The Nintendo DS tops software charts this week with the arrival of PlatinumGames' second title published by Sega, Infinite Space. The spacey role-playing game knocks Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days out of its first place spot.
Infinite Space leads a top ten Media Create game sales chart that's Nintendo DS top heavy, as Level 5's Sloane to MacHale: Nazo no Monogatari and Capcom's Gyakuten Kenji hold steady. The only other new top ten debut is Nintendo's Wii remake of Chibi Robo, re-released under the Wii de Asobu label.
Other than those two new releases, there's not much of interest here to Western gamers. One more Neon Genesis Evangelion game grunts its way into the top thirty, as does From Software's Onore no Shinzuru Michi wo Yuke.
