– In the UK and Japan, Super Mario Galaxy 2 also leads the charts, with the original game ranking third in both regions.

The recent launch of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Nintendo Switch has sent ripples of excitement through the gaming community, with early eShop data now revealing which title players are gravitating toward most. In the United States, Super Mario Galaxy 2 has rocketed to the number one position on Nintendo’s digital storefront, while the original Super Mario Galaxy has secured the third spot, landing just behind the newly released Hades II. When looking at overall Switch purchases on the same platform, the combined Galaxy pack appears to be the most sought-after choice among buyers.
This trend isn’t limited to American shores. Both the United Kingdom and Japan are reporting identical patterns for the individual game releases, with Super Mario Galaxy 2 consistently claiming the top chart position and the first Galaxy adventure holding strong in third place. It’s important to remember that this data reflects only three specific regions, and the popularity of these games, as well as the bundle, could vary significantly in other parts of the world. Another factor to consider is that the original Super Mario Galaxy was previously available as part of the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection, meaning a large number of Switch owners had the chance to replay it back in 2020.
With both games now readily available, we’re curious about your purchasing decisions. Did you opt for a physical copy of the double pack, or did you choose the convenience of a digital download?
