Nintendo has returned to the top of the All Formats charts after four years with Pokemon Ranger taking the coveted number one spot, GamesIndustry.biz reports.

Pokemon Ranger is the sixth title in the series to hit number one, and becomes the first Nintendo-developed title to climb to the top since Pokemon Ruby four years ago.

Last week's number one, TMNT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, has been pushed back to number two, just ahead of Wii Play which leaps up the charts from number 24 to number three.

This week's highest new entry is Harvest Moon DS at number 4. Ubisoft's budget release of Rayman 2: The Great Escape is at number five, while Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training climbs up the top ten to number six.

Electronic Arts' Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 is at number seven, with another Ubisoft PC title, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, at number eight.

Former number one Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars is at number nine this week with Codemasters' Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 at number ten.

Nintendo has a total of seven DS games in the top forty, including Hotel Dusk: Room 215 at number 22 and Cooking Mama which enters the charts at number 35.
