Just one day before launch, NIS America has cancelled the release of the standard edition of Penny-Punching Princess in the UK. The publisher says that they discovered that “the orders for this title would not be able to be fulfilled by their proper release date” and thus they decided to cancel the game’s physical release in the UK entirely.

If you live in the UK, your only option for a physical copy of the game is the Limited Edition, which is available exclusively on the NIS America online store. Otherwise, you will have to buy the game digitally. Note that all of this only applies to the UK – the physical release of the game in other regions has not been affected.

Head past the break to read NIS America’s statement on the matter in full:

Kirby Star Allies

Kirby Star Allies was released last week and it seems like the game is off to a good start, sales-wise. It debuted at #2 in the UK sales charts, which makes it the fastest-selling Kirby game in UK history. Previously, the two fastest-selling Kirby games were Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot on the 3DS.

A new round of data is in from the UK that shows the top 20 best-selling games for 2017.

Before getting into the actual chart, we’ll point out a couple of things. First, thanks to Switch, video game pricing rose last year by 2.5% to £33.47. Additionally, 16% of all boxed games were sold on Nintendo platforms.

We have the full chart below. Note that unlike most companies, digital sales for Nintendo titles are not included in the total.
