The latest sales data for Japan is in, and this week saw the release of Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions for the 3DS, which debuted at number one.
The Switch had plenty of software in the top ten, with Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe taking out second and third places, respectively. Pokken Tournament DX and Fire Emblem Warriors were at sixth and ninth positions.
In hardware, no real changes to last week, though there was a slight surge in 3DS sales, presumably coinciding with Mario & Luigi. The Nintendo Switch dipped back down to its usual range after last week’s surge, but still sits comfortably in the number one spot with another 38,204 sales.
Check out the full list below and let us know your thoughts on the way things were in Japan last week.
