Nintendo Reveals List of the 10 Best-Selling Switch Games

Nintendo has revealed the updated list of the best-selling Nintendo Switch games of all time. The Nintendo Switch is on its way to becoming the best-selling Nintendo console ever, within striking distance of the DS. A big reason why the Switch has been such a monumental success is because of its massive library of high-quality games.

Since the Nintendo Switch launched in 2017, Nintendo and third-party partners have released all kinds of Switch games to a great deal of commercial and critical success. The console has truly built one of the most impressive libraries in the history of the industry, with Nintendo updating everyone on its best-performing titles ever quarter.

Unsurprisingly, the latest update to Nintendo’s list of best-selling Switch games is unchanged when it comes to the order, though every game in the top 10 has shipped more units. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains the best-selling Switch game by a significant margin at 68.86 million units sold, while Animal Crossing: New Horizons maintains second place with 48.19 million. Rounding out the top five are Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at 36.55 million units and Super Mario Odyssey at 29.50 million units.

At this stage in the game, it seems unlikely that the top 10 is going to change all that much, but it is possible that New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe will eventually get knocked off. After all, Super Mario Party Jamboree is considered one of the best games in series history, and so one has to imagine that it will eventually surpass Super Mario Party, which is currently ahead of NSMBU Deluxe. With the Switch 2 now out, though, it’s possible that most Nintendo fans will be focusing on that console’s lineup of exclusive games.

Once enough Switch 2 exclusives have been released, it will be very interesting to see what games prove to be the most popular on the platform. Mario Kart World is comfortably in first place with 5.62 million units sold, but Donkey Kong Bananza will most likely make the list as well. There have yet to be any brand-new Zelda or Mario games released for the Switch 2 yet, but when they do eventually launch, one has to wonder how their sales will stack up compared to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
