UK Charts: Four Switch Exclusive Games Make The Top Ten

how has mk8 not got an dlc yet, crazy

@jockmahon It already got DLC during the Wii U era.

For all we know, they're probably focusing their efforts on the next new Mario Kart.

Great showing for Nintendo games in general. 7 of the first 18 are Nintendo games. Here in the UK the Switch is really doing well, long may it continue!!
With Zelda/Animal Crossing and Pokemon all due before years end having 6/7 games in the top 20 could become the norm for a while. All are evergreen games....

@hoopderscotch or ever get to number one for that matter

@jockmahon All the dlc bundles came launched with the game

Worth noting that Yoshi was still the best overall selling unit this week.

@John_Deacon probably
I won’t be surprised if it will hit even 2 million after a while
It is a well received game of a big name

Yoshi Crafted World sales:
> Week 1: ~14,500
> Week 2: ~5,500
Total: ~20,000

Not too bad for Yoshi's 2nd week.

I know this is about Yoshi (and I am liking the game) but I continue to be amazed at the selling power of Mario and Zelda on the top 20 list. They are masterpieces and deserve those sales.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes sold ~1,500 copies at launch.

Anime isn't that big in the UK (last year's highly acclaimed Dragon Ball Fighterz sold ~15,000 copies at launch - about as much as what Yoshi's Crafted World sold), and this is a card game rather than a fighter, so it's a decent debut.

@dugan Amazing continuous sales. Mario Odyssey for me has been my favourite game so far on the Switch with Zelda BOTW a close second.

@TJWorks Yes, there will be no new Mario Kart on the Switch with this version selling so well. They also won't want to split the userbase. The next version is likely well underway to be an early release next gen....

I'm calling for Labo VR to be no1 next week!!!!

I'm happy for Nintendo do so well in the UK at long last. It's about damn time. But I'm also happy to see Spyro still hanging about. Maybe just needs a switch port to give it a boost again...

what’s impressive to me is how many of the top 20 games are on Switch.

@jockmahon,

Because it's had a tonne of DLC allready,they need to be putting their time and effort into Mario Kart 9.

I do wonder how Labo VR will do.

Preorders for Labo VR absolutely skyrocketed when the Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild compatibility was announced, but prior to that, preorders were virtually nonexistent, so a massive increase from nothing could still be kinda small.

Labo VR should have no problem outselling Labo Robot and Vehicle Kits. Whether it will outdo the Variety Kit is the big question.

Speaking of yoshi just finished it and I won't ruin anything apart from that final boss is epic!.

@KingdomHeartsFan The Switch is simply better to play them on

Not to mention Smash on Wii U is...like...Diet Ultimate.

@TJWorks @johnvboy it wouldn't make any sense on Switch.

It will be on the next system guaranteed.

I was playing Double Dash this weekend. Going back to DD after 8 doesn't really feel any different. It just has less stuff. If a MK9 came to Switch, how would they differentiate it?

@johnvboy why not do a classic pack 5 courses from previous games, it would make a tone of money , its a big company get more devs if needed

4 Switch games in the top 10 in the UK is great. Don't forget BOTW, Odyssey and Let's Go still in the top 20 as well.

@dew12333
If it did, that would certainly be an impressive achievement as I believe the last Labo kit (Vehicle) didn't actually get into the all formats top 40 (or even the Switch top 20). It will have its work cut out no doubt.

MK8 is like 2 years old on Switch- how is it still up there?!

@TJWorks @johnvboy I'm assuming Mario Kart Tour is taking development priority right now over Mario Kart 9 or even more DLC for 8 Deluxe, which is probably why we haven't got any updates since the BOTW content and the Labo Vehicle Kit support.

So good to see. I remember even the biggest Wii U games would have a good first week, a decent debut, but then you literally wouldn’t see them grace the chart for more than a week or two. Whereas Breath of the Wild, a Switch launch title, is still selling copies week in week out! I adored my Wii U but I’m glad those dark days are over. Good job Nintendo.

Really, everyone that makes games at Nintendo needs like a 400% bonus. They basically carrying the Switch single handedly.

Rehashed Assassin creed 3 vanished... shocking! 🙄

Good stuff, good stuff.

But can it run Crysis?
