The latest UK Charts are in, and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD maintains its position at number 3, signalling a strong performance from the remaster despite some reservations regarding its price.

In fact, 8 of the top 10 this week are made up of games available on Switch, with only Grand Theft Auto V (shock) and Elden Ring representing competing platforms. Granted, physical sales aren't what they used to be, and we'd need a view of digital sales to get a complete picture of what's going on in the world of game sales right now, but it's still nice to see as the Switch winds down to make way for its successor.

Elsewhere, rather surprisingly, Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain has made its way back into the top 40 to land at number 39. The game originally launched at the end of 2021 and isn't generally known to be a consistent seller, but we'll take it.

Perhaps more surprisingly, however, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader saw a massive boost in sales to see itself at position 18, with the Switch version making up 95% of the platform split. Phew!

With a name like Hogwarts Legacy and the sales numbers, I really thought we would be seeing dlcs and expansions for it.
