After a quick look at the latest UK boxed software charts? Well, you've come to the right place.
With Black Friday sales fizzling out, things have mostly returned to normal this week. The big three of EA Sports FC 25, Hogwarts Legacy and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 assume their positions on the podium once again, leaving Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to lead the pack for Nintendo in fourth.
The rest of the top 10 is a stronger showing for the Big N. Super Mario Party Jamboree continues to sell well alongside the usual suspects like Nintendo Switch Sports and Minecraft. Hey, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has even snuck back into the upper echelons at ninth — way to go, princess!
Here's a look at this week's top 40 in full, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles alongside the Switch:

Did you pick up anything new this week? Let us know what you think of the latest charts in the comments below.

I’m surprised that Echoes of wisdom isn’t doing better than it is. 8th for a Zelda game is rather sad. You would think that a game that appeals to younger audiences would do really well this time of year.
Normal service has been resumed. Also, I know it’s out of @NintendoLife’s hands when the details are released, but it’s good to get this chart update on a Monday again!
Regardless of your views on EAFC it bodes well it has been selling so well on Switch as it shows the viability of third party titles leading into Switch 2 next year.
Sony must be disappointed by the bombing of Lego Horizon but by all accounts it is not a "proper" Lego game so they seemingly missed the point.
@Xenoblade-Fan
Zelda on Swich has become a bit oversaturated (not it alone).
Nintendo needs to diversify a bit more next gen for me.
Star Fox, F Zero, Wave Race, Pilotwings etc.
Let's see that bag of IP fully utilised.
Mario kart 8 Deluxe is unstoppable! I swear they are going to have a heck of a time trying to top it.
There's no stopping Hogwarts Legacy, especially on Switch, in the UK!
Also happy for the usual 8 Deluxe, Switch Sports, New Horizons and Wonder in 4th, 5th, 13th and 14th respectively, Jamboree in 6th, Generations in 7th and selling the most on Switch, Astro Bot in 11th and Brothership in 16th!
@SBandy1 Nintendo already has such a large player base for their mega IPs it would make sense for the numerous number of players that Zelda picked up last year. While I do wish for the return of smaller IPs I think Nintendo will stick to the ones proven to make money. However they might learn from the amount of growth that some IPs have made on the Switch such as Xenoblade, Metroid, and Kirby. Personally I hope Switch 2 comes with tomodachi life.
@SBandy1 10 gold stars for mentioning Wave Race!!! You have made my day.
>mentioning IPs that should make a comeback
>no mention of Rhythm Heaven
>eternalsadness.mp4
@WheresWaveRace
Wave Race 64 is still the best water based racing game ever made!
What I would give for a 60fps HD remaster with HD rumble....
@shiftbarackyeaugh
"etc" doing a lot of heavy lifting for me!
@Xenoblade-Fan It’s been out for over 2 months and is back in the Top 10 during some of the biggest sales weeks of the year. That’s a pretty good result,
@Rob3008 Fair enough, I just had higher hopes for this game.
Great week for Switch software. Mario Kart 8 is such a beast, well deserved too. The game is packed with content.
Sony working on Astro Kart looks to be a certainty lol. I'm joking, but it will probably bloody happen lol.
BLUEY is on number 18. 😊
i'm assuming this chart is including the console pack-in bundle pre-installed [digital] games ? (Animal Crossing, Switch Sports, Mario Wonder, Mario Kart)
@Xenoblade-Fan
For a 2D Zelda game, charting at #8 at this time of the year is a great result. It's not a juggernaut IP like FIFA/FC or Call of Duty, nor is it bundled with hardware like Mario Kart or Switch Sports, nor has it gotten a price reduction.
How is that awful Blackops 6 at 3?
Finally brought Hogwarts Legacy on Switch.
I see why Nintendo brought Shiver when they had the chance.
It looks like ass but other than the long load times I've never had a problem with it. Zero bugs, zero freezes, nothing. For such a huge game, that's to be applauded.
@SBandy1 totally agree!! The water physics are sublime. Let’s have a Wave Race 64HD release before all new wave race 4.
