The Nintendo Switch generation has been massive for the console maker, with many of their first-party titles easily selling in excess of 10 million copies. With the Switch 2 closing in on its 1 year anniversary, Nintendo has shared an updated list of its game sales – confirming that multiple titles are nearing major milestones.

As published to its IR Information page, Nintendo shared updated sales stats for all of its Switch generation games (up until the 31st of March 2026).

In terms of Switch 2 exclusives, there are already a number of big successes, with the most notable being Mario Kart World (currently at 14.7 million copies sold). It is worth stressing that World was offered as part of a launch console bundle and so its numbers are somewhat skewed.

The second best-selling Switch 2 exclusive meanwhile is Donkey Kong Bananza, which has so far sold a total of 4.52 million units. In terms of more recent releases, Pokemon Pokopia has managed to sell-through 4 million copies during its first 5 weeks.

Of course, Nintendo has also released many different Switch 2 Editions of past games, helping to push these last-gen titles to new heights. Some of the biggest in this regard include:

• Animal Crossing: New Horizons (49.91 million)
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (33.84 million)
• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom  (22.56 million)
• Super Mario Party Jamboree (9.96 million)

In case you missed it, Nintendo also shared updated sales stats for its consoles, confirming that the Switch 2 is closing in on 20 million units sold. Full details on the hardware breakdown can be found HERE.

KitGuru says: What do you think of the Switch 2’s first year on the market? Have there been enough exclusives to satisfy your purchase? Will the Switch 2 surpass any of the OG Switch’s records? Let us know down below.

One of Nintendo’s primary strategies with the Switch 2 so far has been to offer upgrades for their last-gen titles – some of which have been free while others cost up to $20 for an upgrade. Sentiment surrounding these Switch 2 editions have been varied, but it appears as though backlash towards their most recent release (Xenoblade Chronicles X) has led Nintendo to begin offering refunds to displeased fans.

In a welcome surprise, Nintendo quietly launched a Switch 2 Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles X last week. Originally released for the Wii U, the title received a relatively basic Switch 1 port quite late into its life and so fans were hoping to see the title get a proper Switch 2 upgrade.

Unfortunately, despite the promise that the title would run at up to 4K60fps on Switch 2 when docked and 1080p 60fps in handheld, many users have expressed their disappointment with the upgrade, comparing it unfavourably to visual clarity achieved when playing the game on a Wii U emulator.

While far from the Switch 2’s most basic Switch 2 Edition, it seems Nintendo might actually be listening to feedback somewhat, with some displeased users claiming that they were able to get refunds after contacting Nintendo support.

Nintendo typically does not offer refunds in this way, and so the fact that users were able to is interesting. Whether the console maker will opt to patch Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch 2 in the future with additional enhancements however, we will have to wait and see – but don’t expect anything substantial if it does happen.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition launched last year on the Nintendo Switch, finally allowing players to experience one of Monolith Soft’s most unique entries on modern hardware. While that version was a significant visual step up from the Wii U original, it notably lacked 60 FPS gameplay, despite a high framerate mode being discovered hidden deep within its files. As many speculated at the time, that discovery was clearly groundwork for the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, which officially launched digitally worldwide today. Announced via a new launch trailer, this updated version brings 4K resolution support in Docked mode and 60 […]
