Famitsu has provided the latest look at the Japanese boxed charts, and all things considered, it’s a pretty familiar scene.
Mario Kart World is once again at the top of the pile with a further 114,106 units sold, putting the total at almost 1.3 million. Meanwhile, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is climbing the top ten to land at number four, selling 7,441 copies in the week.
It’s a good week for Tamagotchi Plaza, too. Despite our rather negative review of the game, Japan’s love for Tamagotchi puts both the Switch and Switch 2 versions in the top ten.
