The year in gaming was an interesting one since the world is slowly opening again, though there are still a lot of people playing video games indoors and that’s probably why a ton of Nintendo’s games sold well on Amazon, making it the top publisher for the store this year.

- Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
- Just Dance 2022 (Nintendo Switch)
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons
- Pokemon Brilliant Diamond
- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
- Mario Party Superstars

Congratulations to Nintendo for having a great 2021 and we can only assume that their 2022 is going to be even better with releases like Kirby and the Forgotten Land or Breath of the Wild 2, assuming that the latter meets its release date this time.
