There is an interesting list here;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Nintendo_Switch_video_games

Nintendo includes sales numbers for their successful games in their financial reports so they are well represented but wikipedia also includes 3rd party figures when the publisher has released the numbers.

The top 5 3rd party titles*:

• Monster Hunter Rise
• Starview Valley
• Sulka Game
• Minecraft
• Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa Mo Teiban!

* I have overlooked titles like Pokemon and Hyrule Warriors as they are published by Nintendo in some regions.

10 years seems a bit short, that would mean Hearthstone, GTA5 and Sims 4 qualify.

Its just a warning, if the game is still active people can still access it.

For live action TV its probably easier to just use retail units but for animation it allows them to use only the aspects they are interested in while not getting bogged down in the realities of the console/controller design or the actual gameplay scenarios.

Of course it also allows for the title to function as a joke too, and makes for a more timeless product than a current year pop culture reference.

IIRC for the N64 controllers the Australian Nintendo Store couldn't keep them stocked for more than an hour every 6 months or so from when to first released in October 2021 to when stock stabilised in June 2023.

From what it hear it was similar on many other regions too, I don't think it had the effect they were hoping for.

Last I heard that the N64 controllers were limited to NSO subscribers. :/

They are just joking about not having friends but the "in the manner it was originally intended" is particularly relevant for dedicated co-op titles.

There a more games released now than ever, there are also more coop campaigns than ever.

This site doesn't seem to let me link to more specific filters but if you set release year to 2024 and choose a specific platform they list 214 PC titles, 128 Switch titles, 124 PS5 titles, and 97 Xbox Series titles from last year !

Edit: its a weird site, it wasn't applying all the filters in the link it generated. So I've simplified the link and summarised the numbers.

These are the guys who released blood dragon classic edition in 2021 with 30fps on PS5 and Series X.

They couldn't be bothered bumping the fps even when porting from PS3 to PS5, or 360 to series. No fucks given.

I was more of an X-Wing fan myself but its a great series!
