Nintendo doesn't release sales numbers for VC or WiiWare titles (although stat lovers might be able to figure out some estimates).

WiiWare lifts off in Europe and Australia
Right on time, Nintendo has pulled the appropriate levers, flicked the necessary switches, and sent a whole world of WiiWare goodness down the pipes and into Europe and Australia. Here's what greeted this blogger on his local servers just now: Dr. Mario & Germ Buster -- 1,000 Wii Points ...
Wii Fanboy Review: LostWinds
Without a doubt, LostWinds is like finding a diamond-encrusted Hummer in your box of corn flakes.

Briefly previewed at GDC, LostWinds is a stylish, creative take on platforming. The Nunchuk analog stick moves your small character over obstacles from a side-view.
