The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending November 22, 2025 is now available.
The big news here is the debut of Kirby Air Riders, which actually missed out on the top ten. You’ll find it this week down at #12. Kirby Air Ride on GameCube wasn’t a massive seller back in the day, so this may not come as a huge surprise.
Worth noting, Mario Kart World is still trucking along. This one actually moved up a spot from #3 to #2.
Here’s the full UK software sales chart for the week ending November 22, 2025:

Every Pokemon generation gimmick ranked, from Z-Moves to Mega Evolution
Posted on 3 days ago by Ethan in 3DS, Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Since the release of Pokemon X and Y in 2013, new games in the series have had a battle “gimmick” of some sort to keep things fresh. It all started with Mega Evolution in X and Y, which was then expanded upon in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Then we got Z-Moves in Pokemon Sun and Moon, followed by Dynamax and Gigantamax in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Then we’ve got Terastallization in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and that’s where we’re at right now. We’re almost certain to see another new gimmick introduced in the tenth generation of Pokemon, which is getting closer and closer by the day given that Scarlet and Violet released three years ago already. So today, we’re taking a look at all of these battle gimmicks and ranking them from best to least best. None of the gimmicks are outright terrible – they’re all inspired and thematically appropriate for their regions, but some are certainly better than others.
