Nintendo updated its download rankings to show the top 20 Nintendo Switch games that sold the most on the Japan eShop in May 2021.
Monster Hunter Rise charted at #1 for a third month straight since its launch in March. At #2, we have Rune Factory 5, which debuted in Japan on May 20 and impressively took the top spot from Monster Hunter Rise for a few days. Even more impressive is that Rune Factory 5 finished in second place with only 11 days remaining in May. At #3, it was last month’s #2 in New Pokémon Snap, followed by Among Us at #4 and Miitopia, another recent release, at #5 for May 2021.
