Nintendo shared its financial earnings report for the end of its fiscal year 2020. Alongside the earnings, the company has updated its list of top 10 best-selling Switch games, revealing the latest sales figures for some of the system's biggest first-party titles.

Since then, that number has risen to 13.41 million, eclipsing the lifetime sales of the series' previous best-selling entry, New Leaf, in just six weeks.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains Switch's best-selling first-party game at nearly 25 million copies sold, while Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is approaching 19 million.
