Twenty-four hours after the Nintendo Switch 2 launched, let’s explore the eShop’s best-sellers—and gauge the buzz around those modest Zelda visual upgrades.
Unsurprisingly, Mario Kart World dominates the Switch 2 eShop charts—the console’s flagship launch title, bundled with the system for many early adopters.
Its top spot was inevitable, especially since bundled purchases required redeeming a digital code, boosting its download numbers.
In second place, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition makes a surprising splash. CD Projekt celebrates its belated Nintendo debut, as Switch 2’s hardware finally unlocks Night City’s potential. Earlier this week, IGN spoke with the developers about porting this demanding RPG.
Third is Nintendo’s $10 Switch 2 Welcome Tour—a polarizing blend of mini-games and tech demos some argue should’ve been free. Part tutorial, part digital museum, it’s a budget-friendly primer (though full access requires additional controllers).
Fourth-ranked Fast Fusion fills the sci-fi racing void left by F-Zero’s absence. Developer Shin'en Multimedia repeats history—their Fast RMX launched with the original Switch in 2017, proving nostalgia for high-speed futuristic racing runs deep.

Fifth place belongs to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s $10 upgrade—an interesting trend despite Nintendo Switch Online including it for subscribers. Its popularity suggests players value permanent access to enhanced visuals and the companion app.
Newly released Deltarune chapters claim sixth, followed by Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s upgrade (seventh), likely overshadowed by its sequel. Eighth goes to Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, with Bravely Default’s HD remaster (ninth), Yakuza 0, and Street Fighter 6 rounding out the top ten.
Notably, full Switch 2 editions of both Zelda titles bookend Hitman: World of Assassination, while Hogwarts Legacy closes the chart with its graphical enhancements and optional $10 upgrade path for original Switch owners.
