Most of the games on this list are rather unexpected such as Minecraft, Rocket Leage and Mario Odyssey, but I was fairly surprised by a few of the games.

Oxenfree at number one came to me as a pretty big surprise.  It is a somewhat small indie title which beat out the likes of Minecraft, Mario and Stardew Valley most likely thanks to its massive 75% discount.

Another games which surprised me personally was 1-2 Switch.  Considering the game’s mostly negative reception at the launch of the console, I never expected to see the game appearing in the top sales list for any particular months going into the following year.

 

It is great seeing so many small indie games making it onto the list.  Games such as Celeste and Enter the Gungeon are absolutely phenomenal and completely deserve the positive reception and sales they have enjoyed.  Hopefully this trend will continue throughout 2018 because it is wonderful that so many of the little indie games are finding success on the Switch.
