Viral fruit-puzzler crowned as Nintendo Switch’s most downloaded game in Japan, beating out Zelda and Super Mario

Watermelon Game.

Suika Game, also known as the Watermelon Game that recently went mega-viral, is Nintendo Switch’s most downloaded game in Japan.

The puzzler has players combining various fruits in pursuit of ever-increasing high scores - a sort of twist on Tetris - but it was actually released all the way back in 2021. Despite the deliciously moreish loop, Suika Game only hit the big leagues when waves of virality and Vtubers caused the game’s sales to increase “more than 50,000 times.”
