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.

Every time I open up eShop I am astonished how the main place where I am supposed to pay money to Nintendo is literally the slowest, most annoying and unresponsive thing on Switch. I am literally astonished at how they have managed to make it that bad.

God help you if you page too far into the results. Eventually it will just run out of memory and crash.

Yeah. And the lack of a decent option off device. I was trying to check if a first party game was on sale on the Mar 10 day sales and it a nightmare from my phone. If there is a way to just look at “Nintendo” games I could not find it.

Let's hope they improve it for Switch 2.
