(39) 40 THE HOBBIT SIERRA

Mario Kart is the only GameCube game in the Top 40...whereas only Finding Nemo and The Sims feature on the GBA-front. Things aren't looking good Nintendo-wise right now...But thankfully the XBOX only really has Project Gotham Racing 2, and that's falling very fast!

(N) 20 1080: AVALANCHE NINTENDO

Well well well, would you look at this? Let's ignore Mario Kart and Rebel Strike in the top slots for now and focus on these strange things - Mario Sunshine has suddenly shot up to No.3, even cracking the Top 40 Budget Chart! Nintendo's charity F-Zero GameCube has drummed up interest in the game, as it rises seven to No.8, Metroid Prime PC is up to No.9, Sonic Adventure 2 PC up four to No.10 and, what the hell, 1080: Avalanche is back in at No.20! Could that be linked with the rise of F-Zero GX? 'Hip' gamers looking for something cool on the 'Cube??

Finding Nemo flops above The Sims to No.1, Mario & Luigi drops one to No.9, Scooby returns at No.10 and...wow...Advance Wars 2 is zooming back up, five to No.12! Beyblade, after the dire PSone version put people off, finally cracks the GBA chart at No.16. But FFTactics drops four to No.19...Not good!
