Nintendo adds ‘Trending by Play Time’ charts to Switch eShop

Nintendo has added a new chart section to the Nintendo Switch eShop, “Trending by Play Time” is a chart of games with the longest average playtime over the past two weeks. 

Games must be played by over 1000 or more people to get on the charts. At the moment, we have a surprising game in the first position, Disgaea 4. The next ones are the newly released Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. No doubt they’d be in the first position if they were just one game. 

To find the charts, like all things on the eShop, they’re a little hard to find but head to the Discover (or Featured) section and scroll right to the bottom.
