Detective Pikachu Is Back On The Case With A Much Stronger Week Two In The UK Charts

Detective Pikachu deserves better

Kirby is underrated IMO. That game brings me so much joy <3 So much charm and attention to detail (animations, music, background etc)

I'll have to ask at the post office how far mailing that picture frame from Denmark til Ireland will set me back.

How many times do I have to say it?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the greatest game ever. Simple as.

@AyeHaley I absolutely agree. What it lacks in difficulty it more than makes up for in pure charm.

Detective Pikachu wasn't shipped to most people on its launch week. Could be why the debut wasn't very strong.

@gcunit Ah, I see you're a man of great culture as well

@SmaggTheSmug
I don't like Football / Soccer at all to be honest. Zero interest.
I prefer Baseball for Non Fighting sports.
Baseball cap looks so Sexy and Manly in my opinion.
Added with White Basketball shoes, i will look fabulous.

I've been away from home for almost a week, and decided to take my Switch instead of my 3DS. It's probably unfashionable to say it, but now I'm really missing my aged 3D friend! I've completed Celeste (except for the Golden strawberries), but there are a load of 3DS games I've love to be able to polish off whose pace, visuals and general structure is hard to currently find on the Switch. I'm mainly pining after Ace Attorney and Detective Pikachu.

I'm hoping the some of the distinctly portable titles (like AA and Layton) from start the DS eras start to migrate over before long. The only text based games I'm aware of coming to the Switch are raunchy high school visual novels, and that's not an itch I'm currently looking to scratch.

@Maxz There's Subsurface Circular and Joe Dever's Lone Wolf already released, but nothing seems to be on the horizon.
I'm kinda struggling with some combat encounters in the latter. Maybe I should have invested more in Strength...

@Anti-Matter If you wish people to respect your views, you should remain respectful to those of others. That's why people nag you. You aren't tolerant of others.

I think it’s a pretty good showing from Kirby all told. He was never gonna stick around the higher end of the chart like the mario Kart games. Kirby games are normally gone by now. Maybe people thought it would rule the chart as it was the first main original ‘big’ release for a while but it was unrealistic

Very solid week for Nintendo considering there was loads of discounts on many "Triple A" games and of course FC5 release.

@redd214 well they have removed his comment in this section. He does it every week though.

great to see some switch titles on the list. Seems a lot of these games are going to have some really long legs which is great but hopefully some on the newer games maintain spots on the list as well.

@Mr_Pepperami yeah I noticed that as well. You're right though it's every week and very annoying

There are Nintendo titles peppering the Top 40, from MK8 Deluxe climbing to number 4 in the Individual Format, Mario & Rabbids sitting at number 28 and Fifa 18 Nintendo Switch version making a welcome reappearance in the Top 30. Great to see.

@MartyFlanMJFan

Yep considering UK is very much Sony territory Nintendo and Switch is doing much better than a lot of people realise. Long may it continue!

Several evergreen titles, both Nintendo and others.

Is it me or do some of the comments in this section make no sense? Has the NL Clean-up fairy been around?

Apparently FC5 broke records. Another game I will need to put on the list I guess. Ubisoft is on fire on all the systems.

This just shows how mediocre the 2018 Switch schedule has been. Kirby will sell more once the price better reflects what you are getting (like Fifa on Switch)

@Agramonte FC5 is ok but does absolutely nothing new. Very formulaic. Doesn’t mean it’s bad it’s just more of the same

great game and plays even better on my new pikachu 2ds xl. Well maybee lol

To be fair to Kirby it is competing against a lot of 'budget' priced games given the various Easter sale discounts. It's still in the top 10 for revenue, as is Ni No Kuni 2 which isn't even in the top 20 for units. I suppose it depends on how you want to quantify what has done well or not, statistics and all that eh.

@Mr_Pepperami oh, good to know, ty.

I have a game every month till Ys8 on the Switch end of Jun - so Can easily wait for a FC steam sale at some point.

Mario Kart 8 DX legs are insane.

Every Switch game outside of Kirby got an Easter sales boost, though the rankings don't necessarily reflect that.

Incredible Far Cry 5 sales as well. It looks to be among Ubisoft's fastest selling games, behind The Division, the first Watch Dogs, and Assassin's Creed 3 (and maybe Assassin's Creed 4).

It's Spring and Crash is still in the charts and with Super Mario Odyessy around no less.

@AyeHaley The more I play Kirby Star Allies, the more I enjoy it!

I wonder how Crash will sell once it arrives on Switch.

Haven't played MK8D for ages!
