Nintendo DS Games Reclaim Top Spots In Japan Amid Slow Releases

/DATALINK/ AUTHOR: ALEX_C. | DATE: 28.10.2025

Nintendo’s newest Pokémon spin-off, Pokémon Fushigi no Dungeon: Sora no Tankentai, returns to the top of Japan’s bestseller list after taking a few weeks off. That means a return to Nintendo DS dominance.

The top four bestselling games last week in Japan, via Media Create, were all Nintendo DS games, including the newest WarioWare title and the latest Mario and Luigi role-playing game. A week’s worth of almost no new game releases in Japan means that evergreen titles get a chance to shine, giving titles like Wii Fit an opportunity to pop back into the top ten. In fact, there are no new releases represented on this week’s chart at all, likely a result of Japan’s most recent holidays.

So, yes, this is kind of a boring week. No shame in that.
