Nintendo has shared a list of the top 15 most-downloaded Switch eShop games of January 2020 in Europe, and it's a familiar Switch frontrunner that's taken pole position.

Yes, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has grabbed a Bullet Bill and zoomed right to the very front of the queue this month, possibly as new Switch owners head to the eShop to pick up must-play titles after getting their console for Christmas. Minecraft is also proving to be as popular as ever, remaining in second place for another month.

You can check out the full list below. It's based on the number of Nintendo eShop downloads (so no physical sales) in European territories during the whole month:


  1. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
  2. Minecraft
  3. Super Mario Party
  4. Dr Kawashima's Brain Training for Nintendo Switch
  5. Cuphead
