The June 2007 issue of Nintendo Power decides to tackle just how all those overpriced Virtual Console downloads stack up against each other in sales. After much debate, NP decided to slice up the pie per the game's system origin. So, below are the best sellers for SNES VC games in the North American region during February:

1. Super Mario World
2. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
3. Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
4. Super Castlevania IV
5. Donkey Kong Country

For comparison, here are the titles that released up to 02/07 that aren't on this list:

F-Zero
SimCity
R-Type III: The Third Lightning    
Contra III: The Alien Wars

I wish they gave some solid numbers for once. I mean, they gotta have'em, but why they don't ever provide numbers to back up their rankings (for any system) boggles my mind. To clarify, these aren't total sales since release, rather how they sold for that individual month. Still, I guess the prospect of seeing a Bowser Attack isn't enough to crack SimCity into the top 5.

Also, here are the top 10 games for Wii and DS titles through February (according to Nintendo Power):


Wii
1. WiiPlay
2. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
3. WarioWare: Smooth Moves
4. Sonic and the Secret Rings
5. Rayman: Raving Rabbids
6. Madden NFL 2007
7. Red Steel
8. Call of Duty 3
9. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
10. Excite Truck

NDS
1. Diddy Kong Racing DS
2. New Super Mario Bros.
3. Mario Kart DS
4. Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!
5. Kirby: Squeak Squad
6. Nintendogs: Dalmatian and Friends
7. Yoshi's Island DS
8. Animal Crossing: Wild World
9. Big Brain Academy
10. Nintendogs: Dachshund and Friends

It's good to see New Super Mario Bros. is still in the top 3!

<Kojinka> When I saw this thread back on top, I was afraid this was gonna be another pointless bump by a new member, but when I saw Super-Jesse's username, my fears were laid to rest.
