We have a bumper edition of the Japanese charts to share with you this week, as Media Create sales for the last week of 2018 and first week of 2019 are now in.
<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/strong><\/a> is consistently knocking it out of the park, remaining on top spot every week in the region ever since it released just over a month ago. Go Vacation<\/strong><\/a>, Diablo III: Eternal Collection<\/strong><\/a>, and Mario & Luigi: Bowser\u2019s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.\u2019s Journey<\/strong><\/a> also launched in Japan over the last couple of weeks with varying levels of success – we’ve already discussed<\/a> Mario & Luigi’s disappointing start. Twice, in fact<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
