Japanese Charts: A Quiet Week Sees Japanese Visual Novel Grab The Gold

It really feels like game sales are crawling towards the 5th June Switch 2 release date at the moment, but Famitsu has given us an updated look at the Japanese charts, and despite sluggish numbers all around, there are a couple of newbies this week.

The Japanese visual novel OVER REQUIEMZ has walked away with the win in its debut week, selling an impressive 7,286 copies to even out-muscle the powerhouse of Super Mario Party Jamboree. Hello Kitty Island Adventure has also popped up this week, with its new ‘Deluxe Edition’ physical release shifting 3,838 copies and cementing it in seventh place.

Elsewhere, it’s business as usual. Monster Hunter Wilds is the only non-Switch title to land a spot in the top 10, and Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is still hanging on to a chart position after slipping to eighth.

For the full breakdown, here’s a look at the latest top ten:

If you check out the Japanese charts every week, the hardware numbers will come as no surprise. In fact, the order has remained exactly the same as we last saw it. The three Switch SKUs continue to hold a commanding lead with a combined 25,408 sales, while the PS5 units follow behind on a 7,497 total.

It’ll be interesting to see where the original Switch sits once June rolls around, huh?
