Nintendo Switch 2025 'Year In Review' Is Available Now

My most played:

1. Silksong
2. Tears of the Kingdom
3. Mario Galaxy 2
4. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
5. Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo

1) Tears of the Kingdom
2) Breath of the Wild
3) Age of Imprisonment
4) ... and not much else

PSA, this also features individual reviews for every year that you've owned the Switch!

Anyway, my top 3 for this year:

Tears of the Kingdom (121 hrs)
Super Mario Maker 2 (94 hrs)
Pokémon Scarlet (73 hrs)

I had 573 hours last year. Definitely quite active! I believe items #4 and #5 would be Mario Kart World (60 hrs) and DK Bananaza (50 hrs).

1. HITMAN World of Assassination
2. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of
Wisdom

Very nice, my most played games this year are:

1. Cyberpunk 2077
2. Donkey Kong Bananza
3. Dark Souls Remastered
4. Mario Kart World
5. Street Fighter 6

Overall: 612 hours this year

Switch and switch 2 186 hours
PS5 94

Now Xbox are not doing one this year but I know it will be close between Xbox and switch.

Oh well, goes to show Sony are not doing right nowadays.

In the first two years PS5 was first.
Years 3,4 and 5 it’s been Xbox or switch top.

My most played:
1. Silksong
2. Mario Kart World
3. Cuphead

I played/finished Cuphead in the first two months. Played a lot of Mario Kart World in June when the Switch 2 came out. Also liked playing THPS 3+4 on the Switch 2 in July and August. The last 4 months of the year was a lot of Silksong.

Quite the exhaustive look at your gaming history there. Fun scroll through memory lane!

Top 3 most played games, 2025.

1. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
2. Cyberpunk 2077
3. Star Wars Outlaws

Oh, we’re all doing our top 3, huh? Well, mine were
1. Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection
2. Pokemon Legends Z-A
3. Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma

Little surprised DK Bananza didn’t make it in the top 3, but it and Mario Kart were runners up.

1. Tears of the Kingdom
2. Silksong
3. FC 26

I created a new account when Switch 2 dropped in June, so this isn't totally accurate.

I played for 664 hours.

My 3 most played games in order were Mario Kart World (153 hours), Pokémon Legends: Z-A (83 hours), and Donkey Kong Bananza (57 hours).

My favorite game was Deltarune.

Never seen the appeal of this.

Tune in next time to learn of more things I'm not interested in.

678 hours total in 2025. I played more XCX and Splatoon 3 than MKW, but not by as much as I thought. Also, I like that it congratulates me for buying a Switch 2. Makes me feel extra important.

I voted for Bananza as my favorite, though.

My top 3 most played for 2025 were Super Mario Maker 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Super Mario Party Jamboree. 463 total hours for the year.

I played 1108 hours

1. Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel (296 hours)
2. Assassin's Crees Shadows (65 hours)
3. Kirby Air Riders (64 hours, did also spent 17 hours in the online demo which isn't included here)

75 games for 1760 hours

1. Balatro: 358 hours
2. Hello Kitty Island Adventure: 318 hours
3. Vampire Survivors: 265 hours

My stats:

74 games and 1,448 hours

Most played:
1. UFO 50, 225 hours
2. Pokémon Legends Z-A, 169 hours
3. Hollow Knight: Silksong, 145 hours

It seems "RPG" was a highly played genre for me this year since I played Fantasian Neo Dimension in January, Romancing SaGa 2 Revenge of the Seven in February, and Omori in March. (And I 100%ed all three of these games!)

It's really great. They expanded it and show me details about all the years I have my switch now.

1) DK Bananza
2) Mario Kart World
3) Silksong

Sounds about right, though my favourite games I've played this year on my switch/switch 2 are the smaller indies I completed at the begining of the year like Slay the Princess and 1000Xresist.

Top 3 played games were Tokyo Xanadu ex, Hundred Line Last Defence Academy and Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma. First year in a while where a Nintendo IP hasn't been in the top 3. But saying that it doesn't include December which I know i put around 40 hours into Hyrule Warriors.

@Waluigi451 ye that was a nice surprise, wish playstations was as detailed

I played and finished 64 games with a total of 1305 hours.

My top 3 were

Last Faith
Laika, aged through blood
Elliot Quest

My 2025...

95 games and 470 hours!

My most played games...

1) Hades II - 92hrs
2) Smash Bros - 92hrs
3) Fortnite - 52hrs

Action is my genre of choice at 46%, with character driven titles dead last at 4%, which checks out.

9 Years Later...
Smash Bros - 883hrs! 🤯
Animal Crossing - 261hrs!
Vampire Survivors - 121hrs!
BoTW - 117hrs & ToTK -136hrs!

So many games, so little time. 🫠

aw man this is only for EU and NA 😭 But here I'll list some games I like to join in 🤪

1) Silksong
2) Splatoon 3
3) Undertale(definitely not my most played, but as said I'm just listing games I liked)

Favorite game of 2025 was Silksong

I love this! It's never been so fleshed out before.
I played 82 games over 1,007 hours (42 days 😬)
Most played:
1) Silksong
2) Persona 5 Royal
3) Super Smash Bros: Ultimate
First two make sense, but I'm shocked by Smash Bros, it's my in-between game, but I guess it adds up over time

Top 3 most played:
1) Cyberpunk 2077 (89 hours)
2) Assassin’s Creed Shadows (77 hours)
3) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (47 hours)

1) Hades 1 (106)
2) Silksong NS2 Edition (100)
3) Tetris 99 (76)

@FraserG

Look at you rubbing it in that you have abs of steel! 😝 Seriously, though, that's amazing how much Ring Fit you have played. Kudos!! I hope they rerelease this on Switch 2 so I can get fit, too! 🦾

1. Xenoblade: DE
2. TOTK
3. YIIK

Yep, that sounds about right. Technically one of those games is N64, but I'm not counting that and thanks to the monthly stats I know YIIK is the 3rd actual individual most played game.

Actually here's something wild. So its showing the games I played in past years, and it brings up Overwatch 2. I did not play Overwatch 2, Overwatch 2 did not even exist at this time. I did play Overwatch 1. So it apparently replaced Overwatch 1 with 2 in its systems. I discovered a quirk of Nintendo's game listings by accident, go me!

@LinktotheFuture

I thought I played Vampire Survivors and Balatro a lot (121 and 66hrs, respectfully), but you clearly take all the crowns! Nice.

Wow, almost 196 hours on Xeno X and I feel like I'm missing something! I should do another 4 hours I guess!

I only turned on the "surveillance" settings late last year, so no 'Year in Review' for 2025 for me, but I'm pretty sure my most played games (apps) on Switch/Switch 2 were Capcom Fighting Collection 2 (40 hours), Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (25 hours), Atari 50 collection (24 hours), Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection (20 hours) and Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection (18 hours). Total playtime on Switch/Switch 2 probably 450 hours.

@foursider I have crippling anxiety and rarely leave the house, so I got that working for me. 🙂☹️

Well well well, it's finally time!

1. Mario Kart World
2. Persona 5 Royal (Nearly at the end of this after 3 whole years of playing, have loved every second but am also looking forward to finishing it once and for all)
3. Splatoon 3

The most surprising bit was that my most-played in January was Cuphead! Which is strange as I don't play that an awful lot...perhaps I just had a particularly long session with it.

@LinktotheFuture

I'm so sorry! 😥 But, am glad you have an outlet! 🤗 I live vicariously though games, myself; often escaping within Animal Crossing to visit "friends" and a happier, safer realm to explore. Hang in there! ✨

The top 3 games were

1. Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma - Switch 2 (71 Hours)

2. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Switch 2 (33 Hours)

3. Fantasy Life I: The Girl That Steals Time - Switch 2 (32 Hours)

Total hours - 246 (June - December)

I opted out, but I know it anyway.
Those above 50 hours:
Fantasy Life i 125
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition 115
Cyberpunk 2077 85
Hello Kitty Island Adventure 80
Donkey Kong Bananza 70
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection 60
Mario & Luigi: Brothership 55

My most played were:
1. Story of seasons: grand bazaar
2. Hades 2
3. Unicorn overlord
I'm happy that I could keep focus and actually finish several games during 2025, including those three

@Freek Did you play The Last Faith on Switch 1 or 2? And how did it run? I've been interested but heard performance was quite sketchy. Not sure if it every got fixed.
