I wasnt on 3DS, Ultimate is not WiiU/3DS port, it took previous game like foundation for game and build much more on a top of previous game, that why you have changed some core mechanics, new moves, new mods, much more new fighters, much more new stages, new music...much bigger hype.

Also, games on Switch generally selling much more than they do on 3DS, espacily when we talk about big Nintendo games, Mario 3D Land sold 12m LT on 3DS, Odyssey will most likely pass that number on Switch at end of this year.

this is like comparing cod WII vs infinity warfare its not all about different systems like some people make it out to be, its just Nintendo changed the formula and elevated to a new level imo. of course i do know switch is selling better software wise, just saying its not the main reason mario and zelda sales are mindblowing, they both scored 97 which is mind blowing, and had huge hype because of how Nintendo changed the formula, and fans as well as gamers loved what they were seeing. single player games are starting to become big again.

But its not point only about 3D Mario and Zelda, MK8D and Splatoon2 are also selling great and those games are not 97 games, and intresting enough those are all biggest games that Nintendo released until now, pattern is clear, next are Pokemon Let Go (even its not core Pokemon game) and Smash Bros. For instance even Xenoblade Chronicles 2 very fast become best selling Xenoblade game. Smash Bros Ultimate will easily become also best selling Smash game, same we can expect from Animal Crossing, to become best selling Animal Crossing game.
