Because Splatoon 3 is so well-known throughout the nation, its ranking as the number one game probably does not come as much of a surprise. In addition to Monster Hunter Rise, the other four spots on this list are taken up by Pokémon video games. Other significant entries include Kirby and the Forgotten Land, which came in at number six, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3, which came in at number ten.
