Nintendo's latest eShop charts have been released for the week of February 14, 2026, offering a clear snapshot of player favorites on the Nintendo Switch platform.
The digital storefront continues to reflect current trends in gaming, showcasing both enduring hits and breakout successes.
For long-term enthusiasts and industry analysts, these figures highlight the persistent popularity of certain franchises—while also signaling compelling movements atop the sales rankings. One of the headlines this week is the resurgence of 'Pokémon Legends: Z-A.' Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, the game has returned to the #1 position on the overall eShop charts, displacing perennial leader 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons,' which, after a lengthy run at the summit, has shifted to fifth place.
This upward movement marks a significant achievement for 'Pokémon Legends: Z-A,' reaffirming its appeal among Switch users months after its original launch. The top slots are dominated by well-established Nintendo Switch staples, with 'Super Smash Bros.
Ultimate' and 'Mario Kart 8 Deluxe' maintaining second and third positions, respectively.
Notably, the compilation 'Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2' sits at number four, underlining the ongoing demand for classic and remastered Mario experiences on the Switch.
Rounding out the top ten are titles that span diverse genres and fan bases, including 'Minecraft,' 'Super Mario Party Jamboree,' 'Super Mario Bros.
Wonder,' and 'Nintendo Switch Sports.' Blockbuster third-party titles like 'GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition' and 'Just Dance 2026 Edition' further highlight the console’s wide-ranging appeal. In the download-only games category, indie darling 'Stardew Valley' claims the top spot, demonstrating its remarkable staying power on the platform.
The enduring popularity of both 'Super Mario Galaxy 2' and 'Disney Dreamlight Valley'—each holding prominent positions in the digital-only list—reflects a healthy balance between established Nintendo franchises and innovative new releases.
The charts also feature critically acclaimed titles such as 'Hades 2,' 'Hollow Knight: Silksong,' and 'Disco Elysium,' signifying the eShop’s reputation as a destination for both high-profile and indie developers. A Nintendo spokesperson articulated the continuing strength of Switch’s digital ecosystem, emphasizing that, "The Nintendo eShop remains an essential hub for players to discover and enjoy a diverse catalog of games, from major franchise titles to indie gems." Nintendo’s eShop charts remain an important reference for developers and publishers when assessing player engagement and the ongoing momentum of game titles on the Nintendo Switch and its successor platforms.
With regular updates and a rapidly evolving marketplace, the eShop’s rankings serve as a crucial barometer of the industry’s landscape as we move deeper into 2026.
Fans and industry watchers can stay current with the latest eShop performance for both Switch 1 and the recently released Switch 2 through Nintendo’s official tracking channels.
