This week’s data for the UK’s boxed charts is finally with us and we are seeing a slightly quieter week from Nintendo this time around.<\/p>\n

As we have come to expect, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> was once again the highest-selling game on the Switch. This week the title only made it to fourth place however, after a strong start from Hogwarts Legacy<\/a> and the continued success of both God of War Ragnarok<\/a> and FIFA 23<\/a> meant that even the likes of Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet<\/a> didn’t make it to the top ten (Violet lands in 13th place, while Scarlet sits at 19).<\/p>\n

Of course, it’s not all doom and gloom from Nintendo. Chart-favourites Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a>, Nintendo Switch Sports<\/a> and Minecraft<\/a> continue to sell well, while the week also sees the surprise return of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe<\/a> to the top ten.<\/p>\n

This is likely due to the game’s physical edition recently dropping in price at many retailers. We have seen the same trend for a few other Mario titles this week, contributing to booming numbers for Mario Strikers: Battle League<\/a>, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury<\/a> and Mario Tennis Aces<\/a>, all of which have soared up the charts to land in 12th, 15th and 17th places respectively.<\/p>\n
