Eight of the ten top-selling games were on Nintendo's handheld
Nintendo's Kirby: Triple Deluxe was the only new release to make the Japanese top 10 last week, and it went straight in at number one.
Triple Deluxe, the first Kirby release for the 3DS, sold 214,000 units in its first week on sale - a solid return on a platform that is the dominant force in Japanese retail. The top five best-selling games in Japan last week were all 3DS titles, with a further seven scattered across the remainder of the top twenty.
