There is a new #1 best-selling game on the Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> eShop chart, ending the reign of Splatoon Raiders<\/em>, which has occupied the spot since its release on July 23. Not only has Splatoon Raiders<\/em> lost its crown, but it has fallen to the #3 spot, as the #2 spot is another new release: EA Sports Madden NFL 27<\/em>. The Madden<\/em> series hasn\u2019t always been on Nintendo console, but it has a relationship with Nintendo that dates back to the SNES. Above it and Madden NFL 27<\/em> is an RPG that was released back in 2006 and never came to a Nintendo console in the 20 years since, until now, that is. <\/p>\n

Back in April 2025, developer Virtuous released a remaster of this 2006 RPG, and it was one of the best-selling games of the year, despite being just a remaster of an Xbox 360 and PS3-era RPG. This remaster was The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered<\/em>, a remaster of Bethesda Game Studios\u2019 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion<\/em>, one of the best RPGs of its generation. And now this remaster is on Nintendo Switch 2 after skipping the Nintendo Switch, which is unfortunate for those who haven\u2019t upgraded to the newer Switch yet. <\/p>\n

#1-#10 Best-Selling Nintendo Switch 2 Games for the Week of August 16<\/h2>\n

Right outside the top ten is Big Walk<\/em>, 2026\u2019s highest-rated game<\/a> and a chart-topper on Steam. It seemingly did not sell nearly as well on Switch 2. Right above it in the #10 spot is Final Fantasy 14<\/em>. In the #9, #8, #7, and #6 spots are Duskfade<\/em>, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim + Fallout 4<\/em>, Mario Kart World<\/em>, and Pokemon Pokopia<\/em>, respectively. The first game in the top five in the #5 spot is The Lord of the Rings: War in the North<\/em>. And then in the #4 spot is actually the Deluxe Edition of the Oblivion<\/em> remaster. And then the top three are mentioned above: Splatoon Raiders<\/em>, Madden NFL 27<\/em>, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered<\/em>. For those out of the loop, the new releases here are: Duskfade<\/em>, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North<\/em>, Madden NFL 27<\/em>, and Oblivion Remastered<\/em>. <\/p>\n
