Mario and Zelda back on the rise
With Christmas shopping well underway, the UK charts is getting quite the weekly shake-up, even if the top slots do appear to be permanent fixtures.
Activision’s military shooterCall of Duty: WWIIremains firmly in the number slot, still backed up byFIFA 18andStar Wars: Battlefront II, which has climbed a slot from last week. In good news for Nintendo,Super Mario Odysseyhas also stepped up another couple of slots, just pipping Ubisoft’sAssassin’s Creed: Origins.
As we approach the latter part of the Top Ten, we see the terribleWWE 2K18make an appearance, probably due to its recent Switch port, which is supposedly a mess.LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2has also re-entered the Top Ten, LEGO games being a popular seller most yuletide seasons.
Further down the charts, re-entries have been made by multipleMinecrafttitles, as well asDOOM, Preyand evenMario Kart 7.Zelda: Breath of the Wildalso received a huge boost in sales, moving up from number 29 to number 17.
