Nintendo Switch 2 sales remain high, as confirmed by the results of games for the new platform. Nintendo projects occupy the top lines of the ratings, demonstrating that Switch 2 has quickly become a key console in the market. Players are actively buying both new releases and proven series.
This is clearly visible in the latest Famitsu report, which presents sales statistics for games in Japan for the past week. The list includes both the biggest hits and less obvious projects that resonated with local gamers. Here is the current top ten:

First place is once again taken by Mario Kart World, confirming its status as one of Nintendo's strongest series. It is noteworthy that there is only one new release in the top ten — in the last position. This shows the stability of market leaders and the fact that there have been few fresh premieres recently.
