Nintendo Reveals "Most Downloaded" Switch eShop Games In 2023 (Japan)

That's very impressive for Dragon Quest Monsters to take the fifth spot, since it only had one month to do so, compared to the other games on the list.

I keep seeing this Suika Game thumbnail image on NintendoLife and still have no idea why it’s such a big deal 😂

Great to see Pikmin 1 and 2 also placing! And of course, Human: Fall Flat is there, as always 🤣

@cookiki It's a very addicting cheap simple puzzle game that can be replayed endlessly. Of course it's going to be really popular.

I got Suika Game myself and it's fun, but I don't really see why it's such a game that everyone needs to get. It's so basic, the presentation is incredibly bare bones, and when they do introduce a new theme and music, they take it away again after a soon as the holiday for said theme is over.

I'll still play it on occasion but it's not that great of a game lol.

Suika game is legitemately the game of the year.

Suika game is the kind of game where I understand the appeal having played it now… but you can’t really get me to go ‘one more game’ when there is literally no reward in it besides a higher score. Even roguelikes handle repetition better than that at least. But hey, if you’re still having fun with it, more power to ya.

Turns out we were all fruits connected into a one big happy watermelon by this silly masterpiece all along

I love suika game’s success (not so much that someone is trying to steal from them on PlayStation though) as it is a gentle reminder that the point of games is that they are fun. They don’t have to be million dollar projects to be fun.

Nice to see Fire Emblem. Engage up there in the top 10. Glad to see the series is still popular even after Three Houses.

@cookiki I had the same thought a few weeks back but I happened to read the headline that went with it telling me it was a Game Trials offer, so I downloaded it… and I got my whole family addicted! That is including my parents who have played literally 2 hours on my switch total since I got it. Safe to say that despite its repetitiveness, it’s still fun!

Well... If Suika Game is so popular and successful... Why the same thing haven't happened to Topolon? If Vtuber will play this game, it will become popular too, yeah?...

@cookiki It's only Eur 2,99. Give it a try. It's a fun puzzler.

"you can’t really get me to go ‘one more game’ when there is literally no reward in it besides a higher score"

it works for tetris...

Seeing Pikmin 4 and Super Mario RPG in the top 10 does put a smile on my face.

Can't say I'm surprised regarding Suika Game. Not only is it a viral hit, but its simple nature, how easy it is to get into, and its price are all positives. I tried and enjoyed the game while it was a NSO trial but decided not to buy it. I have enough games on Switch to play already and leave timewasters like that for my phone when waiting somewhere.

I'm also pleased that Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince did very well despite releasing so late in the year.

The free trial of the Suika Game was really fun. It's cheap so it's on my wishlist now but I've also had other games I've been playing.

I'm surprised by the Dragon Quest Monsters placement but am glad for them and the player's. If it's really fun as well then that's great.

Seeing the #s would've been nice

@-wc-

It’s more of a me complaint than a general complaint, a lot of arcadey games work with that mindset, like tetris. xD Just not a mindset I personally understand/enjoy, but that’s fine.

Suika game is brilliantly priced at 2.99 (NA eShop at least) which is perfect for anyone who bought a $60 digital game and has the exact amount of coins for it. most people will have the coins and think ".........why not?"

Year Of The Watermelon 🍉

For me, the "one more game" of Suika Game comes from trying to at least get a Suika (watermelon). I always get so close but in the end never succeed.

Finishing the fruit evolution cycle is a whole other task of its own.
