Nintendo presents the current top 10 best-selling Nintendo games for Switch

With June 30, 2022, Nintendo has closed another fiscal quarter, and as always, there’s also a look at the best-selling first-party games for Nintendo Switch – and something more.

For example, we learn that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe again sold 1.48 million copies in the past quarter. Figures that many a game dreams of – a lifetime. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe reaches it in three months, years after its release. The game, of course, remains at the top of the top 10.

1. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 46.82 million
2. Animal Crossing: New Horizons – 39.38 million
3. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – 28.82 million
4. Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 27.14 million
5. Pokémon Sword and Shield – 24.50 million
6. Super Mario Odyssey – 23.93 million
7. Super Mario Party – 18.06 million
8. Pokémon Sinnoh Remakes – 14.79 Million
9. Pokemon Let’s Go – 14.66 million
10. Ring Fit Adventure – 14.54 million

There are no position changes compared to the last quarter. Pokémon Sword and Shield can’t get past Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The Sinnoh remakes and Let’s Go nibble at 15 million copies each.

So far good. More of a surprise: Pokémon legends Arceus still aren’t part of the top 10 this quarter. When will the Ring Fit Adventure catch up?

Because first-party titles sell so well that even the most popular new releases often don’t get recorded right away, Nintendo, as always, has released a few songs as well:

1. Nintendo Switch Sports – 4.84 million
2. Kirby and the Forgotten Land – 4.53 million
3. Mario Strikers: Battle League Football – 1.91 Million

The Kirby songs in particular manage to impress. According to Nintendo, it is the fastest-selling Kirby in the history of the series. And probably the best-selling soon. Only Kirby’s Dream Land is ahead of Kirby and the Forgotten Land with 5.13 million.
