Rooms: The Main Building has topped the ELSPA GfK Chart-Track DS Top 40 for the second consecutive week, ahead of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. The DS puzzler has proved to be a surprise hit for Nintendo, also reaching No.4 in the All Formats charts – up from 12th place last week.
This gives the publisher eight games in the Top Ten along with GSP/Avanquest’s Jewel Quest Mysteries (5th) and Ubisoft’s Peppa Pig (8th).
Rooms is also one of the most successful new portable IP from Nintendo since Professor Layton.
The game – released on June 4th – challenges players to move objects around in each room before they can progress. The casual puzzler, developed by Hudson Entertainment, was also released on Wii in the US. A European release has not yet been confirmed.
Meanwhile, Red Dead Redemption retained its Number One position in the All Formats Top 40, despite the release of long-awaited Wii sequel Super Mario Galaxy 2 last Friday.
Here’s the ELSPA GfK Chart-Track DS Top Ten (for the week ending June 11th):
1. Rooms: The Main Building (Nintendo)
2. New Super Mario Bros (Nintendo)
3. Pokémon SoulSilver (Nintendo)
