Nintendo eShop Charts (Switch): Smash Bros. Ultimate punches back to #1

What it means for gamers: this is the "old games never die, they just get re-downloaded" phenomenon. It's also a reminder that the fastest way to revive a game is: (a) a discount, (b) a content wave, or (c) friends texting "Smash tonight?"

The chart resurgence highlights the enduring appeal of Nintendo's fighting franchise and the cyclical nature of multiplayer game popularity on the platform.
