UK Charts: Animal Crossing Takes Second Place In Another Decent Week For Nintendo

That’s pretty good.

Last of Us is doing well for a single-player story game after a month on release. Doubt it will stick around the top 10 as long as some of Nintendo's finest, but tip of the hat to Sony for continuing to prove the naysayers wrong that there's room and demand in the market for single-player games that aren't stuffed with microtransactions.

Wait, Friends of Mineral town is out? I thought it came out tomorrow?

Wow, four single platform, Nintendo Switch exclusive titles make up almost half of the UK Top10.

I bought ACNH since 27 June 2020 and got addicted so much.
I have played for 120 hours within 15 days.
Absolutely great Animal Crossing game.
And also, my ACNH is Europe version.

@KoopaTheQuick Fifa 21 is coming soon, so people are waiting.

only in the UK Luigis Mansion 3 remains in the top 10 chart

Luigi's Mansion 3 sold more than FIFA. Therefore Weegee Haunted House Thrice is better... For now.

I love the fact that LM3 is still selling in the UK. These longs legs must convince the big N that a sequel is worth it. They could even branch out a little and do another Luigi centred game. How about Luigi’s F-ZERO or Luigi’s PILOTWINGS or Luigi’s ETERNAL DARKNESS or Luigi’s 1080 or Luigi’s WAVE RACE or Luigi’s EXCITEBIKE or Luigi’s PIKMIN or Luigi’s EARTHBOUND. I need a sit down

Surely there cant be anyone left that doesn't own a copy of GTAV and MK8?!?! 🤣

Tlou2 slowly disappearing

It'll be interesting to see which does better out of Paper Mario and Ghost of Tsushima next week.

@fox_mattcloud the only thing I can think is that folks buying a Switch to play AC buy MK8D as a second game.

It's sad to see that AC is nearly 4 months old and nothing from Nintendo came in between 😑
It's been a dry season for me so far.

@beazlen1 lol loved your comment.
You forgot Luigi's Diddy Kong Race!

Love how GTA V is still beating around in the Top 10 after it's 2013 release.

It would have been in first place if not for Nintendo removing the camera glitch.

@tourjeff Oh yes of course Luigi’s Diddy Kong Racing!! That probably would have been the end of me though, I get very frustrated and even angry sometimes when I think about all those amazing yet dormant IPs. I need another sit already.

@Grumblevolcano
Ghosts of Tsushima will do better, and by a large margin (4-5×).

Not like that matters though given how wildly different both games are.

Argos ran put of Bravely Second stock, which means it has dropped out pf the Top 40 entirely after 2 weeks of it being in the Top 3 😆

@beazlen1 what's more frustrating is that some of these games would be perfect fillers, tell me what did we have between AC and now from Nintendo? Nothing memorable that I can remember.
Just the board games collection but that's all?
And, in my view, these are not games that would require a lot of time & resources to be made.
It's crazy to think that none of these IPs appeared on the Switch yet.

@rockodoodle Seems to be the case from my FB friends that are their new Switch accounts to FB.

@tourjeff paper Mario is a filler, IMO. This is the fifth one in less than a decade, albeit some are remakes.

🏎 Loving F1 2020 🏎 glad it did well (🏁Great F1 race yesterday made me want to play more) It is also only $36 on PC

Deadly Premonition 2 at nowhere land #32. Most did not buy the "Broken game is charming" nonsense. Shocking!

By next Weekend I'll have F12020, Ghost of Tsushima and Paper Mario. Now that is a gaming weekend 😃😎

@rockodoodle yeah, I suppose it is but my point before was that after AC, released about 4 months ago, we only had clubhouse as a filler from Nintendo, at least this is the only game I can remember and I'm not counting the pokemon DLC.
So it's been a very slow year and, now, I have doubts that it will be better on the second half of the year.

@tourjeff 2020 Nintendo games so far has been:

January - Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore

March - Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX, Animal Crossing New Horizons

May - Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition

June - Clubhouse Games

July - Paper Mario Origami King

Some of the gaps were filled in with DLC (like Fire Emblem in February, Smash in January and June, etc.) but for the most part, Switch has been on the quiet side this year. Also no Nintendo games have a release date after Paper Mario so something will likely happen this week whether a Direct announcement or a Paper Mario style announce out of nowhere reveal.
