The Japanese charts are in, with The Snack World Trejarers Gold Nintendo Switch port filling its belly with sales (and the top spot, just for good measure). It did so well it's knocked Kirby Star Allies off the number one position, although Splatoon 2 holds fast at three for another week.

Elsewhere, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe drops two places to number six, while The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey also drop two places each (although both are still very much in the top ten). Detective Pikachu has finally dropped out of the top 10, falling from ninth to 14th, while Pokémon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon also drops a place.
