According to a new estimate from SuperData, the Switch version of Among Us sold 3.2 million copies on Switch during December. It was “the highest-earning version of the game for the month,” the report states.
That number is not official, so we do again need to stress that this is an estimate. Still, anything even remotely close to 3.2 million would be quite impressive.
We can say for a fact that Among Us has repeatedly topped the Switch eShop charts since launch.

One of our earliest looks at The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time came in 1997. It was fully playable at the trade show, which was a full year before launch. We’ve learned over the years that the build on display there offered up some significant changes from the final version.
Now more than twenty years later, assets from that early version of Zelda: Ocarina of Time have popped up online. Forest of Illusion obtained a prototype N64 cartridge for F-Zero X from a former Nintendo employee, which amazingly enough, has the unfinished build.
Here’s a roundup of notable findings:

We heard earlier this week that Animal Crossing: New Horizons was the best-selling game of 2020 in France. Based on a new report from Le Figaro, a number of other Switch games also did very well.
Nintendo France managing director Philippe Lavoue told the publication that as far as Animal Crossing goes, “families with kids took the relay [in sales] at the start of summer”. The title was “continuously in the top three best video game sellers and still is in this beginning of 2021.”
