You’re using Chris Dring as your source? LOL. Not exactly known for being an accurate/reliable source. Also note, Nintendo never releases digital sales, of which have been increasing in the last few years. A lot of unknowns here, so a pinch of salt is required.
Oof, that’s gonna be a tough pick, a game I’ve waited for, for nearly a decade (MP4), or a port of a trash game that’s never even registered to me since its original announcement (AssCred). Decisions, decisions…
Poor Yotei, I expected more, especially when it has little competition, save for a remastered port. It’ll be business as usual come next week. Guarantee, Mario Galaxy outsells Yotei in the long run.
While the UK weekly sales are rather insignificant, the most amusing thing here is how quickly Sonic Racing fell off, especially as a multiplat release.
Mario Kart World > Sonic Racing Crossworlds, and it’s not even close.
Interesting, game costs the new standard price of US$70, a deluxe version for US$90, announcing dlc before/at launch and yet little to no one bats an eye.
Wow these sorts of “opinions” have gotten annoying fast. It’s like every time they add a change/something new people get upset, until they actually play the damn thing.
Me? I still wanna see a full blown online multiplayer mode, Feds v Pirates, Halo ODST style.
Nintendo could do something Halo ODST/Reach-like with a Metroid Prime spinoff, with online multiplayer, there’d be even smaller want for games like this. Probably do the franchise some good too.
Mind you Battlefield hasn’t been that good since BF3, arguably BF4.
Probably one of the worst directs I’ve seen in recent times, rivalling the “farming sim” direct. Sure there were a couple of games I’m looking forward to, but mostly mid-to-rubbish.
And frankly, all sports games and Just Dance should never get a spotlight segment in any games showcase, they should all be displayed in a quick fire segment.
Always knew Nintendo would be the last to hold out, for better or worse. The big MS acquisitions were always a sign that MS was going to transition into a major 3rd party publisher, and now Sony follows suit with the PC ports and now their “competitor ports”.
@Sindayl what are you talking about? There have been plenty of games cancelled on Nintendo platforms before. It’s never been a unique situation to Xbox.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Team Open To More DLC: "Tell Us What You Want"
@Sonicka source is the weekly charts “bro”.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Team Open To More DLC: "Tell Us What You Want"
So far this game is basically a flop on every platform it released on, in basically every region.

Re: Sonic Team's Boss Wants To Put More Sonic Characters In The Spotlight
The year of another mediocre character.
Re: The ROG Xbox Ally X Receives Glowing Reviews, But It's Still Pretty Pricey
Pretty sure you can buy an Xbox sticker for less than a dollar. Just slap that bad boy on anything and boom, you got an Xbox.
In all seriousness, I don’t see Microsoft duking it out in the console space for much longer.
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Shadows On Switch 2 May Clash With Metroid Prime 4
Oof, that’s gonna be a tough pick, a game I’ve waited for, for nearly a decade (MP4), or a port of a trash game that’s never even registered to me since its original announcement (AssCred). Decisions, decisions…
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Rating Spotted Online
Yeah no thanks, won’t be tainting my NS2 with this Ubislop.
Re: Japanese Charts: Sucker Punch Stops Mario Galaxy Soaring Too High
Poor Yotei, I expected more, especially when it has little competition, save for a remastered port. It’ll be business as usual come next week. Guarantee, Mario Galaxy outsells Yotei in the long run.
Re: Nintendo Goes Full Pixar In Strange New Animated Short Film, 'Close To You'
I remember when being compared/likened to Pixar used to be a compliment. But now? Not so much.
Re: Nintendo's Out To Get $4,500,000 In Damages From Ongoing Switch Piracy Case
FAFO. You love to see it.
Re: UK Charts: Mario Galaxy Starts Strong, But It Can't Topple Sony's Latest
While the UK weekly sales are rather insignificant, the most amusing thing here is how quickly Sonic Racing fell off, especially as a multiplat release.
Mario Kart World > Sonic Racing Crossworlds, and it’s not even close.
I expect Yotei to drop off by next week too.
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
@benmalsky198
I beg to differ.
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
Careful now, I hear people aren’t entitled to their wrong opinions as they used to be in the UK, even on the internet.
Re: Japanese Charts: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Can't Compete With Mario Kart World
You’ra too slow! Mario numba one! Wahoo!
Re: Video: After Six Wonderful Years, Zion Is Leaving Nintendo Life
I have no idea who this is.
But how very UK of NLife to block the comments for the EA purchase.
Re: UK Charts: FC 26 Scores An Early Winner And Keeps Sonic Racing From The Podium
Huh, after all the bickering and hollering, I expected Sonic Racing to out perform Mario Kart, at least upon launch day.
And sure, SEGA screwed up the Switch version, but after watching the PS5 version, it’s nothing to really brag about.
Re: Feature: Who Is Devon Pritchard? - Meet The Next NOA President Stepping Into Bowser's Boots
At the very least, the lack of a BlueSky account is promising.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Officially Reveals Mega Man Season Pass Collab
Interesting, game costs the new standard price of US$70, a deluxe version for US$90, announcing dlc before/at launch and yet little to no one bats an eye.
Re: Rumour: New Zelda LEGO Set Rumour Links It To Fan Favourite Entry
If Nintendo were smart, they’d release a bunch of Metroid, Star Fox and F-Zero LEGO models. I know I’d preorder/buy them all in a heartbeat.
Re: Opinion: Resident Evil Requiem Represents A Turning Point For Switch 2
While I agree this is great news, I’d really like to see the Silent Hill games make their way to the NS2.
Re: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Is Getting A Sweet 'Switch 2 Edition' Upgrade This November
Nice. Still waiting for my physical copy, last time I preorder anything from LRG. Hopefully everything goes smoothly for the sequel.
Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
Wow these sorts of “opinions” have gotten annoying fast. It’s like every time they add a change/something new people get upset, until they actually play the damn thing.
Me? I still wanna see a full blown online multiplayer mode, Feds v Pirates, Halo ODST style.
Re: Sega Reignites Its Nintendo Rivalry In New Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Trailer
Funny little rib. But even as a multiplat release, I doubt it will even come close to MKW sales.
Re: Review: Hollow Knight: Silksong - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Woven To Brutal Perfection
It’s definitely up there with the best, but definitely not a 10.
Re: Surprise! Kirby Air Riders Is Getting A Second Direct
A 2nd Kirby Riders direct, but no Metroid Prime 4: Beyond direct? 😡
Re: Nintendo's Patent On 'Sub Characters' Could Have Some Dire Ramifications
Oh boo hoo.
So sad.
Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart World Takes The Lead While Cronos Sees Weak Sales On Switch 2
Without actual sales numbers, like the one on Japan sales, these sort of lists aren’t all that useful.
Re: Tales Of The Shire: A The Lord Of The Rings Game Updated On Switch
A good patch would be one that removes this game from all gaming stores.
Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Switch 2) - An Underrated Adventure, A Super-Solid Port
Ubisoft + Disney Star Wars = no sale/2nd hand.
Re: Rumour: Resident Evil Requiem Could Be Heading To The Switch 2
Dragon's Dogma 2, please.
Re: The Force Isn't Strong With Star Wars Outlaws On Switch 2, Initial Impressions Suggest
This just in, garbage game turns out to be garbage elsewhere. More at 6.
Re: Nightdive's CEO Reiterates Desire To Remaster 'Eternal Darkness'
I’ll take a Nightdive remaster, but would prefer a Bloober remake. Still got my GC copy.
Re: Mattel Adds Special Edition Pauline To Its Mario Kart Hot Wheels Line
Think I’m just missing Rosalina, and now this one obviously. But AU$40 for a Hot Wheels is a bit much, even if it is a Special Edition.
I still reckon MKW is bound for DKB content soon.
Re: Feature: 32 Games We're Dying To See On Switch 2
Some decent picks, mixed with never-gonna-happen & total garbage.
Pretty standard, I guess.
Re: Anniversary: n-Space & Nintendo's M-Rated GameCube Gem Is 20 Years Old
Still got my hard copy of Geist and Eternal Darkness. Man I want someone like Bloober Team to remake ED.
Re: Talking Point: Where On Earth Are The Switch 2 Soundtracks On Nintendo Music?
So basically you’re impatient.
On another note, Zebra Bananza theme is only the 2nd best Bananza theme, Snake Bananza got it beat by a country mile.
Re: Opinion: We Really Don't Need A Donkey Kong Timeline
It’s not that hard to put together, and it’s not that deep NLife.
Re: Opinion: We Really Don't Need A Donkey Kong Timeline
After giving Bananza a 9/10, NLife’s opinion on this matter means very little.
Re: Rumour: Three Games Were Pulled From Nintendo's Direct Partner Showcase, According To Veteran Games Journalist
Ackshually, there were 10 games removed from that direct. My sauce? I made it up and it tastes great!
Re: EA Doesn't Currently Have Plans To Bring Battlefield 6 To Switch 2
Nintendo could do something Halo ODST/Reach-like with a Metroid Prime spinoff, with online multiplayer, there’d be even smaller want for games like this. Probably do the franchise some good too.
Mind you Battlefield hasn’t been that good since BF3, arguably BF4.
Re: Surprise! Bloober Team Is Bringing Sci-Fi Scares To Switch 2 With 'Cronos: The New Dawn'
One of the very few, good surprises in that direct.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase July 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
Probably one of the worst directs I’ve seen in recent times, rivalling the “farming sim” direct. Sure there were a couple of games I’m looking forward to, but mostly mid-to-rubbish.
And frankly, all sports games and Just Dance should never get a spotlight segment in any games showcase, they should all be displayed in a quick fire segment.
And where were all the Microsoft published games?
Re: Sony Job Listing Suggests More PS5 Games Could Get A Nintendo Release
Always knew Nintendo would be the last to hold out, for better or worse. The big MS acquisitions were always a sign that MS was going to transition into a major 3rd party publisher, and now Sony follows suit with the PC ports and now their “competitor ports”.
Re: 'The Knightling' Has Gone Gold, But The Switch Version Has Been Axed
@Sindayl what are you talking about? There have been plenty of games cancelled on Nintendo platforms before. It’s never been a unique situation to Xbox.
Re: Review: WWE 2K25 (Switch 2) - The Best Wrestling Game You'll Find On A Switch
Does it have character creation?
Re: Ubisoft Reportedly Cancels Star Wars Outlaws Sequel
Oh no! Anyway…
@Spoony_Tech sales? Ubisoft don’t do sales numbers anymore, it’s “player counts” now, whether they made a sale or not.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Rating Spotted Online
I thought Nintendo said they were reducing the amount of shovelware & straight up garbage games on the NS2?
Re: Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot Is Hopeful That Upcoming Switch 2 Port Can Revive Star Wars Outlaws
Keep dreaming Yves.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Director Acknowledges Performance Drops: "We Prioritized Fun And Playability"
I doubt it’ll even be noticeable, but people will always continue to need a reason to complain about something, even if it’s nothing.
