Over on Nintendo Switch 2, it’s no surprise that Donkey Kong Bananza lands at #1 as the big release for the month. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 also seemed to do fairly well as it slots in right behind. The new Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Super Mario Party Jamboree is a bit slower as it just misses the top ten.

We’re in September, which means there’s a new set of classic icons available on Nintendo Switch Online – and now it’s time for Fire Emblem and F-Zero to shine. They’ll be up for the whole month.
