The Famitsu charts have revealed that once again the Nintendo Switch family of systems remains king in Japan, shifting an impressive 89,104 units for the week of 15th March – 21st March. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is No.1 and the entire top ten this week consists of Switch games. Next week’s charts should be interesting as Monster Hunter Rise will be available on Friday and should give the Switch a big boost. Check out the latest Famitsu charts below!
