Nintendo released its quarterly report this morning, highlighting the success of its Switch family of consoles and the latest financials. At the same time, sales information for many games has been updated. Key releases continue to gain the attention of new audiences even years after release.

In the ranking of the main hits published by Nintendo on Switch, the number one blockbuster remains Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – sales of the racing monster reached 37.08 million copies as of June 30, 2021 (if we count sales with the version for Wii U, then they passed the value 45 million ).
