Famitsu’s Japanese chart figures are now in for 27th May – 2nd June, revealing that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate remains at number one.

It was a pretty quiet week in the Japanese retail space this week, with no new games making a dent on the top ten. Instead, nine of the top ten spots have been taken by some of the country’s most popular Switch games, with a singular PS4 title also making the cut.

Here are the top 10 (first numbers are this week’s sales, followed by total sales):


1) [NSW] Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Nintendo) {2018.12.07} – 9.087 / 3.103.248
