Serving up eShop eCharts

It's Monday morning again and that only means one thing in these parts: eShop charts.

Accidental poetry aside, here's the list of everything that's selling well in the world of 3DS digital downloads, as collated and published by Nintendo itself.

[1] denotes last week's position. [N] indicates game is a new entry. [-] indicates a non-mover.

Zen Pinball 3D sets this week's high score, while most Virtual Console games slip a place or hold their ground. Pop Island: Paperfield continues its rise up the charts, but Pyramids drops out of the top 10, having gone from 5 to 11 in two weeks.

After landing at number 9 on last week's chart — before the game was even released — Zen Pinball 3D pings right to the top of the popular 3DS downloads. With Pushmo on the way this week we'll finally have a complete top 10.

All-Time Best Sellers – 3DS Download Software

Again a static top half of the chart, but in under five days Zen Pinball has outsold Pyramids and Urban Champion. Despite being one of the best 3D Classics, TwinBee is the worst-selling piece of 3DS download software. For shame.
