In the past month Nintendo has had a few fresh releases scrapping away in the UK charts, but going into this week's results only one title is left standing.
Yo-kai Watch is the lone release on Nintendo hardware that's made the top 40, now in its third week since release in the UK. It's dropped another seven places to finished in 32nd in the all-format results, so may be a candidate to drop out entirely next week.
Moving on to charts for Nintendo's systems, the Wii U line-up shows that Star Fox Zero is losing steam already in the UK. The Wii U top five is as follows:
Next week's results should be interesting from a Nintendo perspective - they'll include the launch of Fire Emblem Fates, which broke franchise records and performed well in the US earlier in the year.

I'm interested to see how Fates will fare, especially as it's a more unknown franchise in the UK than the US.
Fates should do well, given how loved Awakening was and he series' tradition of the price of second hand copies always either remaining the same or rising up dramatically....
Yo-Kai is really good, I was surprised how much I ended up liking the game. the art direction is fantastic and the city you explore is huge.
kind of slightly off topic but how likely is it that we'll get Yokai Watch 2? I'm not even gonna ask about 3 because I'm guessing that's close to 0 unless they port it to the NX
Fates in first....hahahha in my dreams only.
Doesn't it say a lot that years old Wii U titles can outsell a new game that's out less than a month. Those games above it can't be selling much so God only knows what SFZ's numbers are at. And in the real UK Top 40 charts it only lasted a couple of weeks before forever disappearing.
Awakening was 3rd in the chart 3 years ago, but we don't really know numbers so Fates could chart lower but have sold more.
UK stop having garbage taste and buy more Nintendo games geez...
FE Fates is unlikely to chart too high as Special edition, Conquest and Birthright will almost certainly be classed as separate games.
Chart-track might surprise us by combining the SKU but given they don't for Pokemon it is unlikely.
