As 2021 continues to pull us apart and the Switch continues to gain followers, it goes without saying that the most downloaded games of this year made their respective editors’ biggest hits at halftime. Now is the time to nominate and congratulate the Dematrialized Laureates.

Which titles have Japanese players thrown their way to? If you haven’t slept, don’t worry (and by the way, remember to see your insomnia sufferers again): Nintendo has just announced the ranking of the titles preferred by visitors to the eShop in the first half of 2021.
Old villains
With some uncomfortable classics continuing to aid the passage of time without harm, the players of the archipelago also remind us that there is nothing more effective than a family J-RPG to keep you busy during the long months of imprisonment:
- Rise of the Monster Hunters
- Between us
- Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban!
- Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
- Human case flat
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- New Pokémon Snap
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
- Minecraft
- Story of the Seasonal Pioneers of Olive Town
- 51 worldwide games
- The legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild
- Animal Crossing New Horizons
- Overcooked! 2
- Splatoon 2
- Fitness boxing 2 rhythm & exercise
- Super Mario Party
- Runic Factory 5
- Dragon Quest III
- Dragon Quest XI S
