Nintendo Switch 2 Exclusive Mario Kart World Holds Strong in Latest UK Sales Charts
For the week ending November 29, 2025, the UK software sales chart has revealed a strong continued presence by Nintendo titles, particularly on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Mario Kart World, the highly acclaimed exclusive from Nintendo, maintains its impressive momentum by holding firm at the second position.
The title stands as the top Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive performance of the week and underscores Nintendo’s sustained relevance and strength in the competitive UK gaming market. In the current chart, EA SPORTS FC 26 from Electronic Arts remains solidly at number one, while Mario Kart World follows as a steadfast runner-up.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 from Activision Blizzard also keeps its spot at number three, demonstrating persistent sales across multiple platforms.
Meanwhile, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, another high-profile Nintendo Switch 2 entry developed and published by Nintendo, climbs to the fifth position from last week’s number five, showcasing upward momentum and strong player engagement. Elsewhere among Nintendo’s noteworthy performances, Donkey Kong Bananza continues to generate buzz for the Nintendo Switch 2, currently securing the eighth spot on the chart.
Classic and party titles are also holding their own, with Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Super Mario Party Jamboree maintaining positions within the top forty.
These enduring titles highlight the robust afterlife of quality Nintendo catalog releases and Nintendo’s effective utilization of the eShop to drive sales over time. Notably absent from this week’s top forty is Kirby Air Riders, which has dropped out after recent appearances.
Such shifts underscore the dynamic and highly competitive nature of the UK market, particularly as new releases and high-profile franchises continue to vie for players’ attention. A representative from Nintendo UK summarized the company’s approach, stating that a diverse portfolio and ongoing software support for Nintendo Switch 2 is integral for sustained engagement.
This echoes Nintendo's ongoing strategy to blend major new releases with strong legacy support, aiming to offer compelling experiences for a broad range of players. The broader chart landscape features strong performances from major industry publishers, including Bandai Namco’s Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition at number six, Warner Bros.
Interactive’s Hogwarts Legacy at seven, and Ubisoft’s latest edition of Just Dance at nine.
These results highlight the continued cross-platform appeal of blockbuster franchises alongside the signature presence of Nintendo’s exclusive software. As the holiday shopping season intensifies, Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives like Mario Kart World and Pokémon Legends: Z-A remain central to Nintendo’s retail strategy and appeal to UK gamers.
With a balanced mix of evergreen titles and fresh releases, Nintendo demonstrates adaptability in a fast-evolving industry, retaining its legacy while welcoming new audiences on its latest hardware generation.
