Nintendo revealed the top 30 most downloaded Nintendo Switch games on the eShop in Japan for the entire year of 2021. This data does not include the sales of physical copies.
The rankings for the year overall isn’t much different from the data that was released for the first half of the year; Capcom’s Monster Hunter Rise continues to hold the top spot, with the sussy juggernaut Among Us following right behind. The biggest surprise comes from the November release of PokĂ©mon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, coming in to catch the third and fifth positions, sandwiching the Japanese exclusive Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban.Â
