Summary
Nintendohas provided an updated list of the 10 best-selling Nintendo Switch games, revealing the most popular games on its home console/handheld hybrid. The Nintendo Switch has been an incredible success, becoming the second-best sellingNintendosystem of all time, just behind the DS. A big reason for the Switch’s success has been its strong library of games, with Nintendo having made all 10 games that make up the console’s top 10.
Earlier this year, Nintendo released a list of the10 best-selling Switch games.Mario Kart 8 Deluxeled the pack, followed byAnimal Crossing: New Horizons,Super Smash Bros. Ultimate,The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,Super Mario Odyssey,Pokemon Sword and Shield,Pokemon Scarlet and Violet,Super Mario Party,The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, andNew Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. The new list is identical, but the numbers have changed.
As revealed by Nintendo, the current top 10 best-selling Switch games have remained the same, but all the games have added more sales to their overall numbers. Nearly 2 million more copies ofMario Kart 8 Deluxehave been sold, withPokemon Scarlet and VioletandTears of the Kingdomenjoying sizable jumpsas well, the latter picking up another million sales. While the top 10 list didn’t change too much this time around, it’s quite likely that the next update will be a different story.
Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games
At the rate the games are going, it’s likely thatThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomwill surpassSuper Mario Partywithout too much effort. It will likely get close toBreath of the Wild’s sales numberswhen it’s all said and done, but that remains to be seen. It also wouldn’t be surprising if the next sales report sawNew Super Mario Bros. U Deluxeknocked off the list, as one has to imagine thatSuper Mario Bros. Wonderhas been a big hit for Nintendo.
Super Mario Bros. Wonderhas earned rave reviewsand is the first completely new 2DSuper Mariogame in a decade.New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxewas a port of an existing Wii U game, which may giveSuper Mario Bros. Wonderan advantage. Otherwise, it’s unlikely that the top 10 best-selling Switch games list will change all that much in the years ahead.
