Mario Golf: Super Rush enjoys second week at UK number one – Games charts 3 July

Still top of the leaderboard (pic: Nintendo)

The most movement in the UK top 10 this week is from Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, as Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance stumbles.

Mario Golf: Super Rush is number one for the second time in a row, in a top 10 with no genuine new entries. Super Rush saw a 51% drop in sales in its second week, a solid hold compared to the norm.

The most interesting placement is Zelda: Breath Of The Wild at number 10, which rises up the chart solely on the back of its sequel’s appearance at E3 – since Nintendo games are almost never discounted.

The only new release of the week is Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance at number 23. However, since the game is on Game Pass sales for the Xbox version account for just 4% of the overall retail total.
