45 Comments

Diddy Kong Racing has made a triumphant return down under, with the Nintendo DS version of the N64 classic topping the overall Australian game sales charts for the week of April 16 to April 22.

The movie-based game TMNT is still enjoying a boost to its sales with the local release of the film--the PlayStation 2 version taking out the number two spot in the overall charts, according to data trackers GfK Australia. Last week's overall number one, Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars for the PC, slipped to number three spot, pushing the PS3's Resistance: Fall of Man back to number four.

In other chart news, the Guitar Hero II bundle remains at number one in the Xbox 360 list, with Gears of War climbing back to the number two spot. On the Wii front, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess remains firmly placed at number one.
