Japanese Famitsu magazine announced the top 100 best-selling games in Japan in 2017.
2017 was a great year for Nintendo, which is very well reflected in the top hundred best-selling games of the year. The figures relate to the land of the rising sun and almost the entire top ten consists of Nintendo games. Thus Pokémon Sun Ultra / Ultra Moon best-selling Nintendo 3DS games with more than two million copies sold.
They took the crown in the top hundred, closely followed by Splatoon 2. It is striking how Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was able to crawl past The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
