Super Mario Galaxy 2 has made a strong start in Japan, comfortably topping the software chart during the week ended May 30.

With less than a quarter of Galaxy 2’s sales, Super Robot Wars OG Saga for DS was a new entry in second place, as was Let’s Make A Pro Soccer Club for Nintendo’s handheld in third.
Medarot DS debuted in fourth, ahead of former chart topper Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2, according to sales tracker Media Create (via El33tonline).
