November 4, 2025 — Nintendo has reported strong first-half financial results for fiscal year 2026, driven by the massive success of the newly launched Nintendo Switch 2, which has sold 10.36 million units since release.

Software sales for the console reached 20.62 million units, underscoring the platform’s strong start. Meanwhile, sales of the original Nintendo Switch declined 60% year-over-year to 1.89 million units, as players migrate to the next-generation device.

Nintendo’s earnings reached 1.099 billion Japanese yen, marking a 110.1% increase compared to the previous year. In response, the company raised its financial forecasts across all major categories, including net sales, operating profit, and profit per share.

Top-performing titles for the Switch 2 include:

Mario Kart World — 9.57 million units sold

Donkey Kong Bananza — 3.49 million units sold

For the original Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains the all-time leader with 69.56 million units sold, followed by Animal Crossing: New Horizons with 48.62 million units.

Nintendo also shared an updated release schedule for its upcoming lineup:

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment — Nov. 6, 2025

Kirby Air Riders — Nov. 20, 2025

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond — Dec. 4, 2025

Mario Tennis Fever — Feb. 12, 2026

Super Mario Bros. Wonder (Switch 2 Edition) — Spring 2026

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book — Spring 2026

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream — Spring 2026

Pokémon Pokopia and Pokémon Champions — 2026

However, not all figures were positive: digital sales slipped 2.8% year-over-year, with Nintendo attributing the decline to “the impact of exchange rates and a decrease in sales of download-only software.”
