Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD Tops Japanese Charts for Third Consecutive Week

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD has topped the weekly charts for physical software sales in Japan for the third consecutive week, as per the latest data released by Famitsu. The HD remaster sold an additional 16,000-plus units, taking its lifetime total in the region to over 138,000 units.

The top 10 also feature a couple of new releases. For starters, there’s the Nintendo Switch port of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, which sold over 14,000 units on debut, slotting in at No. 2 in the charts. Then there’s Bliss Brain’s remastered life sim, Princess Maker 2 Regeneration, which comes in at No. 10 in the charts with only over 3,600 units sold.

Interestingly, every single game in the top 10 is a Switch title- though this hasn’t exactly been an uncommon occurrence in the Japanese charts in recent years.

On the hardware side of things, the Nintendo Switch was once again the best-selling console in Japan last week, having sold an additional 53,000-plus units. The PS5 follows behind in second place by a healthy margin, having sold over 29,000 units over the course of the week.
