And the overall rankings that factor in the eShops from other parts of the world:

14. ACA NeoGeo Metal Slug 3
15. Enter the Gungeon

24. Mr. Shifty
25. World of Goo
26. Brawlout
27. Human: Fall Flat
28. Uno
29. GoNNER
30. Implosion: Never Lose Hope
There are a couple of important points to mention here. First, it looks like these lists are exclusively eShop games – meaning you won’t find Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, or other retail titles. Also, for the worldwide rankings, it only includes releases available on the Japanese eShop. Because of that, certain games like Golf Story are excluded.
