Sakurai's ambitious 3DS title impressively stands toe-to-toe with multiformat big names...

The UK isn't exactly known as a Nintendo heartland, but the chaps back at Kyoto will surely be pleased to learn that Kid Icarus: Uprising has made an impressive debut in the country.

The official data from Chart-Track places the 3DS-exclusive at 7th on the All Formats chart for the week ending March 24th.

1. Fifa Street (EA)
2. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (Capcom)
3. Mass Effect 3 (EA)
4. Fifa 12 (EA)
5. SSX (EA)
6. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (Activision)
7. Kid Icarus: Uprising (Nintendo)
8. Battlefield 3 (EA)
9. F1 2011 (Codemasters)
10. Mario & Sonic at the 2012 London Olympic Games (SEGA)

It's a mighty feat for a single-platform game to be mixing it with the big guns, especially after a distinct lack of mainstream marketing in the west. The game reached number 6 in the Individual Formats chart.
