With or without Bowsette
It might be a fairly quiet period for gaming in this post-Holiday period, but that sometimes allows for titles that would otherwise have to fight through busier periods to simply saunter into the top spot. Case in point:New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe,which has debuted at Number One in this week’s UK charts.
The Switch re-release of the cutesy Wii U platformer pushed passed bigger titles that have cemented themselves at the top of the charts – such asFIFA 19, Battlefield VandCall of Duty: Black Ops 4 –to bag a week atop the mountain. The Top Ten is looking pretty good for Mario right now, thanks toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateholding on to fifth position and perennial mainstayMario Kart 8 Deluxestill pulling in the sales.
Also of note, after a brief sabbatical, is the inevitable return ofGrand Theft Auto V,which re-debuts at number eight, once again proving itself the game that simply refuses to die, even after the release of Rockstar’s latest epic,Red Dead Redemption 2.
