Every Thursday we share the weekly Famitsu sales charts, which tracks physical boxed game sales and hardware sales in Japan. This week’s chart covers April 8 – 14, as a new otome game (a romance game aimed at the female audience) has managed to take the top spot in a relatively slow week for the Famitsu sales chart. Whilst details available in English are sparse, the game ‘Utakata no Uchronia‘ which roughly translates to “Foamy Uchronia“, tells the story of a coming-of-age girl named Hinagiku yearning to explore new horizons, all set in a magical floating garden. It’s also the developer’s first #1 game, which is surely cause for celebration!
Elsewhere on the charts it’s a pretty familiar story, as a bunch of evergreen titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Bros. Wonder float around having sold well for yet another week. The newly released Princess Peach: Showtime fell to third place from being in first for the past three weeks, and Rise of the Ronin also takes a tumble down to #6 from #3 with its PS5 release.
