Nintendo has changed its eShop charts in an apparent move to hide shovelware | VGC (www.videogameschronicle.com)

Following Switch‘s recent software update, Nintendo has changed the way the sales charts on the eShop are calculated. Now, instead of counting the number of games sold over the past 48 hours and using that to rank the charts, it instead charts revenue across the previous 72 hours.

This means that games with rock-bottom pricing will no longer show up on the charts, as a $1 game would have to sell 60 copies to match one $60 game sold.

Bring back the Nintendo seal of quality.

The Nintendo Seal of Quality is literally what saved gaming after Atari shit the bed and shovelware almost destroyed the industry. It's ironic, then, that one of the biggest problems with Nintendo now is a store full of shovelware trash.
