Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Is Nintendo's Best-Selling Game Of All Time, With One Caveat
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has passed a new milestone, as it is now Nintendo's best-selling game of all time--if you don't count one particular bundled game from the Wii era. According to Nintendo's latest financial report, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold 61.97 million units in total as of March 31, 2024. The only other Nintendo game that has done better is Wii Sports at 82.90 million units sold, but considering that the game was bundled in with a Wii console, it is in a different category entirely.
In comparison, the rest of Nintendo's top-performing games include various titles across multiple platforms. Five Switch games are on the list, the Wii is in second place with four games, and the DS is in third place with a single entry, according to Nintendo:
The 10 best-selling Nintendo games as of March 31, 2024
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe -- 61.97 million
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons -- 45.36 million
- Mario Kart Wii -- 37.38 million
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate -- 34.22 million
- Wii Sports Resort -- 33.14 million
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild -- 31.85 million
- New Super Mario Bros. DS -- 30.80 million
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii -- 30.32 million
- Wii Play -- 28.02 million
- Super Mario Odyssey -- 27.96 million
In case you're wondering where Pokemon is on that list, the previous two generations of the game would still crack the Nintendo top 20 easily--Pokemon Sword and Shield have 26.27 million lifetime sales so far while Pokemon Scarlet and Violet currently sit at 24.92 million--and other notable entries include Wii Fit, Nintendogs, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
