Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for March 11th, 2019. At least at the time of writing, there isn’t a whole lot going on today in the world of Switch. We do have a rather interesting look at the top selling software in Japan to date, but other than that it’s pretty much just a list of sales information today. I had wanted to get a review done, but I went to watch a movie yesterday instead of playing games like a good little boy, so that will have to wait until tomorrow. Oh well, let’s make what we can of things!

I never know how much people are really into this kind of thing, but with little else going on today, it can’t hurt to give it a try. The Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu ran a special feature on the Switch in last week’s issue to coincide with the system’s second anniversary.

3rd: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 2,185,049 units

4th: Super Mario Odyssey – 1,940,587 units

5th: Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee – 1,425,935 units
