It even beat aside the colossal might of Nintendo’s Super Mario Galaxy to claim the top spot, knocking the highly-rated platformer down to second place. The porky plumber pops up in fourth place, as well, as Mario Party 8 climbs four places to reach fourth spot.

Elsewhere in the Wii listings, Capcom’s Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles debuts in fifth, whilst Ubisoft duo Red Steel and GT Pro Series both make a sudden reappearance in the charts following a High Street promotion, claiming sixth and seventh respectively.
