Nintendo has just published its latest financial statement and one of its biggest highlights is seeing the overall sales data of the company’s most popular games. And here there are no newcomers or big surprises.

Once again, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is on top – will it ever be? – 45.33 million units have been sold since its launch. This is likely to continue to grow with the expansion of the Booster Course Pass. Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are still in second and third place with 38.64 million units sold and 28.17 units respectively. It looks like very little will catch up with Mario Kart or Animal Crossing with over 10 million sales difference between Ultimate in third place and the fluffy life simulator.

Otherwise, everything is quite similar to the last time. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl continued to dominate and is now ahead of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! & Let’s go, Ivy! to be Pokémon’s second best-selling Switch game.
