Japan: Super Mario Maker 2 And Nintendo Switch No. 1

The latest Famitsu video game software and hardware charts arrived yesterday and its good news for Nintendo as Super Mario Maker 2 shot straight to no. 1 and the Nintendo Switch continues its reign as the best-selling hardware. Super Mario Maker 2 sales weren’t quite as impressive as some online had anticipated and the Nintendo Switch didn’t receive a massive bump in hardware sales, but as we all know, mobile gaming is king in Japan. Here’s this week’s best-sellers!
