GOOD TO KNOW!

🏆 Most downloaded Nintendo eShop games in 2024

Do you also like looking at top lists? In the Simon Carless “The GameDiscoverCo Newsletter” (the largest game dev newsletter) some data on the eShop was summarized.

The list shows the top 20 games on the Nintendo eShop based on the number of downloads, not on sales. Hogwarts Legacy costs 5x as much as Stardew Valley so we assume the sales will be more.

Reply to the email and let us know if the list completely surprised you or not 😋.
