For Nintendo fans and industry professionals alike, the release of the updated Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of December 14, 2025, provides a comprehensive view of evolving player preferences and the marketplace's competitive landscape.

As the successor to the record-breaking Nintendo Switch, the Switch 2 has rapidly become the platform of choice for both classic franchises and groundbreaking new releases.

This week's charts reveal that "Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" maintains its dominance in the All Games category, holding fast at the coveted #1 position.

Developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo, "Metroid Prime 4: Beyond" continues to build on the franchise's legacy, blending innovative gameplay and engaging storytelling—a testament to its sustained popularity among both long-standing fans and newcomers. In a notable development for new and returning titles, "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition" debuted in the top five, reflecting enduring demand for Bethesda's iconic open-world RPG on Nintendo hardware.

The game's strong entry in both the combined and download-only categories highlights the ongoing appeal of high-profile multiplatform franchises on the Switch 2 eShop. The top ten also features iconic properties such as "Pokemon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition," "Kirby Air Riders," and "Marvel Cosmic Invasion," alongside blockbuster titles like "Octopath Traveler 0" and "Assassin’s Creed Shadows." Long-running Nintendo favorites like "Mario Kart World" and "Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment" continue to capture player attention, reinforcing the depth and variety available through the platform. A representative for Nintendo commented on the ongoing success, noting that the consistent placement of first-party titles and major third-party releases in the eShop rankings demonstrates the strengths of the platform’s broader ecosystem.

The spokesperson underlined that, "sustained sales of franchise titles and the steady introduction of acclaimed new releases remain foundational to the Switch 2's market leadership." In the download-only segment, "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition" secured the top spot, followed closely by "Marvel Cosmic Invasion," "Hades 2," and "Red Dead Redemption." The downloadable offerings reflect the diversity of content on the eShop, with indie titles like "Hollow Knight: Silksong" and experimental releases such as "Ultimate Sheep Raccoon" making the top ten. The Nintendo Switch 2 officially launched earlier in 2025, bringing upgraded hardware and enhanced online services to fans worldwide.

Since launch, it has boasted robust support from both major publishers and the indie development community—contributing to an extensive eShop library that continues to grow week after week.

Throughout 2025, Nintendo has released software milestones including "Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition," "Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition," and additional upgrade packs for series like Pokémon and The Legend of Zelda. For those looking to keep pace with fast-changing trends in digital game distribution, the eShop charts for the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 offer invaluable insights.
