\"Splatoon<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life<\/p>\n

We are back with our latest look at the UK physical gaming charts, and Splatoon Raiders<\/a> has come out of the gate strong.<\/p>\n

Nintendo’s latest spinoff has nabbed the top spot in its first week, kicking the previous champ, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced<\/a> down into second \u2014 not bad going for a game that had only been on sale for two days by the time the numbers were taken!<\/p>\n

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream<\/a> takes the last podium spot, as Star Fox<\/a> drops down to 15th, and yep, Rhythm Heaven Groove<\/a> has gone MIA again, presumably due to more physical distribution issues.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full top 40, with platform breakdowns for games available on Switch, Switch 2, and other consoles:<\/p>\n
