Nintendo’s latest spinoff, Splatoon Raiders, has claimed the number one position in the UK physical gaming charts. The title reached the top spot during its first week of availability, despite having been on sale for only two days when the data was collected.
The strong debut for Splatoon Raiders resulted in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced dropping to second place. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream rounds out the top three, while other notable movements in the charts include Star Fox falling to 15th place.
