You know how high was MK8D in last month's top e-shop downloads? Third.
I don't think it ever dropped below fifth (and even that only for months with a bunch of huge releases) and it's been very often first or second.
I love the game, but I just don't understand how this is possible. Like, at some point, everyone mildly interested in getting it should have it...?
Switch consoles are still selling as well as ever, and most of them come bundled with MK8D
So even if you're not interested, you might still get a digital copy of the game just because it came with your console.
It's one of the first games people buy to get into the nintendo world. A fun simple game that anyone in the family can play. There aren't that many games that entertaining for all ages with local multiplayer for casual quick gaming with friends or family.
It's really understandable how successful the game is.
