The latest Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of April 5, 2026, highlight the enduring dominance of major franchises and the arrival of fresh contenders on Nintendo's flagship digital marketplace.
As the Nintendo Switch 2 continues to thrive, its eShop sales figures offer a clear snapshot of current player preferences and industry trends.
Pokemon Pokopia, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, continues to hold its position as the best-selling title on the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop, maintaining the #1 spot for another consecutive week.
This reflects the enduring popularity of the Pokémon franchise and its ongoing ability to captivate both longtime fans and a new generation of players.
The title’s dominance in the eShop rankings is further complemented by the presence of other Nintendo exclusives in the top 10, showcasing the strength of the company’s first-party offerings on its latest hardware platform.
In an impressive debut, South of Midnight entered the all-games chart at #9, demonstrating significant player interest upon release.
The game also took the top spot on the download-only chart, marking an auspicious start for its developer and indicating robust demand for indie and third-party titles alongside Nintendo’s tentpole releases.
Meanwhile, established hits such as Super Mario Bros.
Wonder Upgrade Pack, Mario Kart World, and Pokemon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition secured the second through fifth positions, underlining the loyalty of the Nintendo fanbase to core franchises.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Monster Hunter Stories 3, and Donkey Kong Bananza rounded out the upper tier, reflecting a strong mix of role-playing, party, and action genres resonating with Switch 2 owners.
Notably, several previously high-ranking download-only games saw declines this week.
Super Meat Boy 3D and Darwin’s Paradox, for example, slid to #17 and #19 respectively in the overall chart after placing in the top ten in previous weeks.
