Nintendo has released an updated list of its best-selling titles on the eShop in Japan, this time covering June 2021.
The list sees two new entries at the top, with Game Builder Garage managing to keep Mario Golf: Super Rush from a debut digital number one. Innersloth's Among Us completes the top three, moving up a position from last month.
Elsewhere, the list is made up of a mixture of familiar favourites and more new entries, including a very decent fourth-place finish for Legend of Mana.
Only paid downloads are included in the list, and any games that were on sale during the period are appropriately labelled (thanks, Perfectly Nintendo). Secondary numbers show last month's chart placement:
01./New. – Game Builder Garage (Nintendo) [11.6.2021] {2 980 Yen}

Nice to see Dragon Quest XI S on the list. I love that game with a burning passion.
I'm glad game builder garage is at the top, hopefully nintendo will make more out of the blue new ips
My brother got game builder garage over crash 4 and safe to say his thirty minutes of playtime since launch say that it is a bust imo
sigh At least in Japanese chart, Minecraft is not on second place... Yay...
Wait, where did DQXI come from? Was there a sale or something for the series anniversary?
I'm a bit surprised to not see Monster Hunter Stories 2. I haven't played it, but I thought that Monster Hunter Rise's popularity would get people to try other games in the franchise, even if it's a different genre and playstyle.
@Chowdaire
I would assume it stems from the DQXII announcement, so people would be interested and buy DQXI on the Switch.
@ModdedInkling MHS2 wasn't released in June
@hyperballad
Ignore what I said. Google gave me the wrong release date of June 25th
@Peteykins edutainment. Everyone will buy their kid a learning game in hopes they'll be the next bill gates (divorce court and improper conduct litigation not included.)
Edutainment. Every kid will get their learning game and then even settle for NBA2K as a better time...
