The year 2019 does not end for Nintendo without the publication of the annual charts. Unsurprisingly, the titles downloaded most frequently from Nintendo eShop include several in-house Nintendo classics. However, the list is headed by one of the currently most successful games of all: Fortnite.
No surprise: Fortnite tops the charts
The battle royale shooter Fortnite tops the list of the 25 most popular games for Nintendo Switch – at least in the download version from the Nintendo eShop. This is not surprising for several reasons. On the one hand, Fortnite is available for free as a free-2-play game, and on the other hand, the shooter is currently one of the most successful video games in the world. The fan base is large – also on the Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo came in second with its own Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Beat'em up is one of the most anticipated games for Nintendo Switch and can therefore get a top 3 placement. Nevertheless, the fact that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was able to establish itself at the top is a bit of a surprise. The game's price remained stable throughout the year, but still sold extremely well.

Minecraft, a kind of video game phenomenon of recent years, also made it onto the winners' podium. Minecraft is far from being old. The block building game is still very popular.
The remaining places are made up of a mixture of different genres: from the indie hit of a Cuphead to the adult hit man Mortal Kombat 11, many great titles are represented on the list of the most popular games for Nintendo Switch.
