Japanese Charts: Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD Vacuums Up The Competition In Its Debut Week
Image: Nintendo LifeIt’s time for another look at the Japanese physical charts courtesy of Famitsu and, surprising nobody, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD has scared off all other options in its debut week.
Nintendo’s latest remaster comes out on top of the pile this time, with a tasty 88,425 copies sold. Its predecessor, Luigi’s Mansion 3, also returns to the top ten, landing in seventh place with an additional 4,438 sales in the last week.
Elsewhere, Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe continue to show their longevity as they stop last week’s champion, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Edition, from grabbing a spot on the podium. And after a strong start, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance has dropped out of the top ten completely.
