After just hitting the shelves, Metroid: Samus Returns manages to make it into the top 10 releases for the week ending 16th September. It stood at 8th on the list, an impressive feat for having only been on the market for its second day when the totals were counted. It’s also the highest selling Nintendo release for the week, though NBA 2K18 is higher on the list but is digital only, so isn’t counted as a Nintendo release for these charts.
This no doubt signals that the series is not dead just yet.
