Good to see, a healthy chart I think?
3 Switch exclusives in the top 10 is no small feat.
@sanderev Especially in the UK which has not been Nintendo's best territory historically.
The Switch is Nintendo's best handheld ever and their best home console since the Gamecube. Incredible turnaround.
I want to know on which place Paper Mario: Origami King is going to be.
@TheNewButler
Absolutely! The Gamecube is just the last Nintendo home console I loved, and the Wii was too gimmicky for me. The Switch has really brought a lot of people back. They just need to improve the online service now.
Both the top two places in the UK, it's great to see this!!
@MichaelHarvey Agreed! The 3DS is still tied with the Switch for me (thanks to the Story of Seasons games, the Zelda OoT and MM remakes, Fantasy Life and the Layton series), but I have no doubt the Switch will be my #1 favourite console by the time it reaches the end of its life cycle. Especially if one or more of the aforementioned games end up getting ported over eventually...
When was the last time Nintendo exclusives held both top two positions in the UK chart? Especially two non-Pokémon games?
@sanderev
There was 5 the other week.
Who else remembers what things were like during the 3DS/Wii U era? Never thought I'd see this.
One has to wonder if Xenoblade Chronicles will be able to top Animal Crossing when it launches.
@sanderev
4 Switch exclusives.
Minecraft at #8 is the Switch version only.
Wow. Do my eyes deceive me? Fallen Order and Luigi's Mansion 3 on their way out? What witchcraft is this...
Saints Row The Third is a surprise return. Was there a re-release or something? And interesting to see Maneater there.
And of course, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, FIFA, CoD and GTA are at the top. What a surprise.
