Switch 2

Nintendo recently shared new data revealing the best-selling games on the Japanese Switch 2 and Switch eShops for December 2025.

December brought along a couple of notable games, including Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – it hits #8 on Nintendo Switch 2, but isn’t in the top 20 on Switch. Metroid hasn’t been a particularly popular franchise in Japan and Beyond has been pushed as a game for Nintendo’s latest console, so that likely impacted placement. Meanwhile, Octopath Traveler 0 places on both charts.

The full lineup of Japan’s best-selling games on the Switch 2 and Switch eShops for December 2025 is as follows:

You could argue that 2018 was the king’s best year, given the announcement of his inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a new fighter. 2025 was at least a close second, then – thanks to King K. Rool’s appearances in games and even on the Nintendo Today app, it seems his future could be brighter than ever. Note that there will be spoilers in this post.

Fatal Frame 1 remake

Koei Tecmo has has commented on the possibility of giving the very first Fatal Frame remake. This comes as part of an interview with 4Gamer.

Next month, we’ll be seeing Fatal Frame 2 Remake. Some might be wondering why Koei Tecmo didn’t start with the first entry in the series. That would make logical sense, and we did technically see Project Zero 2: Wii Edition back in the day (although that one never came to North America).
