Nintendo recently shared new data revealing the best-selling games on the Japanese Switch 2 and Switch eShops for May 2026.

Looking at Nintendo Switch 2, Pokemon Pokopia had another strong month and stays at #1. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, a new release for the month, follows in second. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth wasn’t out at this point, but it has two spots here thanks to pre-loads.
