UK Charts: Mario Wonder And Sonic Superstars Start Strong, But Neither Can Out-Swing Spidey

The latest UK charts are now in and it is a big week at the top of the table for new releases (surprising nobody).

This was always going to be a battle between the boys in red and it is the hero of the friendly-neighbourhood variety that has come out on top this week as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 thwips into first place. This is not to put down Super Mario Bros. Wonder, of course, which jumped into second and (according to GameIndustry.biz’s Chris Dring) has bagged itself the third-largest launch for a Mario platformer in chart history — not bad going, eh?

Last week’s other biggie, Sonic Superstars, has also performed well in its first chart appearance, speeding into fourth while EA Sports FC 24 has somehow defied the week’s big releases to still nestle itself into the bronze medal spot.

Elsewhere, it is pretty much business as usual. Nintendo Switch Sports rejoins the top ten after a brief stint in the 20s, and last week’s newbie, Lords of the Fallen, has, fittingly, fallen from fourth down to 18th.

Anyway, shall we take a look at this week’s UK top 40 in full? Oh, go on then…
