Nintendo Switch 2 Top eShop Sellers: Zelda Upgrades Dominate

24 hours after Nintendo Switch 2's launch, let's examine the eShop bestsellers — revealing surprising insights about those controversial Zelda upgrades.

Dominating the Switch 2 eShop charts is Mario Kart World — the flagship launch title bundled with many console purchases. This predictable top-seller benefits from digital redemption codes included in physical bundles.

The surprise second-place entry goes to Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition. CD Projekt Red's acclaimed RPG, previously unavailable on Nintendo platforms, finds immediate success on Switch 2 — a testament to the console's improved performance capabilities. Developers recently revealed their optimization secrets in an exclusive IGN interview.

Claiming third spot is Nintendo's controversial Switch 2 Welcome Tour — a $10 collection of tech demos and mini-games that critics argue should have been free. While offering decent introductory value, it requires additional peripherals for full functionality.

Fourth place belongs to Fast Fusion, Shin'en Multimedia's spiritual successor to F-Zero. This unexpected hit fills Nintendo's racing void perfectly, continuing the studio's tradition of sci-fi racers debuting alongside new Nintendo hardware.

The fifth spot reveals consumer acceptance of paid upgrades — despite criticism — via The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's $10 enhancement pack. Its strong performance validates Nintendo's premium upgrade strategy, even offering basic visual improvements available gratis elsewhere.

Rounding out the top ten: Deltarune's new chapters at sixth, Breath of the Wild's upgrade pack at seventh, Fantasy Life i at eighth, Bravely Default's HD remaster at ninth, with Yakuza 0 and Street Fighter 6 completing the upper tier.

Further down, premium Switch 2 editions of Zelda titles frame Hitman: World of Assassination, while Hogwarts Legacy's enhanced port demonstrates continued demand for the wizarding RPG — also offering upgrade paths for original Switch owners.
