Thanks to today's Jnancial earnings release, in which

Nintendo revealed that the Switch has now surpassed
GBA hardware sales, we now have an updated list of
the Switch's best-selling titles.

For a long time Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has reigned

supreme at the top of this list, and amazingly it's still
doing so. In fact, over the past three months it's
extended its lead over the strong challenge of Animal
Crossing: New Horizons. Clearly a number of new
Switch owners are still considering the kart racer to be
a must have.

Beyond that there are some top-notch titles, as you'd

expect of a best-selling list like this, with New Super
Mario Bros. U Deluxe deserving of a hat-tip for getting
past the 10 million mark over the last 3 months.

Note that this data only includes Nintendo-published

titles, and shows lifetime sales:

Top Ten Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games (as of

31st March 2021):

1. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - 35.39 million

2. Animal Crossing: New Horizons - 32.63 million
3. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - 23.84 million
4. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild -
22.28 million
5. Pokémon Sword and Shield - 21.10 million
6. Super Mario Odyssey - 20.83 million
7. Super Mario Party - 14.79 million

million
