The UK sales charts this week have revealed a piece of positive news for Kirby Star Allies’ launch in the United Kingdom.

Kirby Star Allies, which launched last Friday (March 16, 2018) on Nintendo Switch, debuted on the No. 2 spot on the UK charts.

According to GamesIndustry, Kirby Star Allies is currently the fastest selling Kirby video game released at retail in history, beating previous record holders Kirby Triple Deluxe and Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Possible reasons why the game has done so well include high demand for Nintendo Switch games, and the gradual growth in Kirby’s popularity.
