UK Software Sales Chart Highlights: Mario Kart World and Super Mario Galaxy Lead Nintendo Switch Titles

The UK software sales chart for the week ending October 11, 2025, has been released, providing insight into the current landscape of game sales across major platforms, with a notable presence of Nintendo Switch titles.

This weekly ranking—closely watched by industry analysts and fans alike—highlights not only blockbuster launches, but also the enduring strength of established franchises from publishers including Nintendo, Bandai Namco Entertainment, and Electronic Arts. Leading Nintendo’s charge this week is Mario Kart World, which secured the #4 spot on the chart.

Continuing the legacy of one of the most successful racing game franchises, Mario Kart World’s consistent performance reflects the popularity of the series on the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo’s family-friendly titles continue to resonate with UK audiences, demonstrating strong hardware and software synergy for the Switch platform in 2025. Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, a highly-acclaimed collection that brings two of the Wii’s most beloved platformers to the Nintendo Switch, slightly shifted from #3 to #5.

This strong showing underlines the ongoing appeal of classic Mario titles, revitalized through Nintendo’s commitment to delivering legacy content to new and existing Switch players via the Nintendo eShop and major retailers. Debuting this week is Little Nightmares 3 from Bandai Namco Entertainment, which entered the chart at #6.

The atmospheric, suspense-driven platformer has received significant attention since its announcement in previous Nintendo Direct presentations.

Bandai Namco’s third installment in the Little Nightmares franchise continues the series’ tradition of delivering haunting visuals and engaging gameplay, now reaching a broader audience on the Nintendo Switch and other platforms. Further down the chart, other Nintendo Switch favorites maintained strong positions.

Minecraft climbed to #7, Donkey Kong Bananza held steady at #8, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe made an impressive jump to #9.

Newer releases like Super Mario Party Jamboree and Nintendo Switch Sports also secured positions within the top 20, showcasing the platform’s diverse and expansive catalogue. Commenting on the company’s sustained momentum, a Nintendo spokesperson emphasized the publisher’s dedication to delivering quality experiences: “We are proud to see multiple Nintendo Switch titles ranking highly in the UK charts, reflecting the ongoing enthusiasm for our games among players of all ages.” The top overall spot for the week went to Electronic Arts’ Battlefield 6, while EA Sports FC 26 and Ghost of Yotei rounded out the top three.

Nintendo’s presence within the top ten, however, remains significant, highlighting the Switch’s lasting appeal nearly a decade after launch. With continued support through new releases and enhanced legacy collections, Nintendo Switch remains a central platform in the UK gaming scene.

As the industry approaches the holiday season, all eyes will be on Nintendo as it sustains its formidable lineup and prepares for upcoming Nintendo Direct announcements and software launches.
