GSD data provides a look at the best-selling games across Europe in May 2024. It’s based on data for all physical game releases in major markets plus digital game sales from most major publishers.
A big release for the month was Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, which lands at #5. If Nintendo shared digital data, there’s a chance it could have charted higher.
GamesIndustry offers up a couple of comparison points. Sales are 8 percent lower compared with the opening two weeks of the Super Mario RPG remake. They were also down 8.5 percent compared to Paper Mario: The Origami King.
The Switch version of Hakuoki: Chronicles of Wind and Blossom now has a release date, and it’s not terribly far off. Eastasiasoft announced today that the port launches on August 1, 2024.

June 17: Another 2D platformer is joining the ranks on Switch with publisher Ratalaika Games and developer Petite Games announcing Pogo Stick Champion for release this week. It’s due out on June 21, 2024.
