Japan charts: Super Mario Party Jamboree defends first place (week 44/2024) – ntower

Once again we welcome you to the Japan Charts, where we regularly take a look at what’s going on in the Japanese video game market. Today we’re talking about the period from October 28th to November 3rd. On the software side, we see a handful of new releases like Farmagia and Life is Strange: Double Exposure, but they don’t exactly shine with a strong debut. Super Mario Party Jamboree, on the other hand, is at number one for the third week in a row, but how long can this winning streak last? Here you can see the whole list:
