    Simple 2000: The Japanese Software Chart

    Please, stop e-mailing us about the Japanese sales chart position of DS Nishimura Kyotaro Suspense Shin Tantei Series: Kyoto Atami Zekkai no Kotou - Satsui no Wana. We're well aware that you're all fans of Tecmo's Nishimura Kyotaro Suspense Shin Tantei Series, but numbers don't come in until late Wednesday night from Media Create, so we simply can't answer your questions until then. Yes, it placed well in this week's sales charts, beating out last week's retail champ Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! Meteor by a wide margin. Exciting, isn't it? Yes, it is.
