Yoshi tops Switch 2 eShop chart May 24

Nintendo Everything’s weekly Switch 2 eShop chart for May 24 showed Yoshi and the Mysterious Book still at No. 1 after taking the lead a week earlier. The outlet said the game held off Pokemon Pokopia, which remained No. 2 after previously dominating the storefront. The same chart said Tales of Arise entered the rankings this week with two versions in the top 10. ### How did Yoshi stay on top after launch? Nintendo Everything reported on May 24 that Yoshi and the Mysterious Book “held off” Pokemon Pokopia in the latest Switch 2 eShop rankings. That matters because the prior week’s No. 1 position had been driven by pre-load demand before Yoshi’s release, and the new chart showed the game staying in first after launch rather than slipping back. (nintendoeverything.com) The May 17 chart had already signaled the shift. Nintendo Everything said Yoshi and the Mysterious Book rose to No. 1 on pre-loads alone, ending Pokemon Pokopia’s run at the top. The May 24 update then said “things have stayed the same,” with Yoshi first and Pokemon second. ### What exactly did the May 24 ranking show? The May 24 all-games list placed Yoshi and the Mysterious Book at No. 1, Pokemon Pokopia at No. 2, Mario Kart World at No. 3 and Donkey Kong Bananza at No. 4, according to Nintendo Everything. (nintendoeverything.com) Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Premium Edition was No. 5, followed by Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, with another Tales of Arise entry also appearing in the top 10. (nintendoeverything.com) GoNintendo, which reposted the same weekly chart data on May 24, also described it as Yoshi’s second straight week on top. Its list matched the top of the Nintendo Everything ranking and likewise showed Pokemon Pokopia in second place. ### Why is Tales of Arise part of the story this week? Nintendo Everything said Tales of Arise “just released” and debuted with two entries in the top 10. (nintendoeverything.com) That made it the main new arrival in the May 24 ranking, even though it did not challenge the top two positions. Nintendo Everything’s North America download roundup from May 21 listed Tales of Arise and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book among that week’s new eShop releases. (gonintendo.com) That timing helps explain why Tales appeared as a fresh entrant in the May 24 chart. ### Is this a Nintendo sales chart or a Nintendo Everything roundup? (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo Everything described the May 24 post as the latest “Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of May 24, 2026.” The outlet publishes weekly ranking posts tracking placements on the storefront, and its charts archive shows comparable weekly updates on May 10, May 17 and May 24. (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo’s own regional eShop pages also publish live bestseller charts, though those are separate from Nintendo Everything’s weekly story format and can differ by market and timing. A Nintendo eShop charts page for New Zealand, for example, showed a different ordering on May 24. ### What should readers watch in the next update? The next weekly Switch 2 eShop chart will show whether Yoshi and the Mysterious Book can extend its run at No. 1 or whether Pokemon Pokopia regains the lead. (nintendoeverything.com) It will also show whether Tales of Arise keeps both of its charting editions in the top 10 after its debut week. (store.nintendo.com.au)
