Combined sales put it just behind Mario Kart World.

Famitsu has published the latest boxed charts from Japan and, as seems to be the norm at the moment, there are a couple of newcomers to take note of this week.

This one comes from JobJobLLC, the team behind the Zelda-inspired culinary venture ‘The Legend’s Cookbook‘, and ‘Brawl in the Family‘ artist Matthew Taranto.
