UK Charts: Princess Peach: Showtime Can’t Usurp EA From Its Throne
Image: Nintendo LifeIt’s a fairly busy week for the UK boxed charts, with several new entries making it into the top ten. First up, of course, is Princess Peach: Showtime! coming in at number three. A respectable debut, to be sure, though it wasn’t enough to beat EA Sports FC 24 at number one and Capcom’s new action RPG Dragon’s Dogma II at number two.
The other newcomers are Rise of the Ronin at number five and Alone in the Dark at number six. Overall, considering how long FC 24 has been available at this point, it seems a shame that none of the newcomers could knock it off its perch. Maybe next time, eh?
Other notable changes this week include the complete absence of Unicorn Overlord along with Mario vs. Donkey Kong tumbling down to number twenty-nine. Meanwhile, It Takes Two has seen a healthy boost in sales and rises up to number twelve, while Final Fantasy fever has seemingly gripped Switch owners to bring Final Fantasy VII & Final Fantasy VIII Remastered – Twin Pack back into the top ten.
Here’s your look at this week’s top 40 in full, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles alongside the Switch:
