Impressive Infographic Shows the 10 Best-Selling Games on Each Major Nintendo System

An impressive infographic lists the 10 best-selling games on every major Nintendo system since the NES. Nintendo revolutionized the gaming industry with the Nintendo Entertainment System, establishing landmark franchises that still receive blockbuster new entries to this day.
Nintendo has continued to build on its franchises with each new console, iterating on Super Mario, Zelda, and more while also producing brand-new, original IP. It's fascinating to take a look at all the Nintendo consoles that have been released over the years and the games that dominated each system to see new games take the spotlight as well as the franchises that continuously find themselves in the top 10.
Nintendo recently released its updated list of the 10 best-selling Switch games, and now Reddit user TomCyberfire has created an impressive infographic that lists not just the best-selling games for the company's latest console, but the NES, Game Boy/Game Boy Color, SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, GameCube, Nintendo DS, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, and Wii U best-selling games as well. The infographic has gone viral on Reddit, amassing over 27,000 upvotes at the time of this writing.
Some users in the comments have pointed out some interesting details when it comes to the best-selling games on each Nintendo console. For example, the best-selling Wii U game, Mario Kart 8, still sold worse than the 10th best-selling Switch game. Whereas Mario Kart 8 sold 8.46 million units on the Wii U, the 10th best-selling Switch game, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, has sold 17.2 million copies so far.
Nintendo is still supporting the Switch with new game releases, and so it's quite possible that its top 10 will change before it's all said and done. It's likely that more recent releases like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and the critically-acclaimed Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will climb up the sales charts, especially since they are outpacing their immediate predecessors.
With rumors of a Switch 2 reveal on the horizon, it will be interesting to see what games make up the best-selling titles on the Switch successor console. If the best-selling games on previous Nintendo consoles are any indication, fans can expect Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon to make an appearance.
The Nintendo Switch OLED comes with several upgrades over the original Nintendo Switch console while maintaining game compatibility with the old console. With a larger 7-inch OLED screen and double the internal storage of the original Nintendo Switch, it doesn't feel like a new console altogether. That being said, it is an option worth checking out for a better display.
