Luigi’s Mansion 3 has had a very impressive debut indeed in the UK as it enters the number two spot on the chart data for the week ending 2nd November. The Nintendo title performed its triumph mostly down to going on sale 24 hours longer than Super Mario Maker 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, as it launched to coincide with Halloween on Thursday, rather than the traditional Friday release, but this doesn’t take away from the fact that the game is a lot of fun to play.
This news is an incredible pat on the back for Nintendo given how popular Super Mario Maker 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is but Nintendo had a strong belief that Luigi’s Mansion 3 would do well on the Switch, also coupled with the title receiving headline billing during E3 this year. The titles opening sales are 140% higher than that of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon which doesn’t even include digital sales due to Nintendo not sharing digital figures. Luigi’s Mansion 3 can, for now, soak up their success and enjoy it while it lasts as Pokémon Sword and Shield is set to arrive on November 15 which will probably see Luigi get pushed down the charts.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare jumped in to steal the number one slot with sales down just 49% from its launch week which is an impressive second week for the popular shooter. The Outer Worlds slides to number five after sitting on the number four spot last week and Medievil just about grabs the 10th position which still secures it in the UK top 10 charts for now.
Here is the UKIE Top Ten for the week ending November 2:
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
- Luigi’s Mansion 3
- FIFA 20
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- The Outer Worlds
- Ghost Recon: Breakpoint
- Ring Fit Adventure
- Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville
- GTA5
- Medievil
