Nintendo Switch

The weekly Japanese chart results are out to remind us that it's the middle of the week, and it's been a quiet period in the country. That said, the lack of change hasn't been too negative for Nintendo.

Starting with software, no new releases have performed particularly well, leaving Switch and 3DS titles holding near the top. Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) is still doing well, followed by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild behind. All told the results are a continuation of recent weeks; the top 20 is below with lifetime sales in brackets.

That's it for another week in the Media Create charts; from Nintendo's perspective the continuation of 'normal service' is currently a good thing.
