The UK chart results are in and, while Nintendo is hardly storming away at the top, it has some cause to be pleased. Some key titles are still shifting units, while a third-party effort's also had a reasonable start.
Yoshi's Woolly World made its début in 4th place, and in its second week saw a 60% drop in sales to fall down to sixth in the all-format charts. Splatoon managed to climb a few places, meanwhile, up to 15th in the all-format results.
There are improved positions further down the top 40, too - Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS climbed to 30th place, while Mario Kart 8 now resides in 33rd. Presumably as a result of discounts, meanwhile, Pokémon White Version 2 on DS returns to the top 40 in 37th place.
Notably, these results also include sales for the mysteriously delayed Wii U version of LEGO Jurassic World, and the Nintendo system's version was the second best selling iteration behind the Xbox 360 entry - on Wii U it claimed 6th in the single format charts, one position ahead of Yoshi's Woolly World.
Some decent results in the UK as the summer weeks progress.

Well they are awesome games...
Awsome, i love playing yoshis woolly world, doing 100% now. have not even tried out splatoon splat fest yet or the new maps :/ because i been busy
@97alexk Wow is it that addicting? Guess I'm going to get Yoshi one of these days
Splatoon has long legs or tentacles. Good for them squids.
@rjejr
Happy birthday #6!
@sinalefa Wait, Happy Birthday to this @rjejr old man? Well then it's time to celabrate!
@Spoony_Tech
Only thing I know is that is in July, so I have been posting every day to see if I don't miss it. He tells me he celebrates the whole month anyway but won't reveal the exact day.
Knowing my luck, it must be around the 28th of July or so
@sinalefa My son's is the 27th so maybe, just maybe greatness happened that day.
Either way this

Is for @rjejr
@Spoony_Tech @sinalefa - Thanks be to ya both laddies.
I really need to see that Muppet movie, the first was so good but I never got around to the rest. Muppets inspired me to buy a van and drive from NYC to California in 1988. Maybe if I watch Muppets in Space I'll sign up for that 1 way trip to Mars.

@rjejr That movie had so many good songs and I'm not usually a fan of singing in movies. Also, you're not missing much as the rest of the Muppet movies aren't even close to the original. The first movie and the show was by far the best.
@Spoony_Tech - I'm not holding out much hope for the new series, but I'll have to watch it. It can't be bad, and I need to watch something w/ the kids. I just can't watch Teen Titans Go.

@rjejr Wow!! I didn't know there was a new show. Thanks for that link as I'll have to check it out. So many old show coming back some for good and others not so much so here's hoping for the best for the muppets!
Ok, I'm done hijacking the comment section here. Go team dogs......I mean Splatoon!
@Spoony_Tech - Thread wasn't worth hijacking anyway, didn't have NX in the title. .
Glad to see both titles doing well, especially in the UK since the install base isn't great.
Quite pleasing looking at the individual top 20 and seeing a couple of Wii U game's mixing it up!
@Spoony_Tech @rjejr
I mention rjejr and the thread gets derailed. Going back to the topic I never expected Yoshi to do so well in UK.
Yoshi could be even better if, you know, if the U.S. didn't have to wait until October to get it! I might be too busy with Rockband 4 come October to play Yoshi, so it really needed to come sooner than that!
@sinalefa - Hey don't look at me, it was Spoony_Tech Gotta give it up for the Muppets at E3, so we were almost on topic. Sort of.
That's strange, I thought Lego Jurassic World was supposed to sell far better on other systems than the Wii U.
Yoshi's Woolly World deserves it IMO. I gave it a personal score of a solid 7 when I started playing; 2 days later and on World 5 now and I'd easily give it an 8-8.5 because it is just so darn addictive. It's Splatoon but in platformer form lol
@The_Conspiracy Third party games don't sell on Nintendo consoles, especially delayed ones. It's a counting error.
@The_Conspiracy Don't forget that only Mario and Zelda remakes and identical sequels sell on Nintendo consoles, too, so I'm pretty sure this entire article is just a mistake altogether.
Seriously, though, a good drought of games probably helps these Wii U games make bigger numbers than they would if there were more choices.
@ Thomas Whitehead , will you guys do a review of Jurassic World?
