Circana has released a listing of the top ten best-selling games in the U.S. for the month of May 2025.
This was the calm before the Nintendo Switch 2 storm, so there’s not a massive amount to report. However, in terms of new releases, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 manages to make it in at #19.
Here’s a look at the complete list of best-selling games in the U.S. for May 2025:
Nintendo shared new data this week revealing the top 20 best-selling games on the Japanese Switch 2 and Switch eShops for June 2025.
This was Nintendo Switch 2 launch month, meaning we have first results for the system. Mario Kart World is unsurprisingly at the time, but you might be interested to know that Tamagotchi Plaza is right behind it. Tamagotchi Plaza also managed to take the top spot for the original Nintendo Switch.
The full lineup of Japan’s best-selling games on the Switch 2 and Switch eShops for June 2025 is as follows:
July 2: According to a report from The Verge, Nintendo Switch 2 has a new encryption scheme and some form of dedicated encryption chip, which has broken third-party docking.
The console, of course, comes with its own dock. However, as The Verge points out, “Nintendo has also broken compatibility with portable docks that you can take on vacation or to your hotel room, and with video glasses like the Xreal One”.
Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics has received another update following its enhancements on Switch 2. We all know Nintendo loves their stability patches and this update seems to follow suit.
Another SpongeBob SquarePants has been confirmed for Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny as GameMill today announced that Sandy Cheeks is on the roster.
In the game, Sandy is showing up as a barbarian. Her moves include Big Acorn, Hammer Swing, Hibernation Mode, Hurricane Attack, Avalanche Strike, Rodeo Lasso, and Texas.
With Amazon Prime Day 2025 kicking off, we’re posting a roundup of some Nintendo-related deals you can take advantage of.
Amazon does require that you’re subscribed to its Prime service in order for the deals to unlock. These days though, it doesn’t feel like that much of a niche subscription. But even if you’re not a member, you can get your hands on a free trial here and get involved with Amazon Prime Day.
You can find the current roundup below. We’ll update the list if any other notable deals appear.
As Nintendo and Amazon continue to mend their relationship, it seems that the retailer is gearing up for its first opportunity to sell the system to customers in the United States.
You can’t purchase the console immediately, which isn’t surprising given how other retailers have handled the situation. Currently you can request an invite for the Mario Kart World bundle or the standard system. Those that register – if they’re selected – will receive an email with a link that’s valid for 22 hours. Note that if you aren’t selected during this round of invites, your request is still eligible to be selected in future rounds so you don’t need to submit another request for the next three months.
Fangamer today shared details on not one, but two new physical releases for Nintendo Switch with Crow Country and 20XX/30XX.
Crow Country will be sold as a standard copy and Deluxe Edition. In the latter, you’ll receive the following bonuses: a 4-piece acrylic standee measuring about 3.1 inches tall and 3.9 inches wide, a 40-page journal for taking important notes, three retro-inspired holographic character cards featuring Mara, Arthur, and Edward Crow, and two kiss-cut sticker sheets. Both versions include a 20-page instruction booklet straight from the developers, filled with tips, character bios, and more plus a 9×12 inch double-sided folded poster showcasing an original park map and promotional flier.
A few years after it was announced, Time Flies has been given a final release date. Panic and Playables confirmed today that it’s hitting Nintendo Switch on July 31, 2025.
Time Flies was originally revealed back in 2022. It took significantly longer than expected for the project to wrap up, as it was last slated for 2023.
Here’s an overview of the game:
