"* This week sees the UK launch of Nintendo's highly anticipated Gameboy Advance. The new hand-held console becomes the biggest-selling hardware launch in UK history.
* The All Formats Leisure Software Top 40 sees Nintendo debuting at No1 thanks to Gameboy Advance 'Super Mario Advance'. THQ debut at No2 with PS2 'Red Faction and Activision re-enter at No3 thanks to the new GBA version of 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2'. Also debuting within the Top 10 this week is Code Masters' PC 'Operation Flashpoint' at No4, Nintendo's GBA 'F-Zero' at No5, Sega's Dreamcast 'Sonic Adventure 2' at No8 and Squaresoft's PS2 'The Bouncer', in at No9."
From Chart Track (just so you know not to pick this for GAD ;)
So Sonic made it there, but Mario selling about 20,000 copies has definitely made it the highest seller.
Good day to you all.

argh! Chart bloomin track.
hm.
Charttrack are great if you fancy charts made from sales in shops that aren't even specialising in games (i.e. WHSMITHS and Woolworths)
Most independant retailers have given up on these charts because the system is so annoying and you have to link it up to your till system. That leaves shops that only sell certain formats and this mucks the chart up no end, especially since about 80% of the WH Smiths branches decided to stock only PS2 and GB games about a year ago.
It's as bad as the Gallop singles charts, full of wrongety wrongness.

Their are very strong rumours that there will be a Game Boy Advance version of Super Mario World.
I havent actually played Mario Advance yet - even though Ive had it for four days!!
Im waiting for Mario World to hit the GBA if it ever does - that would be the best thing ever!!
