Ended up hitting a wall with Hades (started going backwards and dying to things I was previously clearing), when my friend made me aware of the God mode setting. When enabled I think it gives you a 15 percent damage reduction, which then increases by a couple of percent every time you die, which carries over between runs. I think it caps out at 80% I think.
It still took me to like 30 percent, unlocking the ability transform weapons and unlocking my third death defiance to beat that second boss I originally reached and almost beat without any accessibility modes enabled. Kinda frustrating, but progressing through the game means more to me than some sort of weird stubborn pride and just being stuck forever.
Sadly, I basically went all in to get through that second boss, so by the time I got to the third area I basically had nothing left. I did beat the first mini-boss in that third zone, but then died to trash as I had no health or restarts. I do think if I can make it just a little further next time I can unlock a vendor who will reset my death defiances, to give me more chances to push forwards without the fear of death resetting my runs.
Main release in April, Switch release in... July? Just 90 days later? Am I the only one who finds that just a tad odd?
Most Switch delayed releases come 6-9 months after the fact to provide time to port the game over. Not always- there have been times Switch received a game just a few months after. But it's usually a longer wait than 90 days.
Now.
Other systems release before May and Zelda TotK. Switch version is scheduled for after May and Zelda TotK. Coincidence? Maybe. It absolutely could just be coincidence.
Or, it could be that an extremely demanding AAA game is getting a dual release on a new Switch that will be out by July.
Keep hype in check. I am personally more than prepared for another 2 years without a jump in hardware power. But I am increasingly suspicious as more and more circumstantial evidence seems to, at the very least, continually fail to rule the possibility out.

@Pizzamorg my Switch restropective for 2022 said Animal Crossing New Horizon, Kirby and the Forgotten Land e Metroid Dread as my most played game for this, 3+ for Animal Crossing New Horizon, @JaxonH oh you have similar taste to me, i am a huge action and plataform fan.
Xenoblade chronicles 3 was my most played, and for good reason. Only 8% of strategy games for me, which I'd like to up in 2023. Good start with FE Engage ☺️
@NintendoByNature
Ya, I was surprised Strategy only accounted for 5% of my playtime. Then again, with hundreds of hours in Monster Hunter, another 100+ in Splatoon, 100+ in Xenoblade, and 20-30 in various games all over the place, I suppose the measly 25 hrs of Triangle Strategy didn't amount to much. And Mario Rabbids got put on hold after just 10 hrs due to Persona 5 Royal and Bayonetta 3.
But yes, as you said, 2023 will be off to a good start with Fire Emblem Engage. And time to revisit Mario Rabbids and top off Triangle Strategy.

Found this video which is kind of a discussion of how good the game is, but from the perspective of the original that was stranded on PSP for so long, and then compared to the remakester.
It's a good watch.

@JaxonH I played through triangle strategy, and sparks of hope, so I'm surprised it didn't account for more now that I think about it. MHR is where all your action is coming from. With FE, metal slug tactics, and hopefully AW 1+2 next year, it'll be strategy goodness for sure.
Weirdly my genre of the year was Adventure, not action and adventure, just straight adventure? Do I even play adventure games? I wonder what they are counting as adventure games.
Apparently my most played games of the year are the NSO N64 app, Pokemon Legends Arceus and Switch Sports. Which makes sense. I honestly haven't played much Switch this year excluding Arceus at the start of the year, a fair bit of N64 games (Paper Mario!) and recently Bayonetta. Beat Sabre would be my most played game of the year, by a large margin

My most played game of the year is unsurprisingly MK8 Deluxe, my usage of that game massively increased since the Booster Course Pass was announced such that it overtook MK8 (Wii U) as my most played game on a Nintendo platform earlier this month.
Super Nintendo World opens at Universal Studios Hollywood on February 17th:
I'd imagine if new hardware is coming in May, it'll be announced before this and the Nintendo promotion is from all angles. General Direct with new hardware reveal, Theme Park opens, Mario Movie airs, TotK info blowout, etc.
I was keen to learn more about Mato Anomalies. A cyberpunk themed jrpg isn't something you see everyday. Unfortunately, after just a few minutes of watching gameplay footage...I lost all interest.

Ugh, that'll get real old...really fast.
Edit: Alright, the soundtrack is bringing my interest back a bit. Those low-fi jazzy tracks speak to me.

@JaxonH are you sure about that? Hogwarts Legacy seens to be a very hardware intensive game, i would be suprised if the Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy is a adapted port like Doom Eternal, this game seen more like cloud version to Switch.
Cloud versions are always announced as such to avoid any consumer disappointment or misleading info. Furthermore, there are physical versions for preorder.
So yes, 100% sure.
