The Nintendo Switch eShop continues to showcase the enduring popularity of classic titles, as the weekly charts for March 21, 2026, have been released.
This snapshot of the Nintendo eShop reflects not only consumer trends but also spotlights recent releases and ongoing favorites across both the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 platforms. Leading the charts again this week are the iconic Pokemon FireRed and Pokemon LeafGreen.
Their sustained dominance demonstrates the lasting appeal of the Pokemon franchise, both among nostalgic players and a new generation of fans.
Despite their age, these remakes have achieved remarkable longevity in the digital marketplace, continuing to capture the top two spots. Meanwhile, the arrival of MLB The Show 26 introduced fresh competition to the eShop rankings.

As anticipation builds for its full release, industry observers will be watching closely to see if it climbs higher once the collection officially launches.

Ultimate, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, each showing continued strong performance on the Nintendo eShop.
