In it, Nintendo of America ranked the top Nintendo eShop games based on unit sales in 2019, which includes free-to-play games like Fortnite.

The top 25 games include:

  1. Fortnite
  2. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
  3. Minecraft
  4. Cuphead
  5. Untitled Goose Game
  6. Pokémon Sword
  7. Fire Emblem: Three Houses
  8. NBA 2K19
  9. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
  10. Dragon Ball FighterZ
  11. Pokémon Shield
  12. Super Mario Maker 2
  13. Overcooked 2
  14. Hollow Knight
  15. The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
  16. Luigi’s Mansion 3
  17. Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda
  18. Super Mario Party
  19. Final Fantasy VII
  20. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for Nintendo Switch
  21. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order
  22. Undertale
  23. Crypt of the NecroDancer
  24. Warframe
  25. Mortal Kombat 11

It’s no surprise that Fortnite reigns supreme considering it is not only free-to-play but massively popular and readily available on the go through the Switch. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate should also come as no surprise, sitting in second place.

Elsewhere, Pokémon Sword and Shield are relatively high at 6th and 11th respectively, which is pretty good for games that were only out for one month towards the end of 2019.

There are also a slew of indie games on the list, with Untilted Goose Game squeezing into the top five barely, followed by Cuphead and then Minecraft.
