Super Mario Bros. Wonder Tops Weekly Japanese Retail Charts Again

Last week, Super Mario Bros. Wonder retook the No. 1 spot in Japan’s weekly physical software sales charts, and as per new data released by Famitsu, it remains in the top spot in the newest charts as well, having sold over 94,000 units over the course of the week.

In fact, the entire top 5 has remained unchanged, with Momotaro Dentetsu World: Chikyuu wa Kibou de Mawatteru! coming in at No. 2 (over 62,000 units sold), Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince slotting in at No. 3 (over 35,000 units sold), Pikmin 4 taking the No. 4 spot (over 34,000 units sold), and Super Mario RPG taking fifth place (over 17,000 units sold).

Things have remained fairly static on the hardware front as well. The Nintendo Switch is once again the highest selling console of the week with over 94,000 units sold, while the PS5 follows behind by quite some margin, having sold over 42,000 units over the course of last week.
