In a recent news post sent out to Switch owners, Nintendo provided a listing of the top 15 European eShop downloads for July 2019.
Super Mario Maker 2 manages to top the list, but Fire Emblem: Three Houses is right behind. The re-release of Doom also made it in, as did Dragon Quest Builders 2.
According to Nihon Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo, Ys VIII met sales expectations on Switch in the west. In Japan, though, “the game struggled”.
Kondo passed along that bit of news in an interview with Noisy Pixel. When asked if Nihon Falcom would ever consider any exclusive games for Switch, Kondo stated:
Kairosoft is continuing its Switch support with two more games. Oh! Edo Towns, along with The Pyraplex, release on the eShop next week.
Here are overviews and trailers for both:
