The latest Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of November 30, 2025, have been released, showcasing a significant shift at the top of Nintendo’s digital storefront.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond — Nintendo’s highly anticipated sequel in the acclaimed Metroid franchise — has surged to the number one position on the eShop thanks to robust pre-load activity, dethroning Kirby Air Riders, which previously held the top spot. Developed by Retro Studios, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has been generating excitement across the Nintendo community ahead of its official release.
The pre-load option, which allows users to purchase and download the game before its launch, has empowered fans to secure their copy early.
As a result, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has ascended to the pinnacle of the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts, surpassing popular mainstays such as Kirby Air Riders, Pokémon Legends: Z-A (Nintendo Switch 2 Edition), and Donkey Kong Bananza. A representative from Nintendo commented in a prepared statement that fan anticipation for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has been 'exceptional,' with pre-load numbers exceeding projections and firmly establishing the title as a digital bestseller even before its official debut.
This continued success reaffirms the lasting popularity of the Metroid series, first launched on the Famicom Disk System in 1986 and revitalized repeatedly through innovative gameplay on successive Nintendo platforms. Other notable entries on the top 10 all-games eShop chart for Nintendo Switch 2 include Super Mario Party Jamboree (Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV), Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Madden NFL 26, Mario Kart World, and Hades 2.
Additionally, Octopath Traveler 0 by Square Enix made a strong debut, appearing twice within the top ten through both its Digital Deluxe Edition and standard versions, following the opening of pre-loads. Within the download-only segment, Supergiant Games’ Hades 2 took the lead, with Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight: Silksong (Nintendo Switch 2 Edition) holding prominent positions.
The digital sales strength of both new releases and enhanced editions for Nintendo Switch 2 demonstrates the platform’s robust performance and the enduring appeal of classic franchises alongside fresh IPs. These weekly eShop rankings, updated regularly by Nintendo, offer a lens into current consumer interest and digital sales momentum across a diverse software library.
As the holiday season approaches, competition among first-party titles and third-party releases is expected to intensify, with Metroid Prime 4: Beyond setting a high bar for digital pre-release demand on Nintendo Switch 2.
Gamers and industry watchers alike can continue to monitor Nintendo eShop chart movements for ongoing trends and future release impacts.
