The Easter weekend is over, and that means the UK boxed charts are in. It’s been another quiet week for Nintendo, with two of the Big N’s major titles still making the top ten. And it’s another case of the usual suspects.<\/p>\n

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> and Super Mario Odyssey<\/a> charted in fourth and tenth respectively, with Mario Kart scooting up a place and Odyssey slipping down two. We’ve seen Super Mario Odyssey sales jump up thanks to The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/strong>, and we wonder if this streak will continue.<\/p>\n

The rest of the charts, however, are dominated by PS5 and sports titles. This week, FIFA 23<\/a> is top of the pile, with 46% of sales coming from the PS5 version, and 26% for the Switch version. Last week’s number one, Resident Evil 4<\/a>, is now in second, but still continues to sell well.<\/p>\n

The Last of Us Part II<\/a> has seen an huge jump in sales, coming from 30th last week to 5th this week \u2014 we wonder if lots of people finished Part I after HBO’s acclaimed The Last of Us<\/strong> show, and are now moving onto the sequel? The only new release in the top ten is EA Sports PGA Tour<\/a>, which launched on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on 7th April.<\/p>\n

Nintendo has plenty of games in the UK top 40, however, with Minecraft<\/a> just slipping outside the top ten, and Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet & Violet<\/a> still remaining (in 21st and 16th, respectively). Metroid Prime Remastered also remains in the top 40, though it’s slipped down to 31st.<\/p>\n

Here’s this week’s top ten in full:<\/p>\n
