[Japan] Nintendo eShop: Top 30 for 2024 (Switch)

In Japan, Nintendo regularly shares the monthly Top 20 Software for the Nintendo Switch on their website. The company also shares charts for the full Year, and the first half of the year, and it’s the former we got today!

The Top 30 below lists the best-selling games on the Nintendo eShop between January and December 2024, and only covers paid downloads from the Nintendo eShop and the My Nintendo Store in Japan (which excludes Free 2 Play titles, obviously, but also games without a CERO rating, and those with a CERO Rating D or Z).
