Even though it just missed out on the top spot, the delayed physical release of Metroid Prime Remastered has been one of the most successful outings of the series ever.
Launching a month after the game was already available digitally, and with stock shortages, Metroid Prime Remastered came within a thousand copies of dethroning Hogwarts Legacy from the UK number one spot.
Not only that, but it also became the fourth most quickly bought entry in the entire Metroid series and the second highest physical launch of the year, following Hogwarts but preceding Dead Space and Fire Emblem Engage.
This news looks good for Nintendo’s future plans for the series, however, not all the new releases this week had good luck, with Koei Tecmo’s Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty making a lacklustre start at number eight.
