FIFA 10 has unsurprisingly entered the UK charts at No. 1, taking out Halo 3: ODST which lands at number three. The top three is topped off with Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box at number two.

The launch of the most recent FIFA is now also the second biggest launch in the UK, only behind Grand Theft Auto IV in April 2008. It’s also the most successful launch of a FIFA ever.

Catch the full charts below. Last week’s data is here.

Nintendo Europe has announced that the sequel to the seminal Professor Layton and the Curious Village dubbed, ‘Pandora’s Box’ will be released for DS and DSi on September 25 in Europe.

There’ll be over 150 new puzzles to scratch your forehead to, plus the weekly downloadable ones as with the first game.

The US gets the game on August 24 and Japan…well, it got The Diabolical Box (as the adventure puzzler’s known as over there) back in November 2007: so move along, nothing to see here.

The tenth annual Japan Expo is happening now through July 5 in Paris and Nintendo has a stand at the event.

Those attending will get hands-on time with Muramasa: Demon Blade, Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box, Super Mario Bros Wii, and Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

If you are in Paris, or plan on jaunting over for the weekend, head over to the Villepinte Exposition Center and check out over 100 exhibitors featuring everything from traditional Japanese fans and kimonos to the latest in Japanese cinema, manga and technology.

Thanks, GoNintendo.
