Wii Fit continues to stand at the top rung of the Australian game charts.

11 Comments

Wii Fit has spent its second consecutive week at the top of the overall game charts down under, according to data trackers GfK Australia.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games takes out the silver-medal position for the week of August 11 to August 17. The popular Wii Play bundle, which comes with a bonus Wii Remote, came in at third spot, and Mario Kart Wii retained its fourth place from the previous week. Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga for the Nintendo Wii, one of the last games developed by Traveller's Tales before it was bought out, has returned to the charts smack-bang in the middle at number five. Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games on the Nintendo DS both dropped down one, with SSBB taking out the sixth spot, and Mario and Sonic below at number seven. Seasoned chart veteran Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain finished off the week at number eight. Sega's Olympic tie-in game, Beijing 2008 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games, has taken out the last two spots in the charts, with the PlayStation 3 version in ninth and the Xbox 360 version in 10th place.

Despite not being a massive sport in Australia, Madden NFL 09 has managed to find its way into our charts, appearing in the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PSP platform-specific charts.
