Nintendo has provided a fiscal update, detailing both results and forecasts for its investors. Among that is an update to their list of Top-Selling Titles for Nintendo Switch, where plenty of familiar games are still going strong, and one 2021 contender has made its presence known.
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 43.35 million
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons – 37.62 million
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – 27.40 million
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 25.80 million
- Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield – 23.90 million
- Super Mario Odyssey – 23.02 million
- Super Mario Party – 17.39 million
- Pokémon: Let’s Go! Pikachu and Eevee – 14.33 million
- Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl – 13.97 million
- Ring Fit Adventure – 13.53 million
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl made the biggest impact last year, having just been released in November and still coming in as the ninth best-selling game for the system. With Pokémon Legends: Arceus now on the scene, it wouldn’t be surprising to see nearly half of this list composed of Pokémon titles in the future.
Still, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains untouchable at the top. Animal Crossing: New Horizons has also carved its place at second by a sizable margin, before the numbers get a little tighter together.
Nintendo’s not slowing down, with the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild no doubt in a prime position to climb this chart once it releases (hopefully) in 2022.

When he isn’t writing for Nintendo Wire, Ricky’s anticipating the next Kirby, Fire Emblem, or if the stars ever align, Mother 3 to be released. Till then he’ll have the warm comfort of Super Smash Bros. to keep him going.
