Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has been considered among the best games of its kind for years, and demand for a remake of the RPG has been high for quite long as well. It’s no surprise, then, that ahead of its Switch remake’s looming launch, the game is already attracting quite a bit of people, as evidenced by how it’s performing on Amazon’s sales charts.
For instance, it’s currently the best-selling game on Amazon US. Though the video games category does have other things placed above the remake in the charts (gift cards for digital stores, Fortnite, and Roblox), Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is the highest-placed game on the charts.
Interestingly enough, a number of games following it are also first-party Nintendo titles, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD (which launches in June), and Princess Peach: Showtime! (which is due out later this month).
On Amazon UK, meanwhile, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is the second-highest placed game on the charts, behind only EA Sports FC 24. Clearly, there’s no shortage of excitement surrounding the RPG remake.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is due out on May 23 for the Nintendo Switch.

We've had a fair number of exciting new game releases lately, and they've all had a moment to shin in the UK's physical games chart. This time, though, it's the turn of South Park: Snow Day, which makes a perhaps surprising debut at number three. It's behind usual hits EA Sports FC 24 and Hogwarts Legacy, with the PS5 version the most popular.
It sounds like Dragon's Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin — both released on Friday of last week — have struggled to make an immediate impact in the UK. While we don't have the full sales charts just yet, GamesIndustry.biz's ever-knowledgeable Christopher Dring has outlined the relative success of the new releases, and it's fair to say that neither game has done well. At least, not at retail.
Close to a colossal 4,000 PS5 and PS4 games are on sale in Sony’s epic Spring Sale, which is rolling out at the time of writing and scheduled to run through 24th April.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has launched PlayStation Store’s Spring Sale.
Last week was packed with a number of notable new video game releases, though as per the latest weekly physical sales data released by the Gfk for the UK (shared by GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring on Twitter), none of the new releases were actually the region’s best-selling game last week. EA Sports FC 24 took the No. 1 spot, with Dragon’s Dogma 2 coming in at second place.

The CRKD Nitro Deck made some big plays into the Switch controller market when it launched last year. As someone who's always struggled to stay comfy with the Nintendo Switch's smaller size, I was really content with the Nitro Deck's chunkier build and futureproofed design.
