Rockman 11 and Sumikko Gurashi releases tomorrow in Japan for the Switch. Super Mario Party releases the day after that. The only future releases on the Amazon JP top 100 after those 3 are various SKUs of Pokemon Let's Go and Smash. So it looks like those two will be on their own for the most part for this all-important fiscal quarter. For comparison, the PS4 currently has 14 future release titles (not SKUs) in the Amazon JP top 100.

Yearly update for the startpost.

Almost all first party software is third party only, is the Amazon France conflict for Nintendo products happening in the US as well?

NSO is not doing to well. It might actually fall out of the top 100...

Could be, Amazon US also sells Switch software 5-15$ cheaper than it should (I've never seen Super Mario Odyssey above $44) so maybe the same conflict is happening for Amazon US.

Amazon yearly charts update (7 days since last update):

SSBU: 5 (-)
Super Mario Party: 23 (+5)
Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu: 58 (+1)
Pokémon Let's Go Eevee: 83 (-2)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy PS4: 94 (-)
Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! + Poké Ball Plus Pack: 98 (NEW)

Dropped out of the Top 100 for now:

And that's it for now. Super Mario Party is doing very well and may enter the top 20 on release. Smash is dueling with a 60$ Playstation Gift card for the 5th spot right now, and Pokémon and Spyro are stagnating.

Still no sight of BOIIII, RDR2 or Fallout 76, which starts getting a bit concerning, at least for their performance on Amazon.

Dark Souls Switch enters the top 100 and then promptly goes out of stock. Weird.
I guess the Fortnite bundle isn't as big a deal as we thought it would be, perhaps it'll do more long term.

It's doing miles better at Gamestop though, so it's bad performance here ain't universal.

It also comes months after the release, meaning that those who had or wanted a Switch and liked Fortnite got everything they needed already before.
