The Nintendo Switch eShop sales through January 30 have been released. Among Us retains its dominance, with Scott Pilgrim vs. The World coming in second; Minecraft coming in third; Mario Kart 8 Deluxe coming in fourth; and Animal Crossing: New Horizons rounding out the top five. What’s interesting is that, again, there aren’t many new first-party Nintendo Switch titles on the top 30 chart. Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Mario 3D All-Stars are the only games that came out last year from Nintendo that are on the list; Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity didn’t even make it despite its success. Nintendo has such a deep catalogue of first-party and third-party games though that charts will fluctuate. Last year wasn’t a particularly deep year for Nintendo. Also, keep in mind, these are only digital sales; most sales are physical, presumably. Here are the top 30 Nintendo Switch eShop sales through January 30.

What will be truly interesting is how this year’s new additions perform, and what Nintendo has in store for us, given that it’s both Pokemon’s 25th anniversary and Zelda’s 35th anniversary.
