2021 a été une année très intéressante pour le jeu dans son ensemble. De grands titres sont sortis des trois principales sociétés de consoles, et même le marché des jeux indépendants a brillé d'une manière qui a conduit l'un de leurs titres à être lauréat du jeu de l'année dans certains cas. Mais si vous regardez les classements, en particulier celui qui a été révélé par Famitsu la semaine dernière, vous verrez qu'au Japon en 2021… il était dominé par deux choses. Monster Hunter Rise et la Nintendo Switch.  Comme vous pouvez le voir, le Switch avait une présence DOMINANTE sur leur liste des 100 meilleurs jeux de 2021.
