Who left that banana peel there?
We are back with our latest look at the UK physical software charts, and while Donkey Kong Bananza continues to be a hit, its sales haven't managed to keep it in pole position.

UK Charts Donkey Kong Bananza Is A Hit, But Sells Less Than Half Of Super Mario Odyssey
Oh, banana!
The latest UK charts data is in, and as expected, Donkey Kong Bananza is a hit, climbing all the way to the top to beat the likes of Mario Kart World, Hogwarts Legacy, and EA Sports FC 25. How well it actually sold, however, is a little bit more difficult to gauge. According to The Game Business' Chris Dring, Bananza sold three times...

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe falls again

With the new Switch 2 on the horizon, it...
UK Charts A Shake Up Puts Nintendo Out Of The Top 10
Yes, even Mario Kart
A slight shake up this week has put Nintendo out of the top 10 altogether, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe coming in at number 11. Truth be told, we wouldn't be surprised if some folks are choosing to hold back on purchasing a new Mario Kart game until World shows up on the Switch 2.

Leaving Suikoden in the dust

Can't quite topple EA Sports FC 25, though
This week in the UK, Sid Meier's Civilization VII makes its debut and starts off strong at number 2, beating the likes of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but not quite able to topple the might of EA Sports FC 25. Still, can't complain, and the Switch version in particular has done...

Slippery slope
Gosh, you can really feel Nintendo's distinct lack of output at the moment, huh?

No monkeying around
Nintendo's latest release, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, has made its debut at number one in the UK following its launch on 16th January 2025.
