In an interview with GamesBeat, GungHo Online president Kazuki Morishita discussed the performance of Ninjala. It appears to be doing well, as Morishita mentioned that the amount of downloads “grew much faster than we expected.”
Ninjala has been most popular in the United States. Japan, then France, and finally Spain round out the top four in that order.

Original: One issue Switch owners seem to encounter more than any other is Joy-Con drift. After extended use, some people notice that their controller recognizes input when the joystick isn’t actually being moved. It can cause some pretty obvious frustration since the Joy-Con essentially aren’t working as intended.
