Well, that was somewhat short-lived. After briefly witnessing a new Nintendo release on the podium, the Big N’s latest has seen quite the fall in its second week.
Yes, last week’s silver medal wasn’t enough to keep Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition in the race this time, with the latest RPG dropping all the way down to 13th. Assassin’s Creed Shadows continues to kill off the rest of the competition from the top spot, and Fireshine’s British apocalyptic survivor, Atomfall, debuts at number two.
This leaves Nintendo’s old faithful to pick up the slack, once again. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Minecraft keep chugging along in seventh and eighth, while Hello Kitty Island Adventure starts strong on Switch and debuts in 10th.
But that’s quite enough chit-chat. Here’s a look at the full top 40 for this week, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles as well as the Switch:
