On September 30 prior to this article, Nintendo released its list of the best-selling games for the Switch and 3DS consoles. As usual, the company remains dependent, as it has in recent generations, on titles it released itself. I would simply highlight the strong sales of the Pokémon franchise and the presence of rereleased Wii U titles such as Mario Kart 8 and Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze. This shows that we will probably see other past releases return on its current console.

See the complete list below.
