Rewritten statement for clarity: The latest chart shows Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced leading UK boxed software sales for the week ending July 18, 2026, with Nintendo titles maintaining significant representation in the upper ranks.
Nintendo's footprint and notable movers
Nintendo accounts for a large share of the list, with Mario Kart World at #6 and other franchise staples such as Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Star Fox and Super Mario titles appearing throughout the top 40.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A rose from #16 last week to #9 this week, one of several notable upward moves.
Tekken 8 and Elden Ring also improved their positions, moving up the chart compared with the prior week.
New or returning entries
Several entries show no prior-week position listed (marked N/A), including Dragon’s Dogma II and Monster Hunter Wilds, which appear on this week's chart without a previous-week ranking.
That designation commonly reflects either new releases or re-entries into the sales ranking.
Market context and looking ahead
The chart indicates a relatively quiet week for new major releases in UK boxed software, but momentum may shift as forthcoming titles — including Splatoon Raiders on Nintendo platforms — approach launch.
Retail and eShop performance will continue to shape rankings through summer, with Nintendo's catalogue performance and major third-party releases driving the weekly lists.
