<p>The newest Wii-make, part of Nintendo&#8217;s &#8220;Wii de Asobu&#8221; series is <em>Mario Power Tennis</em>. It also happens to be Japan&#8217;s favourite game, at least for this week-long span, landing the number one spot.</p>

<span id="more-323923"></span>
<p>Now that Japanese game releases are off vacation, things are starting to get interesting. Perhaps most notable are the number of PlayStation 3 games that charted this week. With the release of <em>Fallout 3</em>, <em>Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm</em> and <em>GRID</em> in Japan, a total of seven PS3 games charted in the top thirty, according to Media Create.</p>
<p>The latest new releases kick former number one, <em>Dissidia: Final Fantasy</em>, from its top spot. It&#8217;s well on its way to a million copies sold, something it should probably accomplish by the end of February.</p>
<p>The top thirty games in Japan, from January 12th to the 18th are&#8230;</p>
<p>01. Wii de Asobu: Mario Power Tennis (Wii) &#8211; 57,000 / NEW<br /> 02. Megami Ibunroku: Devil Survivor (DS) &#8211; 55,000 / NEW<br /> 03.

<p>Square Enix&#8217;s <em>Dissidia: Final Fantasy</em> returned to the top of the charts in Japan, after a week off thanks to previous champ <em>White Knight Chronicles</em>. How did the Level 5 RPG fare in week two?</p>
<p><!-- Gawker Tags/Categories: simple 2000: the japanese software chart, media create, only in japan, sales, software --><br />
<span id="more-322159"></span>
<p>While the PlayStation 3 game slipped, it held strong in the top ten, slipping to sixth. We call that &#8220;legs.&#8221; Not the sturdiest of legs, mind you, considering pretty much nothing else came out against this week&#8217;s chart-toppers, but legs nonetheless.</p>
<p>Also leggy is <em>Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III</em>, which got a sales shot in the arm for an 11th place finish. The rest of the charts is mostly the Wii and Nintendo DS stuff we&#8217;ve been charting for <em>months</em>. Read on for the top thirty, according to Media Create.</p>
<p>01. Dissidia: Final Fantasy (PSP) &#8211; 104,000 / 770,000<br /> 02. Rhythm Tengoku Gold (DS) &#8211; 89,000 / 1,535,000<br /> 03. Kirby Super Star Ultra (DS) &#8211; 77,000 / 998,000<br /> 04. Wii Fit (Wii) &#8211; 74,000 / 3,125,000<br /> 05. Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii) &#8211; 73,000 / 949,000<br /> 06. White Knight Chronicles (PS3) &#8211; 71,000 / 278,000<br /> 07. Wagamama Fashion Girls Mode (DS) &#8211; 68,000 / 615,000<br /> 08. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) &#8211; 67,000 / 2,133,000<br /> 09. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP) &#8211; 62,000 / 271,000<br /> 10. Momotarou Dentetsu: 20-Shuunen (DS) &#8211; 57,000 / 204,000<br /> 11. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III (PS3)<br /> 12. Pokemon Platinum (DS)<br /> 13. Karaoke Joysound Wii (Wii)<br /> 14. Pikmin (Play on Wii) (Wii)<br /> 15. Phantasy Star Zero (DS)<br /> 16. Wii Sports (Wii)<br /> 17. Professor Layton and the Final Time Journey (DS)<br /> 18. Power Pro Kun Pocket 11 (DS)<br /> 19. Gundam Musou 2 (PS2)<br /> 20. Gundam Musou 2 (PS3)<br /> 21. Meccha! Taiko Drum Master DS: 7-tsu no Shima no Daibouken (DS)<br /> 22. Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS)<br /> 23. World Soccer Winning Eleven 2009 (PS3)<br /> 24. Musou Orochi Sairin (PSP)<br /> 25. Taiko no Tatsujin Wii (Wii)<br /> 26. Wii Play (Wii)<br /> 27. Mario Kart DS (DS)<br /> 28. Tales of Hearts &#8211; Anime Movie Edition (DS)<br /> 29. Wii Music (Wii)<br /> 30. Penguin no Mondai (DS)</p>

<p>Was there any doubt that Square Enix&#8217;s latest <em>Final Fantasy</em> spin-off cash-in would do gangbuster business in Japan? If so, <em>Dissidia Final Fantasy</em>&#8217;s debut on the Media Create sales charts should erase those doubts.</p>
<p><!-- Gawker Tags/Categories: simple 2000: the japanese software chart, media create, only in japan, sales, software --><br />
<span id="more-320559"></span>
<p>The fan service filled fighter for the PlayStation Portable moved almost a half-million units in its first week on the charts, soundly beating <em>Gundam Musou 2</em> for the PlayStation 3 by a ratio of more than two to one. And at 6,090 yen, <em>Dissidia</em>&#8217;s not on the cheaper end of PSP games. Yes, Square Enix made itself some money.</p>
<p>Some good news for Sony was that <em>Gundam Musou 2</em> landed at number two on the PS3, with the Xbox 360 version failing to make a top thirty appearance. <em>Fable II</em> did, however, but at the 23rd spot.</p>
<p>01. Dissidia: Final Fantasy (PSP) &#8211; 489,000 / NEW<br /> 02. Gundam Musou 2 (PS3) &#8211; 176,000 / NEW<br /> 03. Kirby Super Star Ultra (DS) &#8211; 150,000 / 779,000<br /> 04.

<p>This week&#8217;s Media Create sales chart has a Nintendo flavored frosting, with the first ten games on the list for either the Wii or Nintendo DS. And only two of them are new games.</p>
<p><!-- Gawker Tags/Categories: simple 2000: the japanese software chart, media create, only in japan, sales, software, wii --><br />

<p>Taking the top spot is <em>Taiko no Tatsujin Wii</em> the follow up to <em>Meccha! Taiko Drum Master DS: 7-tsu no Shima no Daibouken</em> for the Nintendo DS &mdash; which, almost coincidentally, returns to the charts at #30. Konmi&#8217;s <em>Penguin no Mondai</em> represents the only other debut to chart in the top ten.</p>
<p><em>Tatsunoko vs. Capcom</em> didn&#8217;t perform as well, landing at #16, falling behind the Gamecube-to-Wii remake Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. That&#8217;s gotta sting.</p>
<p>01. Taiko no Tatsujin Wii (Wii) &#8211; 106,000 / NEW<br /> 02. Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii) &#8211; 98,000 / 587,000<br /> 03.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/11/animal_xing_cf.jpg" class="left"/>If the debut of <em>Animal Crossing: Let&#8217;s Go To The City</em> (nee <em>City Folk</em>) is any indication, Nintendo has another hit on its hands. <em>City Folk</em> landed at #1, with <em>Wild World</em> for the DS still in the top 30.</p>
<p><em>City Folk</em> for the Wii was just one of five new debuts claiming half of the top ten, beating out Square Enix&#8217;s <em>Chrono Trigger DS</em> and <em>The Last Remnant</em>. Another strong Xbox 360 Japanese-style role-playing game that should help Microsoft&#8217;s fortunes overseas. Former <a href="http://www.kotaku.com.au/games/2008/11/kirby_continues_to_suck_yen_in_japan_ultra_super_deluxe_style-2.html">chart-topper</a> Kirby will likely move over 500,000 copies of <em>Hoshi no Kirby: Ultra Super Deluxe</em> by the end of the year.</p>
<p>A handful of PlayStation 3 titles show stronger sales legs than their counterparts, potentially a good sign for Sony in Japan. Media Create sales for November 17 to 24 are after the jump.</p>

It kicks <a href="http://www.kotaku.com.au/games/2008/11/grand_theft_auto_iv_1_with_a_bullet_in_japan-2.html">last week&#8217;s champ</a> <em>Grand Theft Auto IV</em> from the top of the charts. <em>Hoshi no Kirby: Ultra Super Deluxe</em> joins five other Nintendo DS games in the top ten, the only new debut to chart above the jump.</p>
<p><!-- Gawker Tags/Categories: simple 2000: the japanese software chart, media create, only in japan, sales, software --><br />
<span id="more-315035"></span>
<p>Recently launched PlayStation 3 titles <em>GTA IV</em>, <em>Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III</em> and <em>LittleBigPlanet</em> do good enough business to stay in the top ten, a feat we don&#8217;t expect to see repeated next week. New releases like <em>Samurai Dou 3</em>, <em>Family Ski: World Ski &#038; Snowboard</em> and <em>Fushigi no Dungeon: Fuurai no Shiren DS 2 &#8211; Sabaku no Majou</em> will probably take up valuable chart real estate.</p>
