  • Earthworm Jim is the only new release to chart worldwide, though Castlevania III and Mega Man 3 showed up in the PAL and Japan charts, respectively.
  • Other than these, it's still the Super Mario show at the top of the charts, with not much changed elsewhere.
  • Secret of Mana has fallen off a bit in the Americas, bringing its worldwide ranking down as well.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

track but i dont think they add them, do they?

Because if you take a look at the sales in the data base, you'll see that every VC game has 0 sales. And that applies to WW games, b/e their sales are on 0

Do you think they should? They are still NES, SNES and etc games and you have to pay for them.

They are a re-release, so if ioi decides to put them into the official VGChartz numbers, they will be put under "Super Mario Bros." on Virtual console, with sales separated from "Super Mario Bros" on NES.

The reason they are not in the database, is that they are just estimates, and too rough at the moment. Mods have several times said that adding them had been considered, and that there is a change of it happening in the future.
