Japanese Charts: Ring Fit Adventure Regains Control In A Familiar Top Ten

Famitsu’s Japanese chart figures are now in for the week ending 5th September, revealing that Ring Fit Adventure has once again found itself at the top of the pile.

Nintendo’s fitness RPG managed to (very) narrowly outsell Mario Kart 8 Deluxe this week to claim that top prize – the two were separated by just 18 physical sales for the period. The rest of the top ten consists of some very familiar names, including the likes of Minecraft which sits comfortably in third spot.

Here are the top ten (first numbers are this week’s estimated sales, followed by total sales):

1. [NSW] Ring Fit Adventure (Nintendo, 10/18/19) – 15,610 (2,804,231)
