Labo

Figures are in for the Japanese gaming charts, covering the 10th - 16th of September, and Nintendo's major new release of the week - the Nintendo Labo Vehicle Kit - managed to snag a debut spot at number five. Sales figures show that it failed to reach the lofty heights of the previous Labo designs, however.

Unsurprisingly, Spider-Man is top of the list again this time around, shifting another 80,000 copies to keep it well out of the reach of its competitors. Nintendo titles take up 13 of the top 20 chart positions, with the only new entries being the aforementioned Vehicle Kit and Undertale - which managed to sell just under 6,000 copies at retail.
