Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake had a disappointing run in the UK charts, failing to make it to the top 40 this week. This RPG remake from Square Enix, which debuted in 14th place last week, has completely dropped off the charts, showing a clear contrast in the gaming preferences between the UK and Japan. While Dragon Quest games typically don’t perform well in the UK, this outcome is still surprising. On the bright side, the game’s success in Japan might compensate for its UK setback.
On a more positive note, Nintendo has had a strong showing this week in the UK charts. Titles like Super Mario Party Jamboree, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Nintendo Switch Sports have secured spots in the top 10. However, Mario & Luigi: Brothership has slipped down to the 17th position.
For a detailed look at the top 40 games in the UK charts this week, here is the breakdown by platform:
1. EA Sports FC 25 (PS5 40%, Switch 36%, PS4 13%, Xbox 12%)
2. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
3. Hogwarts Legacy (Switch 39%, PS5 26%, PS4 22%, Xbox 7%)
4. Super Mario Party Jamboree
5. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
6. Nintendo Switch Sports
7. Super Mario Bros. Wonder
8. MySims Cozy Bundle
9. Astro Bot
10. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
