The final Japanese charts for 2023 are now in from Famitsu (via Gematsu) and show that in the final two weeks of the year, Super Mario Bros. Wonder managed to hold onto the top spot.

The plumber's latest adventure managed to shift another 221,738 units between 18th-31st December 2023, putting it comfortably ahead of the Japan-exclusive Momotaro Dentetsu World: Chikyuu wa Kibou de Mawatteru!, which took the silver.

Elsewhere, Nintendo dominated the competition with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 being the only non-Switch title to land a top ten spot. Pikmin 4 continues to show its longevity, landing third place with another 78,589 copies sold and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet just makes the ranking — although that total is looking incredibly high these days!
