Nintendo ranks #22 in Metacritic’s 2024 game publisher rankings
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
The annual Metacritic publisher rankings just went live, and now we have the results for 2024 – including a look at where Nintendo stacks up. The selection is based on how each company fared in terms of their releases and reviews.
In 2024, Nintendo actually saw a big dip. The company sits at #22, compared to #6 for 2023 – and behind both Sony and Microsoft. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom definitely provided a big boost which was missing in 2024, but even taking that into account, it’s a significant decline.
