We have a fender book of a Japanese charts to share with we this week, as Media Create sales for a final week of 2018 and initial week of 2019 are now in.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is consistently knocking it out of a park, remaining on tip mark each week in a segment ever given it expelled only over a month ago. Go Vacation, Diablo III: Eternal Collection, and Mario Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey also launched in Japan over a final integrate of weeks with varying levels of success – we’ve already discussed Mario Luigi’s unsatisfactory start. Twice, in fact.
