Nintendo has updated their website to showcase a list of the best selling Nintendo Switch games. The list starts off with a title of “Nintendo Switch Best Sellers” and follows with the statement “If games help popularity contests, these titles would be winning”. I guess these games should have no trouble finding a date to prom.

Here is the list pulled straight from Nintendo’s official website:
