The latest Famitsu charts are in and, as expected, it’s another strong week for the Switch, with only Powerful Pro Baseball 2024-2025 representing a competing console in the software top ten.

There are two newcomers this week, too, with One Piece Odyssey entering the charts at in second place – not to be sniffed at – while The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II just about makes it onto the podium at number nine.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD sees another slight drop, as does the recently released Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, both bowing down to the unending power of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Total Switch sales across all three SKUs is 57,133, while the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition total 25,795; quite a hefty gap, indeed.
