This is a list of video games for the Nintendo Switch video game console that have sold or shipped at least one million copies. As Nintendo shares the sales of their video games every quarter while most other publishers do not share sales figures per console, this list consists mostly of Nintendo-published titles.

Nintendo Switch, a hybrid home console and handheld device, launched worldwide on March 3, 2017. By the end of 2017, it had outsold the lifetime sales of Wii U, its home console predecessor.[1] In September 2019, Nintendo launched the Nintendo Switch Lite, a handheld-only version of the system. By the end of 2020, total Nintendo Switch family units had outsold the lifetime sales of the Nintendo 3DS, its handheld console predecessor, by selling nearly 80 million units.[2] By June 2022, over 111 million Switches with 863 million copies of games had been sold for the platform.[3] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best-selling game on the platform at over 46 million copies sold.[4] The Mario franchise alone has sold 167.11 million on the Nintendo Switch. The Pokémon franchise has sold 72.73 million, and The Legend of Zelda has sold 41.13 million.
