Kirby on top of the Japanese charts
Wii anniversary pack pips Rune Factory to top spot
A 20th anniversary edition of Kirby for the Wii has topped the Japanese chart, pushing the debut of Rune Factory 4 into second place.
The Kirby package features six classic Kirby titles and ten new minigames and sold just over 100,000 copies in its opening week, according to Enterbrain's figures.
The chart is studded with new entries, albeit from largely established IPs, with eight titles from the top ten hitting shelves for the first time last week.
All figures are for the week July 16 - 22 and are courtesy of Enterbrain, via Famitsu and Andriasang.
