Hyrule Warriors Storms to No. 1 on Japan’s Sales Chart

Nintendo Switch 2 sales are climbing, and the pace at which games are moving off shelves suggests interest in the new system won’t fade anytime soon. Recent releases are rapidly rising to the top, while the Japanese market is giving the console a solid position in an especially busy season.

This is reflected in the latest Famitsu rankings for the past week, which show the current standings on Japan’s charts. The list includes both new launches and titles that have been holding steady for months.

1. [NS2] Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment – 73,183 
2. [NS] Pokemon Legends: Z-A – 54,904 (total: 1,205,487)
3. [NS2] Mario Kart World – 54,413 (total: 2,071,827)
4. [NS] Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake – 32,682 (total: 264,932)
5. [NS2] Pokemon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition – 29,662 (total: 750,484)
6. [NS2] Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake – 13,011 (total: 97,467)
7. [PS5] Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake – 10,261 (total: 107,073)
8. [NS2] Donkey Kong Bananza – 8,378 (total: 371,140)

10. [NS2] Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV – 5,356 (total: 75,139)

The biggest shift this week is a change at the top. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment launched directly to number one, underscoring strong consumer interest and demonstrating that The Legend of Zelda brand can still claim the summit of the charts in any form.
