Here’s This Week’s Japanese Charts

It is that time of the week again when we find out which software and hardware performed the best in Japan, courtesy of the team over at Media Create. It’s been a busy week for new releases with Yo-Kai Watch 3: Sukiyaki comfortably taking the number one spot knocking Pokemon Sun & Moon from the top of the charts. Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS also seems to be performing well, possibly because of the knock on effect of the popular mobile title Super Mario Run. Here’s the best-selling software and hardware this week.
