explaning Bayonetta 3 combo system.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Triangle Strategy
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak (technically DLC, but as fleshed out as a full game, so I'm counting it)
Elden Ring
Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope

Pretty good year, I'd say.

• Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (Switch) ×
• Kirby & the Forgotten Land (Switch) ×
• Astro's Playroom (PS5)
• Stray (Steam)
• Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS5)

× = Actual 2022 game.

My GOTY list for this year looks something like this.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Legend Of Zelda
Pokemon Legends A
Burnout Paradise
Pokemon Snap

I suppose I can jump in on this GOTY train. This is how I would rank my top 5, descending.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (Trials and Tribulations if we're being specific)
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
FTL: Faster Than Light
Splatoon 3
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

This has honestly been one of my best years of gaming ever. Ace Attorney and Majora's Mask have especially resonated with me, even months after playing them. I discovered some new series and genres that I had no idea I liked, such as Visual Novels (Ace Attorney), and SRPGs (Fire Emblem Three Houses). I played Metroid Primes 2 and 3 after Metroid Prime 1 took my GOTY of last year. Even though this year has been a little disappointing for me in terms of new releases, it's been a great opportunity for me to catch up on some older classics. I'm fully prepared for 2023 to bring me all sorts of new releases, like Silksong, TOTK, and Pikmin 4 to fully invest my time in.

FINALLY A NEW AA GAME!

@Fizza The demo for the game is pretty fun... Though the gambling is a little odd since you're like 12 in the game.

I put it in the swag thread but for anybody that is collecting the f4f BOTW statues, Lady Urbosa is up for preorder. Early bird discount is in play. One champion left!

I don't really have a top 5, but I did like Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and I do want to get a hold of Splatoon 3, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Persona 5 Royal, and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. I also played a good amount of Monster Hunter Rise during that NSO game trial, and the more I played it, the more the game began to click with me. I also played a lot of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe this year, thanks to the DLC courses that came out. Definitely looking forward to the next wave and beyond.

@Fizza I wondered how long before someone made that AA joke. : )

I honestly don't understand the title or the description of this video.

Ah yeah, I forgot to mention. I also played quite a bit of Breath of the Wild this year. I haven't finished the game just yet, but without spoiling anything, I did make a lot of progress. That's a game that I definitely want to roll the credits on before Tears of the Kingdom comes out.

@MarioLover92 How are you liking it? Have you played many other 3D Zelda games?

@Kermit1 does this You Tuber live in a rock? don't he know Minecraft is avalible on Switch since may of 2017 and @MarioLove92 how far are you in Breath of the Wild? depeding on how far are you in the game, you can finish it playing it, the release of Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

@Giancarlothomaz All I know is he doesn't speak English and doesn't know much about the Switch. Somehow the video has like 57k views.

@Kermit1 someone need to clarefy this man about Switch current situation, and by the way he talk he see to come from some arabic country, maybe Nintendo presence in arabian countries is not so strong like in europe, america(USA, Brazil e Canada) and asian countries(Japan, China, South Corea)

@StarPoint I love it. I've had the game since 2017 (though not at launch since I didn't have a Switch until late May that year), though I kinda played to explore around Hyrule and get as much spirit orbs as I could before making any more story progress. Not to mention, I was busy with other games that time frame. This year, I returned to the game and I made quite a bit more story progress.

Yes I've played the other 3D Zelda games. I've actually finished Wind Waker on Wii U many years back, and I made a healthy amount of progress in Ocarina of Time on 3DS. I couldn't get into Majora's Mask, unfortunately, and I didn't like the motion controls in Skyward Sword. I haven't put too much time into Twilight Princess, but I'll be sure to play more of it at some point.

@MarioLover92 Awesome! It's my favorite of the 3D Zeldas, so I'm glad you've been making progress in it and are enjoying it.

@Giancarlothomaz I think it's like what you said there, I don't think Nintendo has a strong presence over where he lives, I think if he were to read up on Nintendo Switch he could be a great channel for people of his language/country.

@Kermit1 exactly my troughs
