Warioware: Get It Together, the most recent spin-off for Nintendo’s own anti-hero, is currently partying at the top of the UK games charts.
The numbers are in for this week’s UK video games charts and it seems that Nintendo’s latest is doing some decent numbers. The brand new party game to feature Wario and friends hit the Nintendo Switch on 10 September and has managed to hop straight into the top of the UK video games charts. Warioware: Get It Together is the 9th Warioware title. After the series debuted on the Game Boy Advance back in 2003, Nintendo console owners have come to expect the range of high energy multiplayer battles that pit friends against each other to perform a range of outlandish objectives.
Warioware isn’t the only game to launch straight into the top of the UK charts today, however. Bandai Namco’s Tales of Arise, Bandai Namco’s shiny new JRPG also followed Wareoware: Get It Together into the top of the UK charts this week. Sitting up at position 2, the tales of arise arrived on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms this week, while Warioware is the usual Nintendo exclusive. This adventure builds on the long line of Tales role-playing games from Bandai, featuring the series’ Linear Motion Battle concepts, and following the fates of two protagonists caught between a pair of distinctly different warring kingdoms.

Following on from these two impressive starts, both 2K’s NBA 2k22 and Square Enix’s Life Is Strange: True Colors both entered the charts for the first time this week. 2K22 slid in at spot 3, behind Warioware and Tales of Arise, while Life is Strange: True Colors breaks up the pack with 6th place. Between sporting achievements and narrative coming of age tales, the rest of the chart entries are the same usual suspects with four additional Nintendo titles and the largely reliable GTA V taking a bit of a tumble.
It’s been something of a busy week for big-budget releases with box sales of video games seeing some significant changes. If you’re still on the fence about the UK’s number 1 this week then you could do worse than checking out the free Wariowre: Get it Together demo over on the Nintendo eShop.
