6) Mario Kart Wii – 37 Million Units Sold
The 10 Best Selling Games of All Time
The most successful spin-off of all time, Mario Kart is an ever-popular force in video gaming. Throughout the years, each Nintendo console has had its own version of the game, and none of them have ever failed to sell in droves. It should come as little surprise that the best selling of them all is on Nintendo’s most popular console.
But ironically, Mario Kart Wii was actually one of the most poorly received titles in the series from a critical perspective. The track selection, poor AI, and lack of free-for-all battle mode didn’t impress, and the game sits on just an 82 Metacritic average. Still, the classic combination of Nintendo’s iconic characters and hilarious karting action made for a multiplayer experience that totally dominated households for an entire console generation.
