All Switch, All Day
It’s been on the shelves for over a year, butAnimal Crossing: New Horizonscontinues to invite new residents onto its islands. This week, the Switch social sim found its way back to the top spot of the UK Charts, usurping Electronic Arts’ soccer simFIFA 21, which now sits at number two.
In terms of the UK’s physical sales, it remains The Nintendo Show.Mario Kart 8 Deluxepulls in at number three, while the remasteredSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Furysits just behind at number four. The Switch edition ofMinecraftand newly released adventureMonster Hunter Riseare at five and six respectively, whileRing Fit Adventureis still toning tummies at number nine. The remaining three spots are taken up by AAA mainstaysGrand Theft Auto V,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, andAssassin’s Creed Valhalla.
As we push into mid-April, the shelves remain relatively bare, with only Housemarque’sReturnal, Nintendo’sNew Pokemon Snap, and Square Enix’sNieR Replicantlikely to shake up the physical sales scene, if only temporarily. For the near future, it appears the UK Charts will remain a testament to the mainstream appeal of the Switch platform.
