I've felt tempted to buy a Wii cuz I only got to play part of the first Prime as a kid. Rumors are that Nintendo finished a Switch collection and are waiting until closer to Prime 4's release to sell it

NICE.

Nintendo's games are not only selling like there's no tomorrow but many of their upcoming releases are also dominating pre-orders. Video game retailer GameStop recently shared its top ten most pre-ordered Switch games in the US since 8th June this year.

Metroid Dread continues to be the most anticipated release and the Diamond and Pearl remakes - due out this November - are in second place. There's also a bit of third-party representation further down the list. Here are the top ten most pre-ordered Switch games at GameStop in recent times:

1. Metroid Dread
2. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl Double Pack
3. Mario Party Superstars
4. Pokémon Legends: Arceus
5. Shin Megami Tensei V
6. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond
7. WarioWare: Get It Together!
8. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus
9. Sonic Colors: Ultimate
10. Advance Wars 1 + 2 Re-Boot Camp

Metroid Dread was also GameStop's top pre-order following this year's E3. The Pokémon games were on the same list, too.

In terms of the top-selling Switch games, earlier this month Nintendo gave us an update - revealing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still out in front (as of June 2021) - with 37.08 million sales worldwide.

I’ve seen a couple reports comment on this before that it’s apparently complete and they are sitting in it to wait for before the prime 4 release
