The latest boxed charts from Japan are now in courtesy of Famitsu, and gosh, this week was absolutely full of new releases.
For us, perhaps the most notable launch was Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar for the Switch and Switch 2. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater might have claimed the top spot, but combined sales for Grand Bazaar put it just above Konami’s flagship remake at 64,734. The same can be said for Super Robot Wars Y too, which managed a total of 91,500 across Switch and PS5.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World also made its debut, coming in at number 7 with a total of 12,174 sales.
