Marvelous’ Switch-exclusive life sim RPG Rune Factory 5 isn’t out in the West until later this year, but the game launched in Japan last week, and as you’d expect, enjoyed solid sales. Famitsu has released its newest weekly data for Japanese software and hardware sales, and Rune Factory 5 topped the software charts with over 102,000 units sold. Meanwhile, fellow Switch exclusive Miitopia debuted in second place, selling over 72,000 units.

Between the two in fourth place is Ring Fit Adventure, selling over 18,000 copies.

When Resident Evil Village launched earlier this month, it unsurprisingly debuted on top of the weekly UK retail charts, but was pushed down to second place the following week with Mass Effect: Legendary Edition nabbing the top spot on its own debut. Now, Capcom’s survival horror game has retaken the top spot despite a 61% drop in sales, seeing 44% its sales on PS4 and 29% on PS5 (via GamesIndustry).

Mass Effect, meanwhile, drops down to third place. It saw a 76% drop in sales from last week, and 72% of its sales this week came on the PS4, with the remaining 22% coming on Xbox One. Between the top games is the Switch exclusive Miitopia, which enjoys a decent debut, enjoying 36% higher launch sales when the game launched for the 3DS in 2017.

Rust: Console Edition was another new release last week, and though it didn’t make it into the top 10, it did debut in eleventh place, with 54% sales on PS4 and 46% on Xbox One. Meanwhile, with the likes of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Grand Theft Auto 5, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and the Switch version of Minecraft, the rest of the top 10 is full of familiar faces.

Announced in February and set to be released on May 21st, the Switch game is a customizable RPG adventure that allows players to use their Miis to take down an evil Dark Lord.

The eShop demo includes the game’s first area and allows players to customize their Miis with wigs and makeup. Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will be able to share their own Miis and download their friends’, as well as popular characters from the game’s original release on the 3Ds in 2017.

As in the 3DS version, Mii characters will be able to build relationships with one another, which will influence how they perform in combat. Progress from the demo can be carried over to the full game, which will retail for $49.99. Nintendo is also launching a new, blue version of the Switch Lite on May 21st, the same day as Miitopia.

Vicarious Visions’ Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has topped UK charts once again for the week ending July 29th. Gfk Chart-Track confirmed that the remastered trilogy has spent four weeks at the number one spot. Considering how it’s only five weeks old, that’s no small achievement.

Splatoon 2 is still hanging in there though at second place followed by Grand Theft Auto 5 in third and Fallout 4 in fourth place. DOOM is in fifth place while Dishonored 2 hangs out in sixth. Nintendo’s recently released Miitopia on the Nintendo 3DS debuted at seventh place followed by Rugby League Live 4.
