Sales of Wii U-originals have risen almost 200%
You can almost set your watch on it. Nintendo launches Switch game, Switch game is the best of the UK Charts. With each major release, Nintendo continues to gain favor with the UK gaming public and the launch of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Wrath was no exception, and was number one in the UK Charts.
As reported by GamesIndustry.biz, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, which critics have received is already the third largest Nintendo Switch Mario release ever, just behind 2017s Super Mario Odyssey and 2020s Super Mario 3D All-Stars. In terms of launch figures, the new dual-pack is an absolute hit, with physical sales 190% higher than the launch figures for the Wii-U original 2013 – although the user base for Nintendo Switch obviously weighs much heavier than that of its large screen brothers. Nintendo’s new title is already a winner.
Elsewhere in the charts, Bandai Namco’s creepy sequel Little Nightmares II made his debut at number seven, following positive press reviews. The rest of the top ten are rounded up by veterans on the map by Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Nintendo’s Animal crossing: new horizons and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe‘Electronic Arts’ FIFA 21, and Sony’s web pendulum adventure Spider-Man Miles Morales.
