The latest Japanese boxed charts are in, courtesy of Famitsu, and Nintendo is back to dominating the top ten this week.
The big new release of the moment, Donkey Kong Bananza, has sold a smashing 127,905 units in the week of 14th July to 20th July, but can't quite take the number one spot from the Switch 2 launch title Mario Kart World, which shifted another 135,370 copies. DK, of course, was only available for part of the week, so we'll see how far its legs carry it over the coming weeks.
For comparison's sake, Tropical Freeze debuted on Switch with 88,421 physical sales, and on Wii U it debuted with 35,717 sales.

The only other new release of the week that cracked the top ten is Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact, a fighting game based on the hugely popular manga and anime series. However, at least in terms of physical sales, it only managed to shift 3,174 copies on Switch, with other platforms outside the top ten.
Tamagotchi Plaza continues to do very well, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains in the top five with Animal Crossing joining it — incredibly impressive given that we have that new Mario Kart. Nothing will stop it, eh?
Here's a closer look at this week's top 10:
On the hardware side of things, Switch 2 sales continue to climb as the new console has sold an extra 20k+ units this week compared to last — it shifted 152,165 this week compared to 71,885 last week. That's a nice boost thanks to DK, we reckon.
Once again the Switch OLED and Lite have outsold the PS5, with only the OLED managing to sell above 5,000 units. It's a bit of a drop from last week, but as more new games come to the Switch 2, we're sure more people will move over.
Here's the rundown of this week's hardware chart:
