Pok Mon Legends Arceus Is Uk S Fourth Biggest Boxed Pok Mon Launch Ever

Indeed, Legends: Arceus shifted more boxed copies in the UK than last year’s pair of remakes, and is now the fourth-biggest boxed Pokémon launch in the UK of all time - behind Sun/Moon, Sword/Shield and Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby. When you look at Pokémon games not launched as part of a pair, Legends: Arceus is the biggest ever release - a record previously held since 2000 by Pokémon Yellow on Game Boy (thanks, GamesIndustry.biz). As ever, these are GfK chart figures which do not include digital sales - and Nintendo does not disclose weekly download figures. “Inspired as much by Pokémon Go as it is Breath of the Wild, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is flimsy and compulsive - and exhilaratingly new,” Chris Tapsell wrote in Eurogamer’s Pokémon Legends Arceus review. Elsewhere in last week’s chart, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection arrived in fifth place. Maximum Games’ Rugby 22 arrived in 33rd.
