We have the latest UK charts and it's another strong week for Kirby and the Forgotten Land, which holds strong at the top spot with only a 43% drop in boxed sales. Meanwhile, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands slips down to 4th place, bringing Elden Ring and Pokémon Legends: Arceus into 2nd and 3rd respectively.

There are no newcomers to the top ten this week, with only one new game entering into the top 40: Crusader Kings 3: Console Edition. The title just managed to scrape by, however, positioning at number 40.
Elsewhere, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has inched its way up the charts to come in at number 6, likely off the back of renewed interest thanks to the Booster Course Pass. Animal Crossing: New Horizons has also re-entered the top 10 at number 9. It's possible in this case that the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack has reignited interest in New Horizons, with the Happy Home Paradise DLC being included in addition to Mario Kart 8's Booster Course Pass.

Kirby deserves every single sale....truly amazing game!!!
Incredible! I'm still Loving Kirby and the Forgotten Land; in fact, I've purchased another copy for my Son for his Nintendo Switch Lite and he's enjoying it as well! I hope it wins Awards for Sure!
@Toads-Friend Absolutely 💯
Picked it up this weekend, enjoying it so far.
But staying top for a second week? Impressive!
Kirby is so much better than I expected. Bought it to play with the kids but started my own playthrough as well.
I got my copy last week which I will be starting once I finish Xenoblade Chronicles which I'm nearly done with. Amazing how Kirby has held the spot for 2 weeks here, if you told me that 5 years ago the UK charts would be like this I'd have laughed
Interesting that New Horizons is still rather high up in the physical charts, on the eshop it's close to leaving the top 30.
Currently playing my way through all of the top 4 and are all amazing games, currently on the snowy map on Kirby and just unlocked the meta knight ability.
Tiny Tina Wonderlands is also underrated, absolutely beautiful looking game
Great news! I've just finished it and it definitely surprised me (in a good way) with its difficulty on Wild Mode. I've played the original on the Gameboy and its successor on the NES (which have always been my personal favorite Kirby games), but this has definitely taken top spot!
Hopefully its success will eventually lead to a sequel of some sorts.
My son adores Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Unfortunately not next week.
The Lego force is strong, with this one. 😂
@Dezzy70 I wouldn't be surprised if Lego Star Wars is only #1 for 1 week because of GTAV current gen physical release.
After two years I finally stopped my daily visits to my island on New Horizons. Thank you, Kirby!
I love Animal Crossing, and I have played many many games in the past two years. But I would always spend at least twenty minutes each day on my island.
But as I started Kirby, I really wanted to jump all in and spend all my gaming time on this game. It is really a fun time!
It's an amazing game. I was hoping it would be great and have not been disappointed.
It's better than I expected. Well worth picking up for anyone who's on the fence.
So deserved! Hope this game reaches Mario Odyssey-level sales!
It really is great. My only complaint is that the controls don't feel as "physical" or athletic / bouncy as a Mario game would. So the pace is a bit more pedestrian, and the special powers don't feel super precise, more "spammy" (giving battles a tiiiny hint of "Hyrule Warriors").
But that's really all I could find, the love for detail and fresh ideas and atmospheric settings and, increasingly, the music too are top notch.
@Grumblevolcano
Oh no, not GTAV again 😂
Just started playing it, it is pretty good
@Dezzy70 I’m a bit worried by the absence of its normal mid-table appearance.
Seeing a lot of very happy Kirby punters too!
We've finished Epic Yarn and Star Allies, and my daughter finished Return to Dreamland with one of her friends.
We were ready for another Kirby game.
We played the demo and decided this game is good to go!
The 3D definitely adds another dimension to Kirby! LOL. We are really enjoying the game!
Kirby is really fun and charming, with a good variety of worlds and powers. Total recommend.
@WiltonRoots
Me enjoying Kirby I went digital though.
I'm so happy to see Kirby doing so well, i hope this shows Nintendo that other franchises could do as well if they gave them new 3D games, DK, Yoshi, Wario, maybe even the Ice Climbers and Chibi-Robo too, wishful thinking i know lol
So happy for Kirby’s success. The news is awesome. Replaying the game with my mom and played the post game with a friend. Getting a lot out of it too from others also enjoying it.
