UK chart data is now in for the week ending 6th June, revealing that Nintendo's latest release, 51 Worldwide Games (known as Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics in North America), has debuted in sixth position.
The game managed to squeeze just ahead of Nintendo's evergreen chart star Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, only finding itself behind other titles often found at the top of the UK table. Animal Crossing: New Horizons sits in third place, while Ring Fit Adventure made a sudden return to the charts to find itself right up in second spot.
After a successful week at number one last week, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition has fallen to 28th. The new Switch version of The Outer Worlds saw the game enter the chart in 30th place.
Here's a look at this week's top ten all formats chart:
| Last Week | This Week | Title |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 1 | FIFA 20 |
| - | 2 | Ring Fit Adventure |
| 2 | 3 | |
| 3 | 4 | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare |
| 4 | 5 | Grand Theft Auto V |
| - | 6 | 51 Worldwide Games |
| 12 | 7 | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe |
| 9 | 8 | The Last of Us: Remastered |
| 7 | 9 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order |
| 14 | 10 | Marvel's Spider-Man |

Wow... that's actually pretty good for such a simple but great gem.
6th for a nicely polished collection of minigames is really impressive especially as I’d imagine a lot of people would want this digitally. I certainly went for digital.
Where on earth are people buying Ringfit adventure from!? I've been going on the nintendo UK store everyday for weeks trying to get a copy and it has always been out of stock.
Pretty crazy to consistently see this much Nintendo in the UK top 10.
Another good week with 4 games in the top 10 with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe back where it belongs.
Ring Fit does appear to be a proper Wii Fit successor now.
51 Worldwide Games will go on to quietly sell millions.
Xenoblade was always going to take a big tumble.
@JoeM103 Add it to your wishlist in the UK Nintendo Store and they will email you shortly before they get restocked (when I got mine the email was about ten minutes before the website was updated).
I believe a sharp drop in sales is normal for a JRPG like Xenoblade, the majority of the audience that wants the game will buy it on the first week.
The title and cover at for 51 games puts me off. But on closer inspection, the game itself looks great.
I think Xenoblade has suffered from a lot of talk about counting frames per second, resolution and watching to see if the trees move and voice acting. It’s no breath of the wild but it’s great as it is on tv or switch lite. Love the voice acting, the north accents give a different feel to any other game.
@JoeM103 it took me weeks but a combination of the Nintendo Uk store wishlist and notifications from Stock informer (put them together and add dot co dot UK) helped get my copy last week. Keep at it though. The game is worth it ☺️
@BlackKnight93
Get.a.life.
@BlackKnight93 Why is it awful to be a Nintendo fan? If you enjoy the games arriving on Switch then what's the problem? TLOU2 will be a big release, but it's not going to be for for everyone, just like 51 Worldwide Classics or Xenoblade aren't for everyone. You're overthinking things and creating a conflict where there isn't one.
@Woodyshoe yes.
Good entry at 6th for Clubhouse Games, large but expected drop for Xenoblade.. Mario Kart keeps chugging along as per usual, reminds me I will have to play a few Online Multiplayer race's shortly...
@8itmap_k1d The problem is that I can't express appreciation of those games without being attacked by rabid fanboys. You don't have any idea of what I've been throught the last year because of the Sony fanboys and Death Stranding... With The Last of Us things are gonna be even worse...
@BlackKnight93 It’s an absolutely great time to be a nintendo fan, I hope you were joking. Also you can express your appreciation for Nintendo here my friend we don’t judge!! And Nintendo will have more games up their sleeve like Paper Mario and Clubhouse Games. There’ll be some reshuffling and inevitable delays with COVID but there’ll definitely be some more unannounced big 1st party games coming this year.
id there a full lidt of the whole 30
@BlackKnight93 it’s awful to be a Nintendo fan. Let’s cry together. 😉😉😉
ring fit any good with younger kids under 8
@JoeM103 Game.co.uk has it for £79.99 that's where I got mine. It's been in stock there for a o er a week surprising
How are Japan and U.K. getting these Ring Fits? In the USA I’ve been looking for a copy for 3-4 months with zero success. In stores or online. Store staff have told me they haven’t received shipments in months of it. So how are other countries getting them?
Long story short...I want one lol 😩 😢
@Anguspuss My 5 year old really enjoys ring fit and is able to follow the instructions pretty well.
My 3 year old's leg isn't quite big enough for the leg strap and so as he runs, it is always falling down. Also, he is not that good at following the instructions, so it takes awhile to jump over obstacles.
Oh and for the record, they don't play the story mode, they just do the mini games, rhythm games, and jogging sections. T'hose are the ones they like the best. The actual story mode is way too sophisticated for them at this time, especially considering their limited reading abilities.
@Ks123
Same here, it seems like buying the game online is impossible. I don’t have the time to be checking store stock constantly, I wish it was just readily available lol
@astros75 not to mention if the game is being produced and shipped to Japan and U.K., why can’t some units be allocated to the US? What am I missing?
'It's awful to be a Nintendo fan nowadays...'
He says when we're playing Animal Crossing New Horizons; possibly the biggest release on the system, the most talked about game on Twitter. Oh and there's Xenoblade Chronicles which has just been re-released; widely regarded as one of the finest JRPGs of all time. Terrible, terrible times.... It's so hard right now to find the time to play both of these =0p
@JoeM103 Argos or Game have in stock again
Ring Fit Adventure sales spiked by 1160% thanks to increased supply.
Xenoblade fell to #28? That’s sad. I still think I’ll buy it though.
I didn’t expect Xenoblade to be consistently in the top 10 beyond the first or second week.
Great regarding Clubhouse, the game (or should I say games?) is really fun!
Regarding XC: It was expected. No matter how great the game is (10/10 for me), it's not a monster franchise sales wise. But at least it had a moment to shine at no 1. Amazing title!
@BabyYoshi65 You still haven't bought it?! Come on, man!!
@BlackKnight93 Who cares what Sony fanboys (or any fanboys) think? You like what you like, play what you play. Nintendo are having a great time, so are we fans. Come on, man!!
😂
@BlackKnight93 Honestly? Let those fanboys run their mouths, it's all they can do. They're desperate for attention and validation for some reason. It's a great time to be a Nintendo fan. They can try and convince me Tlou and death stranding are amazing games, but for me they quickly bored me to tears and made me realize why I appreciate the effort and polish Nintendo puts in their gameplay.
Sadly, Those games are all about the presentation and graphics, any gameplay feels like an afterthought. Not saying it's terrible, I will gladly say Tlou had a great story with good characters and graphics, but the same repetitive gameplay in the game quickly lost me.
It's interesting to hear they fanboy over death stranding, that has to be the most divisive game I've ever seen. I don't think I've seen a game get so many 'game of the year' nominations while also appearing on as many 'worst games of the year' lists. Also, didn't it fall dramatically from sales charts in it's first few weeks?
Regardless, it shouldn't be about the systems, it should be about the games. If we can't recognize great games that push gameplay forward, no matter where they're available to play, we're holding back the progress of the industry for stupid, selfish reasons. I absolutely love Persona 5 and will no matter where it's available to play. Just as I love Xenoblade or Zelda.
@Quarth I’m waiting for a bit, because I just got Super Mario Maker 2, so I’m planning to get it sometime in this summer because I’m also getting the SW/SH expansion pass.
Wait - you mean 3rd party overpriced ports of Bioshock, Borderlands, XCOM2 and a super Ugly late port of The Outer Worlds were basically ignored on Switch... Shocking! 🙄
Nintendo as usual does a bit better with their rehash because of name brand.
Called a "Troll" when I said all this stuff were not exciting releases worth buying. But turns out "the majority" on Switch thought the same.
Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics not for me. But getting it for my wife. Got her a Switch Lite as a surprise after she asked me about Animal Crossing 😀
@BlackKnight93
Na, most do not skip on top releases on Switch or PS4 (from any publisher) because of what Fanboys say.
PS4 fanboys trashing on an amazing Switch exclusive they can't play or Switch fanboys on an amazing 3rd party not coming to Switch - usually ends up being irrelevant.
People who love videogames (not hardware with "Logo X" on the box) will make them into hits.
@NotoriousWhiz thanks mine are 7 and 5. they annoyed hell out of me for a switch so last month we got a pikachu lets go edition one. (now im also tasked if im out running to take the poke ball with me) but they seen the adds and asked if we could get it. will pick it up for after summer as we have open air pool accross the street thats finally open to burn the little buggers out.
@BabyYoshi65 I see. Well, SMM2 is real fun, so that's a good choice.
@Agramonte Oh, for me they're exciting: never played Borderlands or BioShock, so these ports are worth every öre as we say in Sweden (though we don't have öre anymore). I was excited for The Outer Worlds coming to Switch, as I haven't played that one either, but the performance issues makes me skip it.
I think you'll enjoy Clubhouse Games with your wife. It's fun to play together. This year's biggest surprise so far.
@Quarth That is cool. I always advocate for more choices - not fewer. Do not think these should not come out - just a better mix of New/Old. I still play Borderlands 3 on PC.
Yeah, I think it is amazing. The last time she asked me anything about Videogames was when she recognized Norman Reedus when I was playing Death Standing 😅
Just happy she asked about any console or game for herself in general.
@Agramonte Yeah, the more the merrier. I bet we'll see more new Nintendo exclusives soon. At the very least, the new Paper Mario is just around the corner.
It's always fun when your partner takes interest in your hobbies, even if it's only one tiny thing about it. My girlfriend isn't that much into gaming, but she really likes Splatoon 2 and she also enjoys Wolfenstein 2. It's not more than that though. On the other hand, we share a big interest in music, so we always have that together.
But she actually showed some interest in Clubhouse Gaming, or as it's called here in Europe: 51 Worldwide Games... 😑
I’ve been loving Clubhouse games so far and have only played about 10 of em in single player mode. Glad it’s doing well so far!
@Woodyshoe I'm pretty sure they're southern accents
@Agramonte No, you're called a troll because, among other things, you constantly insist that only the newest, biggest games are worth buying, constantly point out which ones the Switch isn't getting, constantly claim that the Switch is inferior--and then undermine yourself by refusing to sell the system and being done with the whole thing. You won't stop talking about all the other systems you have and games you play on them, but still criticize the Switch for not having more of the same, even though you don't need it and couldn't possibly have more time for it anyway. I can't wait to see what you have to say about Sony's event this week and what talking points you use to spin your narrative.
@BlackKnight93
You can play Nintendo games with us here. 😀
You still have some good buddies to play Nintendo games together.
Maybe i can add your Switch FC if you interested.
You are not alone.
Let them (rabid fanboys) barking nonsense in the air and you keep playing Nintendo games happily like nobody ever disturbing you.
If you got attacked by someone physically for playing Nintendo games, call police and let the police take control those haters.
Seeing how generous Nintendo is with Clubhouse Games (And I want it really bad, as I loved the original), and just the fact that the game has finally come back after 15 years brings me hope that Nintendo's future is looking bright... F-Zero never felt more possible than now. They're starting to understand that if the games are on old systems, children would be turned off by that... As they maybe even don't have said system. Reviving a franchise after a long time can increase interest in the game that was once known only by so many people, becomes an absolute money maker of amazing quality with a bigger following than ever. If Nintendo were to finally bring F-Zero back from the dead, I guarantee that it would definitely be a hit, as Animal Crossing, one of Nintendo's other (once) lesser-known franchises, became a smash hit with its latest installment (for better or for worse). Plus, Smash fans that never got to play F-Zero can finally enjoy Captain Falcon in is home.
The original Clubhouse Games was unusually popular in the UK, having sold ~600,000 copies in the UK vs ~2.5 million copies worldwide. By comparison, the Nintendo DS sold ~12.5 million units the UK vs ~154 million units worldwide
I expect 51 Clubhouse Games to have decent legs during the summer, though it obviously isn't going to sell anywhere near as much as the original NDS entry.
@AndyRogan @Cheeseuk @jsw-8 @Ooccoo_Jr
Thanks for your help on where to find Ringfit! I used the wishlist on the UK store and got an email yesterday about 10-15 mins before it became available. Can't wait for it to turn up so I can start playing! (or maybe I should say exercising!)
@JoeM103 glad to hear you got one ☺️ it's honestly really surprising how good it is. I'm on moderate level and you actually work up a sweat 😳
@frogopus Animal Crossing sold millions because the systems it was on were best-sellers. F-Zero was only on SNES, GBA, GameCube (one of the worst selling Nintendo systems), and the Nintendo 64 (again, a system that didn't sell all too well, despite being a beloved console). Animal Crossing was on GameCube, DS, Wii, 3DS and Switch. Most of those systems sold really well as compared to the competition. I am sure that ClubHouse Games was planned long before quarantine even started. It's too polished to not be.
@frogopus Also, Nintendo can easily make a title that is more accessible to new players, but challenging to veterans at the same time.
@JoeM103 Enjoy pal! The technology works perfectly and you certainly feel it in your joints the next day so it must be doing some good.
@westman98 how though? Where is the increased supply? In the US it’s still impossible to find at stores or online. Unless someone can tell me what I’m doing wrong 🤷♂️
@JimmySpades If Sony announces Xcom2, Borderlands handsome collection, Metro 1/2 and Bioshock Collection on Thursday for the PS5. Tons of gamers will be complaining. And tons of articles will call it a fiasco. Nobody should try and defend that nonsense because now it is coming from Sony 🙄 I do not want news on rehashed BloodBorne or Mass Effect rehash on Thursday either. I am expecting new games.
How can Ring Fit Adventure be at second spot? I put my name down for a copy since early February, and heard no news of it since.
@frogopus Well... You're not wrong... But why are you doing this to me?
