2020 may have had its low points for many, though gaming certainly wasn’t one of them.\u00a0With a\u00a0slew of awesome new games and\u00a0next-gen console releases from Sony<\/a> and Microsoft<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 not to mention people\u00a0spending more time at home\u00a0\u2014 gaming was riding high in ’20.<\/p>\n

This extends to Nintendo’s hybrid console, which, despite being years old, still managed to excel with a number of popular titles. Thanks to the timeless appeal of many, Nintendo managed to move tons of software this year, both old\u00a0and\u00a0<\/strong>new.<\/p>\n

This list will highlight the Switch<\/a>‘s ten best sellers in North America, as per\u00a0The NPD Group<\/a>\u00a0and reported by VG247<\/a>.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Super Mario Odyssey<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Kicking things off at the number ten spot is the latest mainline Mario<\/em> epic. Super Mario Odyssey<\/em>‘s appeal and quality have\u00a0given the game a mushroom boost of\u00a0massive staying power despite dating back to October 2017.<\/p>\n

Thanks to some enjoyable 3D platforming, fantastical worlds, and robust content – along with the add-on “Luigi’s Balloon World” – the game’s been able to keep its momentum going, selling over 20 million copies to date. It’s made for quite the memorable odyssey, and it shows no signs of reaching its end anytime soon.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Super Mario Party<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

For many Nintendo<\/a> fans, the long-running Mario Party<\/em> franchise<\/a> was in need of some sort of makeover. For most, NDcube and Nintendo managed to deliver with this charming new spin on the series. With more streamlined gameplay as well as refined, creative use of motion controls, Super Mario Party<\/em><\/a> breathes new life into the series.<\/p>\n

The game offers a slew of fun new minigames that range from flipping meat cubes to riding tiny tricycles. New game modes also round out the experience, including a thrilling new co-op romp and solid online mode.<\/p>\n

While this delightful sequel diverges a bit from the beaten path, it still\u00a0taps into the traits that made the series so appealing in the first place, with its whimsical themes and party gameplay.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Luigi’s Mansion 3<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

As a rare series starring Mario’s often-neglected brother, Luigi’s Mansion<\/em> seemed to be a dormant relic of the early GameCube days until reemerged on the 3DS<\/a>\u00a0over a decade later. Off the heels of that hit came what’s widely considered its strongest effort yet, Luigi’s Mansion 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nintendo and Next Level Games adhere to the unique traits the series is known for, including\u00a0spooky indoor locales and\u00a0Luigi’s ghost-busting vacuum. At the same time, the game is fleshed out with new ghost-catching moves, a vast hotel setting, and a robust multiplayer mode.<\/p>\n

Local and online faceoffs have players taking on the role of Luigi and his ectoplasmic assistant Gooigi as they traverse areas to solve puzzles and\u00a0catch ghosts together. The new mode known as ScreamPark brings an added element of excitement and thrills, as players can square off in competitive team battles.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Not to be outdone by its epic 3D counterpart, classic sidescrolling Mario<\/em> continues to\u00a0go strong with this game, selling close to 6 million units to date. The fact that New Super Mario Bros. U<\/em> has existed in some form since 2012 is a\u00a0testament to the timeless fun and appeal of 2D Mario.<\/em><\/p>\n

With its solid platforming, vibrant worlds, and thrilling 4-player co-op, NSMB U remains an appealing title for a wide range of Switch players. Its sharpened visuals and added content, mainly the New Super Luigi U<\/em> DLC, serve to entice Wii U vets and newcomers alike.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While momentum for The Big N’s hit fantasy series marches on with games like Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity<\/em><\/a> and Link’s Awakening<\/em>, the mainline\u00a0Zelda<\/em> epic has continued to shine in terms of sales.\u00a0With the anticipated sequel on the horizon and a trickling of DLC content, the Breath of the Wild<\/em><\/a> hype machine has continued to churn.<\/p>\n

Breath of the Wild\u00a0<\/em>has\u00a0become one of the most renowned games in this storied franchise, thanks to its gripping fantasy aura, gorgeous visuals, and dynamic, open-world gameplay.<\/p>\n

The robust environments, rewarding progression, and thrilling combat have kept gamers coming back for more. In this expansive version of Hyrule, there are seemingly always new areas to explore, new shrines to solve, and more foes to slay.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Ring Fit Adventure<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Nintendo managed to strike gold by offering a suitably fun way to get in shape<\/a> with Wii Fit<\/em>. Fast forward a decade, and this spiritual successor makes that effort look tame, with it amping things up with surprisingly tough resistance training and cardio.<\/p>\n

2019’s Ring Fit Adventure<\/em><\/a> turns a player’s game space into a home gym, which was an enticing perk in a year riddled with lockdowns and social distancing<\/a>. It excels with its blend of nuanced and accessible gameplay, which offers tons of versatility in terms of difficulty and\u00a0areas one wishes to target.<\/p>\n

The Leg Strap and resilient Ring-Con serve as immersive tools that allow players to take on various fun workouts with an RPG-adventure overlay. Though other options exist for those who’d rather forgo the campaign,\u00a0including customized workouts, a dance romp, and party-esque minigames<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Nintendo’s latest rendition of this party-fighter has remained a smash-hit since its December 2018 debut. Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em> takes the approach of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” sticking to the formula of the previous entry on Wii U in particular.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Bandai Namco and Nintendo amp things up with tons of new content and refined gameplay. This includes a robust campaign, uniquely fun multiplayer options, and a huge, expanding lineup of fighters. The game also features a super-addictive online mode and the favored\u00a0Melee<\/em>-esque mechanics which are tighter and swifter.<\/p>\n

With over 22 million units now sold, Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em><\/a> continues to reign as an undisputed champ on Switch, especially when it comes to esports and social gaming.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Super Mario 3D All-Stars<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Despite being a compilation of older games,\u00a0Super Mario 3D All-Stars<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>manages to outdo even most new titles on Switch, reminding gamers of the timeless charm of Mario<\/em> platforming.<\/p>\n

Though it’s gotten mixed reception<\/a> for its lack of refinement or added content, 3D All-Stars<\/em> still holds the distinction of\u00a0offering three\u00a0of the best 3D Mario<\/em> games in their most appealing form ever.<\/p>\n

Super Mario 64<\/em> takes gamers back on a nostalgic trip to 3D Mario<\/em>‘s roots and introduces newcomers to a ’90s classic<\/a>. Then there’s the plumber’s somewhat overlooked stint on GameCube, which\u00a0shines\u00a0brighter than ever in 1080p. Finally, there’s the epic\u00a0Super Mario Galaxy<\/em>, which looks and plays\u00a0stupendously on Switch.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Mario Kart 8: Deluxe<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Despite being another converted Wii U title, this latest entry in the hit\u00a0Mario Kart<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>series continues to speed forward, selling over 41 million copies combined.<\/p>\n

It certainly helps\u00a0that the game’s rife\u00a0with fun, addictive content, including an improved Battle Mode, a slew of DLC content, and\u00a0ultra-vibrant visuals.\u00a0Its fast-paced, pick-up-and-play nature also lends itself to the Switch’s handheld sensibilities.<\/p>\n

Dating all the way back to mid-2017,\u00a0Mario Kart 8 Deluxe\u00a0<\/em>remains one of Switch’s ultimate go-to’s for parties and exciting online showdowns.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Timing can be big in art and entertainment, and the pandemic of 2020 offered a favorable dynamic for this whimsical, socially-oriented game from Nintendo. After all,\u00a0Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>offers a fun, laid-back platform from which to mingle with friends and family.<\/p>\n

Of course, that’s not to take away from the merits of this appealing game, as it’s widely considered the best version of the franchise. The game provides a unique charm with its rewarding, versatile gameplay that allows players to\u00a0construct and manage their unique island paradise, collect goodies<\/a>, and hang out\u00a0with human and AI villagers.<\/p>\n
