The company issued a statement on Twitter addressing the problem and apologized for the inconvenience caused. Nintendo is aware the problem and anyone can get their issue resolved by heading over to . However, some people who bought the physical copy received a defective code for the first game due to incorrect printing. If someone bought a physical copy of Bayonetta 2, then they can also make use of a download code for the first game that comes with it. The Secret of Mana re-release for PlayStation 4 landed down in 24th place, while Monster Energy Supercross swerved to 25th.The first two Bayonetta games were released for the Nintendo Switch only recently. Other new entries in the chart included Kingdom Come Deliverance, in at second place behind FIFA 18, and Dynasty Warriors 9 in 13th place.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Bayonetta series' biggest physical launch to date remains the original Bayonetta's 2010 arrival for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, in the prime of both console's life.

Bayonetta 2's physical edition still requires you to download Bayonetta 1 (you only get a download code). It's likely a higher percentage of Switch sales came via downloads, which UK numbers company Chart-Track does not track.

Digital Foundry last week examined whether this new Switch edition was the definitive version.

The Platinum-developed Bayonetta 2 (which includes a copy of Bayo 1) landed fifth in the UK chart - the game's highest chart placing to date, albeit one achieved with fewer physical sales. Bayonetta 2 sold fewer physical copies at launch for Nintendo Switch this week than it did when it arrived on Wii U.
