List of best-selling Nintendo Switch video games

This is a list of video games for the Nintendo Switch video game console that have sold or shipped at least one million copies. As Nintendo shares the sales of their video games every quarter while most other publishers do not share sales figures per console, this list consists mostly of Nintendo-published titles. Nintendo Switch, a hybrid home console and handheld device, launched worldwide on March 3, 2017. By the end of 2017, it had outsold the lifetime sales of Wii U, its home console predecessor. In September 2019, Nintendo launched the Nintendo Switch Lite, a handheld-only version of the system. By the end of 2020, total Nintendo Switch family units had outsold the lifetime sales of the Nintendo 3DS, its handheld console predecessor, by selling nearly 80 million units. As of September 30, 2025, 154.01 million Nintendo Switch consoles had been shipped, with over 1.45279 billion copies of games having been shipped for the platform. The three best-selling games on the platform have been Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at 69.56 million units sold, Animal Crossing: New Horizons at 48.62 million units, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at 36.93 million units. The three best-selling franchises on the platform have been Mario at 268.39 million units sold, Pokémon at 108.70 million units, and The Legend of Zelda at 74.19 million units. Other major selling franchises include Splatoon which sold 25.56 million units and Kirby which sold 13.36 million units.
