Japanese Charts: Smash Ultimate Fends Off The Competition For Another Week At The Top

Famitsu's Japanese chart figures are now in for 27th May - 2nd June, revealing that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate remains at number one.

It was a pretty quiet week in the Japanese retail space this week, with no new games making a dent on the top ten. Instead, nine of the top ten spots have been taken by some of the country's most popular Switch games, with a singular PS4 title also making the cut.

Here are the top 10 (first numbers are this week's sales, followed by total sales):
