After it was #2 last week, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition slips to #13 – this is expected given the history of RPGs that follow a similar pattern. That means Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which was #7 previously and holds on to that spot, returns as the top Nintendo Switch exclusive. Also worth mentioning that the Hello Kitty Island Adventure physical release debuts at #10.
