Nintendo has published the Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of September 19, 2026, revealing notable movement among first-party and indie titles.
The weekly rankings capture paid and download-only performance on Nintendo's digital storefront for the Switch family of hardware.
Metroid Dread, developed by MercurySteam and originally released for Nintendo Switch in October 2021, rose to the top spot this week amid renewed attention.
Rewritten statements and chart context
- Nintendo's eShop report for the week of September 19, 2026 shows Metroid Dread climbing to No. 1 after a recent announcement tied to the Metroid franchise.
The game, developed by MercurySteam and published by Nintendo, originally launched on October 8, 2021 for the Switch and has periodically returned to the charts since release.
- Games included in Nintendo's Customer Appreciation Sale saw measurable lifts in placement; The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, developed by Nintendo EPD and released May 12, 2023, moved up to No. 2 on the all-games list.
Top-level trends and highlights
- First-party Nintendo IPs dominate the top of the all-games eShop chart for the week: multiple Zelda and Mario entries populate the top 10, reflecting the continued strength of Nintendo-owned franchises on Switch hardware.
High-profile catalog releases, compilations and remasters—such as Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario Party Jamboree—also performed strongly.
- The all-games top 30 includes a mix of legacy titles, remasters and newer releases, from Metroid Prime Remastered to recent indie entries like Little Witch in the Woods.
The presence of legacy and remastered titles underscores how Nintendo's digital storefront supports long-tail sales for catalog games.
- On the download-only chart, Super Mario Galaxy 2 leads, followed by retro re-releases and popular indie titles such as Pokemon FireRed and Little Witch in the Woods.
The download-only rankings continue to reflect both nostalgia-driven purchases and indie visibility on the eShop.
Full weekly charts were published by Nintendo and list positions for both paid and download-only categories.
The eShop remains a key indicator of consumer interest across the Switch lineup, and weekly charts provide a snapshot of which first-party franchises and digital releases are resonating with players at any given moment.
