The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending September 28, 2024 is now available, and it includes the debut for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
The Switch exclusive came in at #2 for its first appearance – and remember, Nintendo does not report digital sales. Compared to the Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake, sales were 14 percent lower. Again, this is strictly based on physical sales.
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom wasn’t the only new game on the UK sales char this week. Unsurprisingly, EA Sports FC 25 comes in at #2. Epic Mickey: Rebrushed also seemingly did well, appearing at #4 (platform breakdown was Switch at 48 percent, PS5 at 43 percent, Xbox at 8 percent, and PC at 1 percent).
Here’s the full UK software sales chart for the week ending September 28, 2024:
[Review] Bloomtown: A Different Story

System: Switch
Release date: September 24, 2024

The feeling of déjà vu is not an uncommon one to experience when playing a game, particularly with indies, which have often drawn their inspiration from more successful and well-established franchises to create their own take on the formula. It’s not inherently a bad thing, but it was a feeling that I often had whilst I was playing Bloomtown: A Different Story. Despite a few questionable deviations here and there, it delivers an experience that at least matches its inspirations for enthusiasm and spirit, if not entirely in terms of satisfaction and enjoyment.
