Famitsu is back with our latest look at the physical software sales chart for Japan, and it's another week in the top spot for Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.

Square Enix's latest pulled in an additional 91,362 copies between Switch and PS5 this week, which is far from its debut's 821,770 total, but it's still enough to keep the Nintendo version in pole position. Meanwhile, the PS5 edition slips to third after another strong week from Super Mario Party Jamboree.

A fair few newbies populate the rest of the chart this week, with physical editions of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection and Stray sneaking into the top ten. Japan's Disney rhythm game, Disney Music Parade: Encore also lands in fifth with 9,260 sales in its first week.
