Nintendo Reveals The Top 15 Most-Downloaded Switch Games In December 2021 (Europe)

Nintendo has shared an updated list of Europe’s most-downloaded Switch eShop games, revealing which titles were the most popular during December 2021.

Perhaps a result of families getting together over the holidays, Mario Party Superstars has claimed the number one spot for the month. There’s nothing like a good old argument over who’s stealing whose stars and who punched who during that last minigame after Christmas dinner, huh?

This means that last month’s top games, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, have both slipped slightly, the former now in second place and the latter in seventh. Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain, a new Switch exclusive release in December, has debuted in fourth.

You can check out the full list below. It’s based on the number of Nintendo eShop downloads (so no physical sales) in European territories during the whole month:

1. Mario Party Superstars
2. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond
3. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
4. Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain
5. Minecraft
6. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
7. Pokémon Shining Pearl
8. FIFA 22
9. Stardew Valley
10. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
11. Unpacking
12. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
13. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
14. Among Us
15. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
