Japanese Charts: Mario Party Jamboree Is The Star Player, Once Again
Gold rush
by Jim Norman · Nintendo LifeWe're back with another look at the Japanese charts courtesy of Famitsu, and while you might think last week's deluge of new releases could trouble the two-time champ, you'd be wrong.
Super Mario Party Jamboree has claimed the top spot for the third week in a row, nabbing a further 57,522 copies. Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven on Switch lands the silver once again, and the absence of as many newbies means that select Switch classics like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Animal Crossing: New Horizons have re-entered the fray.
The only new release this week is Marvelous' anime action/farming RPG Farmagia, which just about breaks into the top ten with its 4,296 copies sold.

Still very little change on the hardware front. The Switch OLED remains way ahead of the competition, with the Lite model following a good way behind. The recently-introduced Xbox Series X - Digital Edition has put up somewhat better numbers than its pitiful performance last week, but it's still not enough to even remotely challenge the top five.
Here's your look at this week's Japanese hardware chart in full.

| 1 | Switch OLED | 39,849 | 8,132,144 |
