WarioWare Gold Just Squeezes Into UK Top 40 As Crash Bandicoot's Chart Supremacy Continues Nintendo Life The UK is still loving Crash by Share: Showing absolutely no signs of slowing down, has kept hold of its number one chart position in the UK for a fifth consecutive week. It was a quieter-than-usual week in the UK gaming retail space this week, with a lack of truly major new releases or huge physical sales - like which were heavily affected by Amazon Prime Day - to play any huge impact on the final table.

He’d much rather just have a night in with Mario Kart and a pizza, and we can’t say we blame him. Comments ) Why are there so few reviews for warioware? Sadly, the continued decline of the 3DS has led to a poor debut for WarioWare Gold.

We don't currently know how it's selling in North America, but if reception has been similar, i really hope Nintendo identifies waning interest in the 3DS as the culprit here and not consumer interest in the WarioWare series. Chibi-Robo's death was hard enough :[ Well done crash I think I'm going to have to pick up Warioware.

Can’t believe it was really enjoying octopath but then got side tracked with crystal We didn't get code until VERY late week. Which is perhaps why it did so badly in the UK charts - no reviews, no one realised it was out!

Perfectly illustrating why these games should be coming out on Switch Go Vacation sold better than I expected - more than WarioWare, at least. I suspect that the game will have decent legs. Great Mario Kart 8 DX and Mario Tennis Aces sales.

With the shortage of new 3ds games you would think it would have done a lot better. Maybe gamers don't play the 3ds if they have a Switch or maybe Wario is not the big seller. This is probably all the 3DS will get now, along with the Luigi's Mansion port and the Bowser's Inside Story remake.

They're repurposing existing games to add a few last titles for the 3DS library. With Wario Ware Gold's underwhelming sales though, I can see them trying it again with the Switch. After all, it can do nearly everything required for Mash, Touch, and Twist gameplay.

I guess I should pick up sometime this week, as will probably be a rare game. a few reviews only appeared online in the last 24 hours but there were outlets that did have reviews out sooner. Game Informer, GameXplain and Miketendo64.

Nintendo’s Core 3DS audience nowadays (young kids) probably don’t remember the last time a WW game was released. It does look like a good game (I’ll probably pick it up on sale) and I hope Nintendo doesn’t abandon the series just because of poor sales. Theres a new Nightclub DLC thing released for it recently.

You're delusional. what you mean?

I'll likely get it at the end of the year. I'll use the holiday to round out my 3ds collection before I'm done buying for the system. Nintendo (and especially their fanboys) can't accept that the 3DS is really a dead system, that only got popular in 2016 because of the Pokemon halo.

Once that wore off, and Switch came out, the market is showing there's really no interest in 3DS. The games are where Nintendo makes their money, yet lying Reggie, and gullible fanboys, keep saying how "well" 3DS is doing, because of hardware sales, which are skewed too, because of how many models and special editions are bought up by collectors and scalpers. The true install base of 3DS is massively low (proven by the horrible attach rate), not to mention that financially the 3DS dropped like 80% in revenue- what that means is that compared to this time last year, it's only making about 20% of what it made during the same time period.
