Your 'Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2023' Stats Are Available Now

These are fun until you see how much time you have "wasted" on the switch... (time to go back to playing)

36 games played with 747 Hours logged.

Top 3 most played games are Zelda TOTK, Pokémon Violet and Fire Emblem Engage.

That's over 2000 hours played this year when combined with my PlayStation 5 play time 😅

Nintendo's Russian website was deleted, so, my stats are unavailable. Yeah, I have second account, a North American one, but for now, I use it only to buy games.
Edit: But, I do count how many hours I've put into playing games on Switch... And this amount is disappointingly small, imo. Approximately 301 hours... That sucks... Also, I've spent ±95 hours only in NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition alone...

Zelda with 173 hours. The next highest number was Ring Fit with 30. Sounds about right. I love that Nintendo does this, although I wish we had access to playtime tools like this any time we wanted, not just at the end of the year.

Yes! I always look forward to these

I swear I saw Splat 3 in every category talk about an addiction

I got nervous when I saw my xbox stats but no. Been mostly on switch.

39 games played
950 hours played

Top games are

TOTK: 219 h
Fire Emblem Engage: 203 h (started the year playing FE3H too lol)
SoS: Olive Town: 196h

That tracks, but also means I still haven’t found a fighting game that engrosses me on switch. ….which sucks. (I am not fishing for suggestions just making an observation.)
I can see when starfield came out because only 30 hours in September (I put 392h into starfield mostly in September).

Just based on my xbox stats Coral Island will be big for me once it drops on switch.

207 total hours. 58 on Disney Speedstorm. 51 on Disney Dreamlight Valley. 27 on Zelda. 14 on Pokemon Violet. 12 on Diablo 3. 11 on Fire Emblem Engage. 4 on Hogwarts Legacy.

I'll check later what mine looks like. Though the only games released this year I've played are Metroid Prime Remastered, Disney Speedstorm, F-Zero 99 and, if you want to be pedantic, Arcade Archives: Tetris: The Absolute - The Grand Master 2 Plus and Sonic Origins Plus.
I'm pending to play Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Super Mario RPG, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe and Sonic Superstars.

The first quarter of 2023 was dedicated to the 3DS and Wii U for the imminent closure of the past eShops. Only starting on April 2023, my Switch got some attention.

158 hours: Tears of the Kingdom
55 hours: Pikmin 4

Those are basically the only Switch games I played this year.

@Fizza I played Splatoon every month this year and it was my most played for 6 months so that’s literally half the year 😂 Now I understand why people sank so much time into Splatoon 2 way before I got 3

I played 13 games for a total of 406 hours, which is not that much really. My top three games were:
Tears of the Kingdom: 142 hours
Pokemon Violet: 71 hours
Final Fantasy VI: 63 hours

Games played: about 30 excluding NSO trials
Total hours spent playing: 469
Game played the most: Celeste (72 hours)
Favorite game of the year: Celeste
Favorite game of all time: Celeste

"This page is down"

I don't recall playing that game

edit:
Now i got through, 171h in TotK, 131h in MK8DX and 99h in Octopath Traverler 2
On my Switch it says I played TotK for 140h and Octopath Traveler 2 for 75h. Interesting

1352 hours, 47 games. 214 hours on zelda.
Someone explain me how I was able to put all these hours with a job, a moving out and other hobbies lol

Wow Tactics Ogre Reborn eeked out a close win over Street fighter for me, had no idea. Great year of gaming looking back

@Ryu_Niiyama «That tracks, but also means I still haven’t found a fighting game that engrosses me on switch. ….which sucks.»
Huh? What's about: BLAZBLUE CENTRALFICTION Special Edition, UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[cl-r], Guilty Gear XX ΛCore Plus R, Phantom Breaker: Omnia, Persona4 The ULTIMAX ULTRA SUPLEX HOLD, Melty Blood: Type Lumina?

My most played for the year was Pokemon Scarlet then the N64 app.

I put in a massive 39 hours of play time into my switch.

PlayStation: 1156h,162 games
Nintendo: 39h, 5 games
Microsoft: 🤷🏻‍♂️ I started and the gave up on Starfield

Just my main user. 149 hours overall and I've spent 71 hours playing Live A Live. I played 10 games. This reminds me that I need to get back to some games, like RainCode and Tales of Vesperia. I spent 18 hours altogether in Famicom Detective Club. 16 hours in World's End Club. The hours are out of date for Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection, I've spent way more than 1 hour in that. Damn, that first percentage is utterly, well, wacky. 47% RPG and most of that must be Live A Live. 24% Action being Hades, No More Heroes, and Mega Man Zero. Narrative Adventure 15% and Adventure 13%, but those are functionally interchangeable. Tales of Vesperia might be RPG or Action, so not sure on that. I'm just confused about Board Game(1%), though. Must be just that Danganronpa dumb thing.

710h, 47 games (ToTK 130h, XC3 100h and Cities skylines 80h).
Despite being nearly half of my 2022 playtime, it competes with the previous year as my best gaming year ever. ToTK and XC3:FR are some of the best experiences i ever had.

286 games, 1437 hours. Try THAT on desktops and home consoles, especially in your thirties.

500 hours is pretty good for me, but work has stopped me playing more, and my 3DS has lost out a bit this year too.

Work bit a bit harder in September which has cost me some hours 😒

This vote could have gone to a number of games - I tend to enjoy nearly everything I play in their own special ways. Honorable mentions go Pokémon Violet, Mega Man 11, Portal, but ultimately I've returned to Tears of the Kingdom recently after pausing at 80 hours months back, and am really enjoying it again after that break. Plenty of December hours not being accounted for in this review.

@Vyacheslav333 you quoted me but ignored what I said. I didn’t say I couldn’t find fighting games on switch. I said I couldn’t find anything that engrosses me. Most of what you listed (biased to 2D by the way) I played during their prime. Good games but not where I am spending most of my time.

This year I explored a game series I should have a long time ago, and now it’s one of my favorite series ever! Safe to say I really loved this year! I also definitely played more ps5 this year judging by my play time.

I also want to give a special thanks to @Eagly_lmtd_xmasskin if it wasn’t for them I probably wouldn’t have ever tried the series out! So thank you.

245 games for a total of 1,371 hours.

Thank you Persona 5 and Persona 5 only for making 11% of my playtime "RPGs". I feel like I've come very far this year😂

100 Hours on TOTK.

You played
63 total games
536 total hours
on Nintendo Switch this year!

Most played games:
Zelda BOTW 131 hours
Zelda TOTK 89 hours
Pokemon Scarlet 85 hours (not my total playtime).

Yey!

@Ryu_Niiyama «Most of what you listed (biased to 2d by the way) I played during their prime.»
Oh, then, okay...

86 games played for a total of 1500 hrs.
Most played is SPLATOON 3!?! What? It came out last year! Somehow I've accumulated 293 hours, what's going ON?
Anyway, it's closely followed by the stellar TotK, which I've enjoyed for 274 hours, a large portion of which in May. And I'm still only at 65% completion rate. Dear Lord!

Played 811 hours across 68 games.

Most played:

1. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - 229 hours
2. Splatoon 3 - 181 hours
3. Rune Factory 4 Special - 45 hours

TOTK is my favorite.

24 total games and 408 total hours on switch
Most played games:
Fire emblem engage 92 hours
Dark souls remastered 55 hours
The Legend of Zelda: TOTK 36 hours

This was my favorite year with my switch. I made many great memories thanks Nintendo! Although now that I got my steam deck and with no interesting games on the horizon my gametime with it will be much less next year.

@Vyacheslav333 I’m not trying to be dismissive, as I know fighting game fans love to turn folks on to the games they love(one of the things I love about the FGC). But I simply was making an observation based on how I know I spend my time playing and I wasn’t asking for suggestions. I usually just play VF5 C and FS on my 360 and ultra street fighter IV and soul calibur vi (on series x). Or tatsunoko vs Capcom on my wiiu. I have other games I play but those are my staples. Either way none of those are on switch.

Oh boy... 666 games played a total of 1,805 hours! Top 3: TOTK 336 hrs, BOTW 138 hrs, and Advance Wars 1+2 65 hrs.
Metroid Dread was number 1 in January, the Metroid Prime won February, then Return to Dreamland Deluxe won March. So many awesome games this year. It's kinda too bad about Tears of the Kingdom being so good. Pikmin 4 and other excellent titles massively lost out on playtime due to the joy of exploring Hyrule.

Splatoon 3 737 Hours

Nintendo Switch Sports 42 Hours

Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE 39 Hours

No surprise Theaterhyrhm is my most played, clocking in about 70 hours. This year’s been quite a bit on the PS5, so not as much on the ol’ Switch.

My top three most played for the year:
1. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
2. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
3. Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

All three around 50-60 hour mark.

My results across all three consoles in hours.
Switch 450
Series x 230
PS5 35

Switch had a fantastic year for me as you can see from the above.
I will say however I think Nintendo have left Switch 2 too late. My analysis shows the last two months apart from Mario Wonder has Series x above Switch. But of course not for the whole year as seen above.
Switch 2 with new games should have either released this November 2023 or latest March 2024.
Sales in the Switch console apart from Japan are showing this as well.
So my analysis is showing a sharp move in hours played to series x for later in 2023.

If I invest more in Xbox eco system the move will take me further away from Switch and if Switch 2 is not out until maybe October 2024, it could be hard for Nintendo to get me back into its eco system.

Big mistake Nintendo if later than March 2024 for Switch 2.

I'm seeing a lot of rookie numbers in the comments. Pathetic.

1,166 hrs.

72 games played.

#1: Tears of the Kingdom - 208 hrs.
#2: Disney Speedstorm - 129 hrs.
#3: NSO - Game Boy Advance

177 hrs. played in June.

That doesn't even count my total play time on 3DS and PS5, which is probably another 200 hours or more.

On 3DS, I beat Dragon Quest VIII which was about 80 hrs among some smaller eShop titles.

On PS5, I beat Kingdom Hearts, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Jak II, Tchia, Spider-Man, and I think at the beginning of the year was when I played through both Psychonauts games and the entire Sly Cooper quadrilogy, but I honestly can't quite remember. I may have started both series in late 2022. If you count games played for the first time even if they didn't release this year, Psychonauts 2 and Sly 2 take the cake. Absolutely adored everything about them.

Favorite Switch game? Probably got the most enjoyment out of MK8 DX with the Booster Course Pass.

As far as games that actually released this year on Switch, my favorite is probably either Kirby's Return to Dream Land DX or Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Honorable mentions include: Super Mario RPG, Clive 'N' Wrench, We Love Katamari, Sonic Superstars, and Dragon Quest Monsters

I hardly sunk any time at all into WarioWare, so I can't fairly rank it. I also haven't picked up Hogwarts Legacy yet, which may very well have been one of my favorites, hard to say.

Biggest disappointments were Tears of the Kingdom and SpongeBob: The Cosmic Shake

No single game was absolutely mind-blowing or anything, but I was more than content as there was a good spread of really solid titles throughout the year.

2024 is already shaping up to potentially be even better, with Paper Mario: TTYD and Penny's Big Breakaway being my two most anticipated. I also think Luigi's Mansion 2 gets way too much hate and am looking forward to replaying it alongside Mario vs. DK and the Splatoon 3 DLC. Hopefully there will be plenty more surprises in store.

@Snatcher Your image upload hasn't worked and you didn't mention what the series was! I'm on tenterhooks! I'm guessing either Splatoon or Xenoblade Chronicles.

@Ryu_Niiyama Wow, them some heavy numbers in Starfield. What did you make of it ultimately? I've heard various views on it but haven't looked too deeply yet.

@120frames-please 666 games? Take away your top 3 games that's an average of two hours spent on each of the other 663 games lol, do you just try games out and move on or are the majority of these just short indies?

323 hours in TOTK, and 28hrs in Link's Awakening...no other games played this year!

@gcunit wanna talk in the xbox thread?

I like this year-end wrap-up thing, but if they have data on what days we played, how much time we played games each month and total etc, why can’t that level of minutiae be shared with us via our Switch like the 3DS’s Activity Log app? It just feels scummy for them to have info on us that they don’t at least make easily accessible for us.

Nice, after playstation we're getting nintendo years in reviews

My first game in 2023 is deedlit in wonder labyrinth, most played games astalon tears of the earth, metroid prime remastered and ninja saviors return of the warrior (I like to replay the game since it's so fun to play).

@TotalHenshin Man 3DS activity log app is so good, it's really gave us detailed views of our gaming time on the console, I wish switch or at least switch 2 will have app like that.

It's kind of funny our old console is more feature complete than the new one, my new 2ds xl and ps4 have true folders on homescreen while switch and ps5 don't.

2,681 hours across 45 games.

TotK: 759 hrs
Hyrule Warriors DE: 187 hrs
FE Engage: 181 hrs.

37 games, 236 hours:

TotK: 126 hours
Dead Cells: 27 hours
Pokemon Violet: 19 hours
Game Boy (almost entirely Pokemon TCG): 12 hours
Risk of Rain Returns: 10 hours

Nothing else over 3 hours. RoRR came out on November 12th, so having it be fifth is pretty amusing to me.

How do you guys upload your pictures?

For me it was 890 hours across 45 games.

#1 TotK - 229 hours
#2 Persona 5 Royal - 159 hours
#3 Theatrhythm Final Bar Line - 131 hours

I’m curious about Anti Matter’s stats

141 games, 353 hours.. dave the diver most...

I had 1,143 hours over 47 games. The number of games was super surprising! Pretty sure I dipped into a bunch that I subsequently never touched again lol

Zelda was number one, as was expected. 156 hours. Next was the GBA app at 130, then Fire Emblem Engage at 118. The GBA is my favourite system of all time, so I'm not surprised it's that high. More games pls

299 hours total, of which 168 hours Bad North. Just got a switch last Christmas. Also have 2 kids now…

282 hrs, 29 games

Zelda, FF Final Bar Line, and FE Engage were my top 3

671 hours! But does that count YouTube because I spent a ridiculous amount of time on that, more so than any game I've played 😂😅 spent the most time on Harvestella. Then Kirby and the Forgotten Land, purely because my father insists on seeing the boi for a little while each day 🙂

@Ryu_Niiyama If Nintendo Switch had more 3D (graphics) fighting games (like Virtua Fighter or SoulCalibur, yeah), and, what's most importantly, good optimized 3D fighting games, I would like to recommend some of those, lol. But, there's no TEKKEN, SoulCalibur, nor Virtua Fighter games on Switch. No normal Dead or Alive games... Nintendo Switch is very good for 2D graphics fighting games, but for 3D ones... I don't want to remember how laughably bad Fighting EX Layer: Another Dash looks on Switch in handheld mode. I don't want to remember how disappointingly bad JJBA: All Star Battle R looks on Switch in handheld mode. Switch version is the only one version that received downgrades(!) in graphics... It is one of the worst ports of 3D fighting games on Switch. But, all 3D graphics fighting games on Nintendo Switch looks too much blurry. And, that sucks. That's why I stopped care about 3D fighting games on Switch.

@Yoshif3 I have to ask to ease my curiosity, I respect that you have an agenda against the latest Zelda games due to not following the linear designs of the older titles, I respect your view but looking at your play time of TOTK that's not a stat someone who doesn't like the game would have. That's twice mine and I enjoyed the game, surely there's things in the game you enjoyed to continue playing for so long.

Also how is FF Theatrhythm on switch, I played the 3DS version all those years ago but seems like it would be difficult to control without the stylus and touchscreen.

Switch Year in Review 2023:

Total games played: 54 Total hours played: 224

Top Three Most Played Games:

Tears of the Kingdom: 76 hours Persona 5 Royal: 24 hours Splatoon 3: 20 hours

Xbox Year in Review 2023:

Total time played: 156 hours Total games: 5 Total achievements: 77

Games played: Elden Ring, Psychonauts 2, Stray, Red Dead Redemption 2, Starfield

380 hours of total gaming on Switch and Xbox. Add in emulation on my computer and it's probably around 420 or so. In a way, I'm glad that number wasn't higher? Meant I was living a more balanced life? I don't know...

@KryptoniteKrunch I think you win the comment section.

Most played games:
1. Animal Crossing (148h)
2. LoZ Tears of the Kingdom (120h)
3. Legends Arceus (113h)

Total 638 hours.

Also not really surprising, I have completed the Pokédex in PLA this year including getting the Shiny charm. And I play at a snail's pace. LoZ TotK still needs to be finished. Animal Crossing is mostly daily activities.

Honestly Legends Arceus is my favorite Pokémon game on Switch. And it really shows in the amount of time I spend in the game. I do hope GameFreak continues this "sub"-series on the next gen.

@Vyacheslav333 Yeah, that's one of those genres, alongside sports games, that the Switch doesn't do very well.

@kingbk Well, Nintendo Switch is fine with 2D graphics fighting games. Only 3D graphics fighting games on Switch sucks.

I put 130 hours into labyrinth of galaria......

@Kirbysonic It does if you watch YT on Switch

For the second year in a row mine says:
Unable to display content.
Oh no! We don't see enough play data on this Nintendo Account to continue this experience.

Not sure why this is happening on my account. I played just as much this year and last year as I did 2 years ago when it showed the stats.

@UltimateOtaku91 please let’s not go there.

But I’ll answer it in the most pacific way.
I’ve been a Zelda fan since I was 5, playing the first Zelda on the NES. I’ve 100% every single Zelda after it. I’ve played every single weird Zelda game available, including the Game & Watch, the Coleico Watch, both Tingle games and the N64 tech demos. Why would I break my streak with this one?

I came to my conclusion that I hated this Zelda AFTER playing the game. If I didn’t play the game to completion then I would just be trolling.
I know what I criticize because I consumed it.
To know you didn’t like some food you have to first eat it.
229 hours was the total time it took me to 100% the game (bar the 1000+ Koroks because why bother for a useless golden poop?)…. Did I enjoy some hours of the game? Of course
Did I enjoyed my total 229 hours of the game? Absolutely not.
Sometimes you enjoy your job, doesn’t mean you enjoy every single hour of it.

Hopefully that clears some questions.

@Yoshif3 That's perfectly fine I wasn't trying to start something, can understand your view better now when you comment towards the game.

1. Tears of the Kingdom
2. Theatrhythm
3. Pokemon Arceus

@UltimateOtaku91 no, it’s ok. Thanks for keeping it civil. It’s just that maybe I didn’t want to enter into TotK territory here.

It’s not like I loathe the game. There were things I genuinely liked about it. But not enough to advocate for the series to go forward in this direction for the next entries.
Anyway, TotK was a Zelda experience I had to play through and through. I’ve been doing that for 36 years.

But anyway, changing topic.
Persona 5 was such an experience, the narrative kept me on the edge of my seat… I can’t believe I had it in my backlog since the PS3.

And Theatrhythm has such an oustanding content of music that it became one of the surprises of my year. Ahh just read your edit.
Theatrhythm was really good with controls. I had the exact same doubts like you because I loved the 3DS ones and I was worried something would be lost without the touch controls. If you loved the other ones you’ll love this one as well.
Obviously nothing compares to keeping rhythm with a touchscreen but nothing of significance is lost in this one, you’ll grow on it.

What were your surprises of the year?

Quite good year for me. 665 hours across 36 games.

1. Splatoon 3: 215 hours
2. Tears of the Kingdom: 180 hours (still need to complete it...)
3. Mega Man Zero / ZX Legacy Collection: 50 hours

Surprised I put that much time into the Mega Man collection, but I guess it was 6 great games (Zero 3 being my favorite).

The only months where Splatoon didn't have the most playtime were April (Xenoblade 3 DLC obsession), May-July (Zelda) and August (Pikmin).

Shoutout to Pikmin 4, ended up being my favorite this year with Mario Wonder right behind it.

I'm so mad that Xenoblade 2 in 2023 was still in my top 3 because of Torna. I have spent too much of my life on this one game.

I guess I didn't play a ton of long games beyond it and TOTK because N64 NSO was the 3rd game. Not too surprising because of how much time I spent on Goldeneye and OOT.

I played 4 Switch games for a total of 130 hours.

My top 3 most played are:
1) Monster Hunter Rise
2) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3) WarioWare: Get It Together

Monster Hunter was the bulk of my Switch time at 93 hours. And the other Switch game I played was Suika Game (that watermelon game).

(Dunno how to post pics)

38 different games played
1,402 hours total

Most played games-
1. Fire Emblem Engage- 396 hours
2. Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch- 105 hours
3. Chained Echoes- 92 hours

Engage and WotWW were indeed my favorite games I played/genuinely enjoyed this year. Whilst I did enjoy Chained Echoes, it probably wasn't in my top 5 favorite games I played this year. Engage has become my favorite game of all time. Addicted, I know~

700+ hours. Totk, and FE Engage were my big time sinks. Overall, phenomenal year for the switch.

1) totk 133hrs
2) FE Engage 63hrs
3) chained echoes 41hrs

Favorite game was Zelda, go figure. Least Favorite was Advance Wars. Didn't even feel like firing up the 2nd game. That style of strategy game is not my cup of tea unfortunately. First game I played was sports story which, I got a full refund on. Horrible broken mess. Had a great year otherwise.

27 hours for me. I knew I’d not played a lot this year, but shocked it’s that low. 12 hours of Mario 3D World which was my Christmas 2022 game, 7 hours of Pokemon Scarlet, 3 hours of Pokemon Violet and 4 hours of Animal Crossing.

@KryptoniteKrunch that's some serious TOTK timeage! So easy to while away hours in that game...

@BIG3 No but I do change my region to buy games cheaper from other eShops, maybe that's it. Didn't do that until last year which may explain why I got the stats in 2021. Still don't understand why that might cause me to have no stats, I always change my region back to UK after purchasing so 99% of my play time would be on that.

Mine says 67 games with 1,068 hours.
That's more than I was expecting! I guess I've been playing a lot, huh.

My most-played three are:
Tears of the Kingdom (of course) with 368 hours
Lacrimosa of Dana with 109 hours
Pikmin 4 with 95 hours.

I decided to select Pikmin 4 as my "favourite game"

@Yoshif3 Ah I see so you've been playing the Zelda games from the beginning whereas I started playing them from the Wii generation with Twilight Princess being my first ever Zelda. I kinda love both the old and new designs and currently playing through Links Awakening Remake whilst the misses reads me a guide 😂 I don't want to miss anything.

That's good to hear about Theatrhythm and it's definitely on my list of games to get next, I tried to get into the Kingdom hearts rhythm game but just couldn't get into like I did with the Theatrhythm games. Also fully agree with Persona 5, such a huge step up from the previous Persona games, definitely one of the best JRPG's ever. You playing the original or Royal?

I think the surprises of the year for me have been Pikmin 4 and Master Detective Archives. I didn't expect to enjoy Pikmin 4 as much as I did as I never really took interest in the Pikmin games, I used to see them back in the day and think it looked silly but I decided to properly give it a try and found it to be a fun and relaxing with no urgency so I could take my time and get everything.

How about you?

@UltimateOtaku91 I played Royal… bought the normal one on PS3 so long ago but never found the time for it, so I decided to give it a chance with the extra content on Switch. The narrative is spectacular.

How are Master Detective Archives? I’ll have to give it a look. My biggest surprise was Warioware Move It just because it gave me memories of playing the Wii game with college friends. A bit of simplistic and stupid fun.

1st, Persona 4 Golden. 2nd, Persona 3 Portable. 3rd, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Vol. 1.

Yeah, sounds about right. Persona and Mega Man were my main focus this year.

I’ve somehow managed to play 48 games but only 140 hrs 🤷🏻‍♂️😆 and 42 of those hours was totk.

282 total hours played! Down from previous years but I still had a lot of fun.

My most-played games were:
1. Dead By Daylight (82 hours)
2. Fire Emblem Engage (48 hours)
3. Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Anniversary Edition (23 hours)

@jimbob298 Im an idiot. I logged into the wrong account. Lol.

My most played is...
Tears of the Kingdom
177 Hours

Persona 5 Royal
138 Hours

Xenoblade 3
74 Hours

I just have a question though, for next years games will it show games that I played in late December?

I still cannot get verification code from my email.
Did I miss something?

Total playtime: 433hrs

Most played this year

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

• 287 hours

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

• 33 hours

Metroid Prime Remastered
31 hours

239 hours in TOTK. Yup, that sure tracks for 6 months of my year 🤣

@Fizza lol 160 hours of splatoon for me, and I’m a newcomer to the series. proves that splatoon is one of nintendos best franchises. Also just curious how do you put photos into NL comments???

1. AEW Fight Forever - 50 hours which is surprising since i didn't really even care for it that much
2. Final Fantasy X - 34 hours
3. TR: Final Bar Line - 29 hours
75 games played
296 hours total playtime

@Fizza Thanks!
My year in review: 1,135 hours in TOTAL
Most played game: Splatoon 3 (158 hours)
Second: Minecraft (148 hours)
Third: Animal Crossing: New Horizons (102 hours)
Over 31 games played
My hours are rather high since I don’t have any other consoles (other than an old sega master system)

I somehow spent 776 hours on Switch this year -_-
It's mostly TOTK and Splatoon, but I was surprised by my third most played game, Disco Elysium.

@CammyUnofficial

Which Street Fighter are you playing? And which is your favorite?
SF 30th was high up in my year end too.

2 games for a total of 120 hours
TotK: 102 hrs
Monster Hunter GU: 17 hrs

Not bad I was expecting way lower cause I rarely use my switch. But MHGU is definitely getting way more hours in next year once I really get into the meat of the game. Can't wait especially since MH Wilds is getting closer and closer

Top 3
1. Fire Emblem Engage
2. Danganronpa V3
3. Gameboy Advance Online.

Nothing crazy for me.

The first game that I played on my Switch in 2023 was Melatonin. Which it said was a “Great start!” but I’d say it’s more of a decent start if anything.

Games played: 68
With a total of 842 hours

My most played games being:
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
(326 hours)
—————————————————
Fire Emblem Engage
(147 hours)
—————————————————
Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE
(61 hours)

How do I add images when commenting on here?

I am genuinely jealous of the amount of free time some of you have, lol.

@Yoshif3 try quoting someone who added a picture and then you can see the code

@Lightsiyd I forgot to put you name in the above comment

9 total games=739 hours

I could've sworn I was a responsible adult this year...

1) Splatoon 3- 317 hours
2) Breath of the Wild- 109 hours
3) Tears of the Kingdom- 101 hours (in progress)

4) F-Zero 99- 58 hours
5) Tetris 99- 55 hours
6) Animal Crossing- 37 hours
7) Smash Bros.- 33 hours
8) Splatoon 2- 11 hours
8) Mario Kart 8 DX- 11 hours

Including my PlayStation hours, I have 127 hours on Tekken 7 and 46 hours in Spider-Man 2 totaling to 913 hours altogether.

What happened to me this year?!

@FawfulsFury How do I quote someone who added a picture?

@FawfulsFury thanks

I played TotK 11x longer than any other game.

What a year!

@Olrun very little sleep.

Bit late with this, but:

586 Hours total play time over 36 games.

Most Played Games:

1. Persona 3 Portable - 152 Hours
1. Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - 152 hours
2. Persona 4 Golden - 128 Hours

Added with my PS5 time, that is 1207 hours. Add another 100 or so for 3DS, and that is 1307ish hours.

@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah, there's many games I try briefly, sometimes very briefly (like if the frame rate has problems). Also, I've played more like 700 plus games cuz I use two other users on my Switch, one for my Japanese store buying account and one for demos or likely crappy games that I don't want a game save stored for on my main account. Plus I play many, many hours of Rocket League on my laptop (and now also on OLED Deck). If I didn't love Rocket League so much TOTK would probably have over 600 hours.

Slow year on Switch for me.

Only 95 hours, but 31 of that was MK8 which I haven't actually played - my son uses my profile to play on his Switch.

It also says I played 15 games, but looking at the list, I only actually played 9 of them - as well as MK8 mentioned above, the others look like stuff my kids started on my profile by mistake.

I've been playing 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim on Switch in Dec though, so that's about 30h more.
About 230h on Xbox, and a fair bit on older games too (3DS, DS, Analogue Pocket).

53 total games
1,144 hours put in

Warframe:652
ToTK: 186
DQ XI S: 90

I still can't get verification code from my email when I tried to participate.
Did I still miss something?
Also, currently I don't subscribe on NSO.

16 games, 477h

Top 3

TotK 174h
Harvestella 70h
F-Zero 99 49h

(I bought Harvestella on last christmas)

Then it's random hours between MK8, AC and some smol games.

Here's a shot at it...

@JohnnyMind Doesn't seem to be working

I love the Switch's years in review. How nice to see everybody sharing their gaming history.

So I started the year with Shredder's Revenge, which was great indeed.
I played 46 games for 1,420 hours. Seems a bit much, more than last year. But I have played many great games indeed.

Most played are:

1. Hyrule Warriors AoC 135h
2. Tetris 99 122h
3. Hatsune Miku rythm game 117h

44% action, and most played in May/October 167h.
I just started TotK, so this will likely be next year's most played. Just at 40h for now.

@Anti-Matter there is an option to share your data with Nintendo. Only after this is activated, the year in review starts recording.

254 hours Total playtime, I'm not sure how, sure doesn't feel like it with full time work and two little kiddos.

• Biggest chunk being 120hrs is TOTK which I ought to go back and finish
• Just shy of 50hrs in Pokemon Scarlet - first time I've finished a pokedex in years, might even get the DLC
• GBA think it was Minish Cap I played and finished, what a treat
• Prime would have been the next one and the only other completion I've seen this year

@KryptoniteKrunch I'm curious, are you done with HW DE or still playing it?
Absolutely loved that game btw.

@KryptoniteKrunch Damn dude. That's over 7 hours a day. I don't need to scroll anymore. You win 🤘

574 hours on Grindstone. Almost exactly the same in 2022 (my total is 1300). I love the daily leaderboards and I can play it whilst watching TV. 318 hours on TotK. I literally played nothing else in May and June. Binding of isaac. I played it on vita, then PS4, then starting again, still clocked 74 hours on the Switch.

@msvt ahhh I'm on the 30th train too. My hours have definitely dropped from years past as I don't hop online nearly as much, but still love the arcades and occasional hour online. All of them are deep, if I had to choose I'd say Alpha 3 but honestly I'd play any, anytime. How about you?

1046 hours played this year 😳

25 games for a total of 764 hours.

Most played were Retro Bowl, Tears of the Kingdom, and Hexceed. (I tend to listen to podcasts or 'music' while playing Retro Bowl and Hexceed.)

I especially like how both January and August didn't even register and only 1 hour in February.

My most played games this year were:

Octopath Traveler II 147hrs

Atelier Ryza 3 140hrs

Mary Skelter 2 93hrs (still playing this though)

@CammyUnofficial
Finally after 30 years or so of trying, finally started getting the hang of SF, proper fighting instead of frustration. I prefer SF3, I like 2nd wave a lot, and I know 3rd strike is the best but my skill still not there.

Always loved SF and glad I can start to speak the language more. I can't do well at all on any of the earlier games, though I do like the 3 aplha's too, but SF3's have easier footsies for me since I can't nail specials every time.

I have to ask, what is your preferred controller method? I finally settled on the Snes Switch controller after trying the 8 bit, the zelda joy con. and the pro controller (which turns my hadoken into a meat grinder for my hand).

I bought Ultimate SF2 for a few days too.. I liked the way it felt but there was not much for me to do that wasn't already in the 30th collection so I sold it.

I've only worked on single player, usually in table top mode (looks awesome on oled!) - I'd get butchered online anyway!

#1 the Binding of isaac
526 hours.

Not surprised. I love that game so much and play every day pretty much guaranteed.

489 hours in total, 11 games.

241 in TOTK (loved every minute of it and so pleased I got my fill before my son arrived!)

173 in violet (mostly spent building a shiny competitive team, competitive play and shiny hunting, looking forward to diving into the dlc this Xmas with them)

34 hours in Digimon survive (liked this a lot more than I thought and was a great game to refresh me after TOTK insanity for most of the year)

Elsewhere, 73 hours on PS5 for P5R and I feel like I’ve still got ALOT of game left 😅

What a year for gaming!
