Last night, Nintendo Japan revealed their eShop statistics for the most downloaded/sold games for the first half of 2022, revealing that Pokémon remains the champion on the Nintendo Switch and that Japanese audiences can’t get enough of the pink blob known as Kirby.
The list comprises of the most downloaded and bought games on the Japanese Nintendo eShop, and only encompasses the first half of 2022. The full list can be found over on Nintendo’s website.
10. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
9. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
8. Monyuu
7. Among Us
6. Overcooked 2
5. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
4. Monster Hunter Rise
3. Nintendo Switch Sports
2. Kirby and the Forgotten Land
1. Pokémon Legends: Arceus
While it’s not surprising that one of the fastest-selling games on the Nintendo Switch, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, is in the top spot after selling more than 12 million copies in the first two months, it is surprising that games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe continue to be in the top of the rankings when so many people already own the games. At least Kirby gets his time to shine.
