UK Charts: Yoshi’s New Island Hurled Back Slightly, Sits At 16

This week’s UK charts are now in courtesy of GFK chart-track. Yoshi’s New Island takes a small hit and slides down into 16th place from 10th last week. Though Baby Mario lets out six squeaky cries, Yoshi’s managed to soothe his wounds a little, much to the happiness of Nintendo.  But at the top of the board, PlayStation 4’s Infamous: Second Son takes the crown over newcomer Metal Gear Solid V, while last week’s number one Titanfall slips into third.

However, Pokemon Y is the only other Nintendo game standing in the individual top 40 other than Yoshi this week. Maybe Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright can spark more fuel onto the 3DS train next week. You can check out the individual top 40 below.

  1. Don't reply to this or you are feeding the troll

    I told you Nintendrones Nintendo is doomed. Even the 3DS, the ‘savior’ for Nintendo this generation, is selling like shit. And do I really need to mention the crap Wii U sales…

    1. Why is it that whenever a Nintendo product isn’t doing well someone says “I told you that (insert random Nintendo product) wasn’t the savior!?” Nintendo fans never thought Yoshis New Island was a “savior.”

      If anything is Nintendo’s savior it is MK8 and SSB4 and nothing more.

          1. Haha haha haha haha dude sony is the one who has problems, not Nintendo and not Microsoft. ….but keep doing what you do, and keep dreaming, Nintendo firstparty games are going no where! !!

          2. Actually R.I.P. Sony, then Mircosoft. So then I can be butthurt for the rest of my existence crying like a little bitch in a corner because its all on Wii U.

      1. Sasori Obinna Onuorah

        Lmfao my hurt is so bad right now that I’m now shoving snicker bars up my ass and soon my dry butthole will become the milky way.

    1. Trolling Bureau Of Investigations

      We have a 217.
      Attempt at trolling. Suspect is fail. Extraction is requested, send back up.

  2. Don’t why people are buying ground zero, itvcan be beatn within a hour or less then ten minutes. I’m sure the gameplay is good but 30-40$ for a demo…mo

    1. Don’t why people are buying Wiiu’s that shit got no game and is weak as fuck LoLolOLOLOLOLOL
      #NintendoMad
      #JAJAJAJAJ

      1. I find it sad ur laughing at someone’s struggles get a life won’t u, it starting to get really sad for u. good luck with life sir

      2. If it’s week then please provide evidence. Do you know anything about its hardware?….no? Thought not.

  3. I bought MGS and I like it. I already have 2 hours of gameplay and im not finish with the main mission. Im new to mgs never played any of the games.

    1. Mgs On Wiiu=Nintendrones wouldn´t by that shitz yo they only love rubbish Shovelwaregames LolOlOOooololooool

      1. you do know nintendo has enough money to last till 2052 right? Even if the wii u fails they aren’t going anywhere, if u do research sony is the one in trouble

  4. Ahhhh see, the trolls are pathetic, like I said before, one little itty bitty piece of bad news for Nintendo, and they are all over it. Ooooooh but heaven forbids if the PS4 gets bad news, you all deny it with you’re lives…PAA HA HA HA HAHAHAHA, Looks like Shokio planned his attack right on time. Enjoy you’re “trololololololol-ing” for a bit longer. *walks off*

  5. So if the 360 gets Metal Gear, GTAV and Dark Souls 2, we KNOW those games will run on WiiU.

    Damn. We are marooned from software. :(

    1. I’m seriously considering a PS3 or 360. I’m not spending $4-$500 on another next Gen console when all the games I pretty much want to play are out on the PS3 and 360. Time to go shopping for deals!

    2. I just don’t the like the fact MGSGZ is selling well, it sends a message to other devs that they can do this kinda stuff to their fans, by offering demo for outrageous money. Hell capcom priced dead rising case zero for 5$ and it lasted for about 8 hours

  7. I’ve been playing Yoshi New Island on my Yoshi 32 XL LE exclusive. You jealous? ! :D

    It’s a great game! Great game play, graphics, mini games between levels. My wife and i trade the cartridge which I bought from gamefly for $24. She had the Animal Crossing 32 XL LE and just sell the old ones on ebay. We make $95,000 a year in Texas, so it’s easy to spend money.

    ^Nintendo gamers doing it right, right here! !! :D

    Also been playing Pikmin 3 bingo battle, Animal Crossing NL, and Ocarina 3D. Almost to the end, so fun!

    1. causal gamer confirmed. “My wife and i trade the cartridge which I bought from gamefly for $24. She had the Animal Crossing 32 XL LE and just sell the old ones on ebay. We make $95,000 a year in Texas”. i my not have a wife or girl friend but this one has a nintendrone family. i feel sorry your kid will be playing kiddy nintendo games instead of manly games like battlefield, halo and assassin creed. lol

      1. Sasori Obinna Onuorah

        I am a faggot. It is confirmed, because I love all those big black dildos up my ass to multiply my butthurt and be the biggest faggot I can be and suck everyone’s dick in this thread, even Nintendo Commander’s because I am a low-life inferior dipshit what a cactus stuck up my ass and I’m bleeding with so much butthurt that I now made male period possible.

  8. Last I checked on Gamefly user ratings, 6 or 7 of the top 10 new games are Nintendo exclusives. Mario 3D World, Animal Crossing, Pikmin 3, Pokemon, Zelda Link Between Worlds, Windwaker HD. Can’t wait for Smash and Mario Kart! Til then it’s Luigis Mansion and 3D Land and World on 3DS and Wii U!

  9. When u look at those user ratings and see the facts, and see how the anti Nintendo Media got it all wrong. Nintendo still doing outstanding.

  10. Do you know what I am finding really really funny and very ironic.

    People say that Wii U is dead and all this, that and the other, but the bigger picture is, it’s still selling at the moment. Yes the pace might be slow, but any console will slow down for a bit.

    I’ve checked PS4 and X1 sales and to be honest, they’re not much better either. Also I know of very few games out for those consoles right now.

    And those saying Wii U is not powerful, well it’s actually very powerful, and can easily output the same visual level of the other consoles.

    Just stating the facts.

      1. Well for a starter the CPU in Wii U is twice the strength of X1 and PS4’s CPU.

        1 core of Espresso has the same power as 2 cores of x86, and it’s got a much higher IPC. Each core can output up to 3 instructions per clock using superscalar architecture, an as there is little latency, data exchange between the chips increases. Also it’s got a 4 stage pipeline, so the codes get executed really quick, especially since it’s got out of order execution – therefore the code is executed very fast – efficiency.

        The GPGPU might not look much and it might only have 2Gb of RAM, with 1Gb for games only, but there is a huge amount of eDRAM on the GPGPU which renders the games in 1080p natively, and the eDRAM can has got a max clock rate of 563.20GBs so that’s faster than the GDDR5 RAM in PS4.

        It’s a very powerful console and games can look very good if they’re designed correctly and the game engines take advantage of the hardware, otherwise you get laggy games.

        Need I explain anymore?

          1. When you read about consoles and learn about the hardware, the stories we hear are turned upside down. It’s only because developers don’t want to learn the console because Espresso is 3 PowerPC cores clocked at 1.24ghz. Don’t think “That seems to be slow” truth is, that’s what it’s meant to look like, but the clock speed doesn’t tell you everything. The hardware can do quite a lot in the clock speeds, so in this day and age it’s more about what a console can do rather than the the given clock speed.

            This time round Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo have gone for what’s known as a GPGPU setup. What this means is that the hardware can does exactly what it needs to do. The GPGPU actually takes workload from the CPU so that allows for everything to be processeda. Lot more efficiently. Also all the audio is put to the GPGPU as there is what’s known as a DSP (digital signal processor) sitting directly clocked at 120Mhz. So when you think about it, Wii U is very strong in terms of raw horsepower. It just takes for a developer to crack the power open and experiment.

            It’s that very reason no one is doing anything with it. Especially with PowerPC, it’s a type of core in which you need to know what you’re doing as it speeds everything up. With x86 the code just runs as it it’s been designed for a PC (in essence that’s what X1 and PS4 are).

            So Wii U is actually the power house. Did you know that Project CARS for Wii U runs on a single core as it’s that powerful. Meaning that the other consoles need 2 cores to make it work. It’s that powerful.

          1. That comment is flawed in every way possible.

            1) Wii U is a next gen console. I believe the console you are referring to is Wii, which was a last gen console.

            2) You would be amazed what PowerPC can achieve. It’s far more efficient than x86 – and that’s a fact.

            3) X1 and PS4 are struggling to handle 1080p yet alone 1440p, so that was a stupid thing to say.

            4) Developers need to learn to go into the eDRAM as they will not only get better performance, but the game will play far better. Also PS3 and 360 (I know they’re last gen), but they only had 512Mb of RAM, so you’re talking crap there.

            You don’t understand hardware in the slightest detail.

    1. Oooohh The Console Kiddos are fighting over plastic again U guys Need to grow up and Buy Pc Bigger deal Than DoA shit consoles that can barley keep up with the real Next gen ;) #JustStatingTheFacts.

  11. Uk software chart = ridiculous

    36. (31) [360] Aliens: Colonial Marines

    Wii U – Donkey kong country tropical freeze ????????? is less beautiful?

    ironic.

  12. Top 20 on UK charts? I dont about you all but thats a good thing, its not a victory but its not bad concidering the usual suspects that top the UK chart.

  13. uhhhh just 2 nintendo games.
    i hope mk8 can fixed it for the U.
    the 3ds is selling in japan and america verry well…
    the vita is nowhere.
    die vita is sonys Wii U in the handheld market and the Wii U is nintendos vita in the stationary market.

  14. The fact that Aliens Colonial Marines is on this list makes me think that all British gamers are complete dudebro dumbasses.

    Well at least Infamous is up top, you know, a GOOD game.

  15. this is what we get if poeple KEEP SAYING that rated E games are “kiddy”,when really they are(as the name implies) for everyone.
