I looked back at the software date on Mar. 31 2019 to see what kind of legs these games have.

Switch First Party sales (in millions of units)

Game	3/31/2019	6/30/2019	Increase
Mario Maker 2	0	2.42	2.42
Mario Kart 8D	16.69	17.89	1.2
Super Smash Bros	13.81	14.73	0.92
Zelda: BotW	12.77	13.61	0.84
NSMBU Deluxe	3.31	4.1	0.79
Super Mario Party	6.4	6.99	0.59
Mario Odyssey	14.44	14.94	0.5
Pokemon Let's Go	10.63	10.98	0.35
Splatoon 2	8.7	9.02	0.32
Mario Tennis Aces	2.64	2.75	0.11

Overall, Mario Kart 8D has the strongest legs, which is probably what we'd all expect.  Smash Bros and Zelda: BotW also have extremely impressive legs.  It is hard to say which of these games is the most impressive.  Smash Bros is ahead in total sales and will probably move ahead of Mario Odyssey soon to be the 2nd best selling Switch game.  Zelda also has amazingly strong legs considering it was a launch title and it almost sold as much as Smash Bros in the last quarter.  Neither Smash Bros or Zelda have ever had a game sell like these before.  These are truly stand-out, record-breaking, games.

Nintendo also has 5 games total that have already sold 10m+.  Given the current legs of both Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Party, I think it is fair to say that these will eventually break 10m as well.  Overall Nintendo has some amazing first party titles for it's first two years (plus a few months), and it still has several more to come.

But, but... Publishers said that nobody wants to play singleplayer games anymore, only live services.
