano Assault was already an amazing retail shmup — those of you who have picked it up already will know this — but for anyone who's been holding out on purchasing the title, the new upgrades and manageable price should give you all the incentive you need to finally give this impressive shoot 'em up a blast.

Man, I think the Etrian Odyssey 4 demo spoiled me as a first impression for eShop demos. I spent 10 hours on it and ended up with the subconscious assumption that all of the other demos were like this. In comparison, the demos for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (2 hours + magnagates here and there) and Fire Emblem (thirty minutes) felt like a crash after the high.

Most Wanted U is not going to get any DLC, apart from the one that's included. Or at least that's what the EA guy said in a presentation of the game.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free

Garbage. Why no NES or GBC release?
Like, what is their actual reason, I wonder.
Click to expand...

Since when does Nintendo need a reason to screw shit up ? But i would guess, that selling original eShop games from indie devs is more important than filling up the VC libary.

when did anyone from EA ever say this?

besides why did the developer name drop Wii U features not once but twice while demoing the PS3 version of the DLCs?

In an event presenting the game here in Spain. He said that Criterion thought the Wii U game "already had a lot of content so there was no need for more" and I was like "yeah, sure". But he also didn't want to speak about the airport DLC (I don't know the name), saying that it wasn't announced so he couldn't say anything.

He looked like he had no idea what he was talking about tbh.

I've still not decided if the explanation of the charts in the OP of the sales thread should be regular or made by the Kid Icarus: Uprising cast. XD

EA other games are on the eShop, so their is a decent chance.
Click to expand...

I think most like me are nervous because of what they did with Mass Effect 3 and DLC on Wii U
ME3 is not on eShop and does not get the final DLCs

so the only hope is Ward for Criterion seems to be a huge Wii U fan as in that demo video above when he talked about if this was Wii U you could do this and that while someone was playing the DLC so it would be strange for it not to come

there is supposed to be a demo out for NFSMW on the eshop as well. Was hoping it would be this week or next. Regardless I am ready would rather grab it from eshop than boxed retail.

I am looking for some good 3DS games either downloadable or not. I loved Mario 3Dland but I hate Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Any good advise out there? Also, I am not buying Ocarina....I have beat it like 3 times.

I want to download Wii U games from the eShop, but for some reason the games are €69.99 here, which is 90 dollars.
