Warcats

Nintendo shared a list of best-selling games from the switchch at the Shop in Japan throughout 2019.

You can see the full list below, and while it contains some of the biggest names you'd expect to see, the best-selling game of the year is one that many western fans may have heard about. Nyanko Daisensou – or Wars of War – Japan's most successful series. It's actually a tower defense game that sees you sending an army of middle-aged cats to defeat your enemies successfully, but also Pokémon-like as twisted as your cats may appear when they reach a certain level.
