As the second half of 2021 begins to take shape and games such as Skyward Sword HD and Mario Golf Super Rush release this summer, this list is bound to change dramatically. Especially when the DIamond and Pearl remakes come out, and definitely if Breath of the Wild 2 releases this year, which we should find out in less than a week at E3 2021. Regardless, Nintendo’s domination in Japan will not change anytime soon.
