Monster Hunter Rise Is The Best Selling Nintendo Switch Game Of 2021 So Far

The Nintendo Switch hasn’t yet arrived at a bombastic period that can match 2017 with the release of a variety of massive exclusive games, but this year at least fans will still be presented with several new titles that have achieved high success. One of them is Monster Hunter Rise, which turns out to be holding the position as the best-selling Nintendo Switch game of 2021 so far. This achievement is not surprising, because the game itself has managed to break the five million copy mark in just one week.

The results of these achievements were reported directly by Nintendo, who were later quoted by the media 4Gamers. Based on the information obtained, they have listed the 30 best-selling Nintendo Switch game titles over the last half year. It’s just that the data he shares does not provide information about sales figures and this is also limited to the Japanese region, so other countries may have different results. Here are 10 games that managed to occupy the top selling positions:

1.) Monster Hunter Rise
2.) Among Us
3.) Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban!
4.) Super Mario World 3D + Bowser’s Fury
5.) Human: Fall Flat
6.) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
7.) New Pokemon Snap
8.) Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
9.) Minecraft
10.) Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town

The list above has caught our attention, especially from Among Us, which turns out to be very popular in Japan. Apart from the global trend of the game, this may also be influenced by the Japanese VTubers who played it while it was trending. As usual, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is still a favorite game even after so many years since its release. The results above will definitely change at the end of the year, especially with the release of Metroid Dread which will definitely reach a record high.
