The latest Japanese charts are now in from Famitsu<\/a> and it is once again all about Kirby (thanks, Gematsu<\/a>). For the second week in a row Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe<\/a> has triumphed over the competition, selling 62,581 copies this time around \u2014 not quite the 189,931 that we saw last week, but respectable nonetheless.<\/p>\n

It has been another strong showing from Nintendo this week too, with the Switch being represented by seven of the top ten chart entries. Alongside the usual suspects of Splatoon 3<\/a> and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a>, Octopath Traveler II<\/a> continued to sell well (shifting 14,085 and landing in seventh place this time), and Metroid Prime Remastered<\/a> just about managed to sneak into the standings in its market debut, selling 7,960 copies.<\/p>\n

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty<\/a>‘s debut on PlayStation consoles managed to fill in the gaps this week, with the PS5 version landing in second and the PS4 entering the charts in fourth.<\/p>\n

Here’s your look at this week’s Japanese software top ten:<\/p>\n
