What are the digital ratios of other best-selling Nintendo first party games on Switch ?

Can't get singular digital sales, but we can get the average digital sales ratio of all retail/package games.

Last fiscal year Digital Sales including "A. downloadable versions of packaged software, B. Download-Only Software, C. Add-On Content and D. Nintendo Switch Online Subscriptions" accounted for 24.8% of sales to the total dedicated video game software sales.

Nintendo show that 67.6% of those digital sales are "downloadable versions of packaged software sales". So we get this:

Retail Games - 75.2%
Digital Versions of Retail Games - 16.8%
Download Only Titles, Add-On Content & Subscriptions - 8%

so (16.8/92)*100 - 18.2

So for last fiscal year the digital ratio for retail games was 18.2%.

This would put SW/SH FW sales including digital at 1.66m

But that's global data, revenue not units and average lifetime, not average FW. So how useful that actually is, is questionable.

Why are you using global previous fiscal year when we know the Japan shipped+digital totals & retail sell through total for titles on the voucher program?

I'll have to look them over again but if I recall the digital rate is something like 20% for Mario Maker, 40% for Fire Emblem and 30% for Link's Awakening.
