Nintendo has announced that more than 10 million NES Classic and SNES Classic units have been sold. The NES Classic was launched in April 2017 and was re-released in June 2018. The SNES Classic released in September 2017.
During Nintendo 's financial results briefing, President Shuntaro Furukawa stated both Classic consoles' success suggests there might be even greater demand during the holiday season. Furukawa did not discuss this issue, and did not comment on this new generation of consoles – for Nintendo 64 or GameCube, for example – or the addition of NES games on Switch Online.
Nintendo has also released the updated list of the global switch and 3DS. The biggest change in the game is Mario Tennis Aces, which shot up the number six spot with 2.16 million copies sold, after being number 10 during the last update. The big four – Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Splatoon 2 – remain in the top, while the rest of the list has shuffled around a bit. With Nintendo adopting a game for the model of the Switch, it will be interesting to see if Splatoon 2 can continue to remain in the top four, or if it will be knocked out by another game in the coming months.
The full list of the top 10 games on both the Switch and 3DS are listed below.
