It has been a good year for the Nintendo Switch. The hybrid console received critically acclaimed exclusives like Pikmin 4, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Super Mario RPG (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-super-mario-rpg-switch/). Recently, Nintendo revealed the top 30 most downloaded games on Japan's eShop in 2023 (https://www.nintendo.co.jp/software/feature/ranking.html).
The list doesn't come with too many surprises, although if you haven't been paying attention, it may be unexpected to see Pikmin 4 clinching third place. It didn't cause too much of a splash in the West, but Famitsu lists reveal that it has been selling well in Japan (https://www.destructoid.com/pikmin-4-has-been-quietly-dominating-japans-sales-charts/). It may also be a shock to see that Tears of the Kingdom isn't in the number one spot and sits in second place instead.
That's because Suika Game takes first place, a game that has accumulated over 5 million downloads worldwide (https://gonintendo.com/contents/30105-suika-game-hits-5-million-sold-worldwide). The whole top 30 list looks like this:
Suika Game
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Pikmin 4
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Splatoon 3
Overcooked 2
Super Mario RPG
Fire Emblem Engage

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Pok?mon Violet

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

Momotaro Dentetsu World: Chikyuu wa Kibou de Mawatteru
Pikmin 2
Pok?mon Scarlet
Nintendo Switch Sports
Pikmin 1
Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban
The usual suspects also make an appearance. Pokemon has Pokemon Violet at number thirteen while Scarlet sits at number twenty-seven. The indomitable Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sits in sixth place and Super Mario Bros. Wonder appears nearby in fourth place.
Next year has the potential to be another phenomenal year for Nintendo. Princess Peach: Showtime! (https://www.destructoid.com/princess-peach-showtimes-box-art-updated-with-new-look/) arrives in March, and you can also look forward to Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (https://www.destructoid.com/tomb-raider-i-ii-iii-remastered-coming-to-nintendo-switch/) and Mario vs. Donkey Kong.
