Nintendo Conquers Japan with DS Fashion Game

Last week's Media Create Top 50 showed how Nintendo's latest craze to sweep Japan is none other than a fashion title called 'Girls Mode'. In the same week Wii Music showed lower numbers than expected, Castlevania stormed in at No.8 and beat the previous two DS entries' first week performances and poor Tenchu 4 struggled, entering at No.12 and starting much slower than the previous games in the stealth franchise. Elsewhere, Culdcept, Inazuma Eleven, Dragon Ball DS and Drum Master 2 all continue to linger around the Top 30, the Boss-rush shooter 'Ketsui Death Label' has a positive start at No.37 (compared to most shooters that fail to chart normally) and Dragon Quest V is still clinging on at No.45. Additionally, just off the bottom of the chart are a few Square Enix budget re-releases for DS.
