Nintendo Scores Big in January

Capcom's Resident Evil 4 for the Nintendo Gamecube knocked the reigning king of video game sales charts, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, out of the number one position in January. What's more, RE4 is one of the best-reviewed games in years, earning 30 "perfect" ratings from various magazines and online reviewers. According to the NPD Group's January sales tracking report, Nintendo also had a good showing with The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap for the GBA (number 3), Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories for the GBA (number 9), and Super Mario 64 DS for the Nintendo DS (number 10). That's four games for three systems. Not too shabby, Nintendo.
