Somehow, December returned. The end of the year is finally upon us, and while we all get to grips with the passage of time, we thought it'd be only right to take a look back over the past 12 months in Nintendo land.
Yes, 2024 might not have been quite as jam-packed a year as 2023, but that's not to say we haven't had our fair share of surprises. And so, to test your knowledge of everything that went down, we have compiled the following quiz to see how well you remember the headlines.
The following questions are all about Nintendo's 2024, covering game releases, out-of-the-blue announcements and everything in between. So, cosy up and let's see how well you remember the past year.

Can’t believe I got 7 right out of this… I was feeling quite bad about my performance. This… was the year my Switch got dusty, unfortunately. The first party line-up just wasn’t there for me this year. I usually get all the first party games even if I feel meh about them, but this year… I just stopped
The only question I got wrong was how many Nintendo published games there were. My best quiz yet! It proves how this year just flew by for me that I can still remember things so well...
I got 6 lol I don't pay attention or commit anything to memory, apparently
@somnambulance yeah, my 7 took me by surprise as well, especially with stuff like review scores and parks/museums mixed in.
50%...most of them were guesses. lol
4th! (At the time of writing)
Lol I did alright considering the crapshoot nature of the questions. 9/14
Only got the Mario Party minigames one wrong.
9/14, I'll take it
7/14. To be frank, I didn't game that much this year, being more pressed by... other matters. However, I DID finally play BOTW and Hades this year, so I think that kinda makes up for it.
6/14. Nintendo started quite good this year...
Ending up at NoA and NoE's censorship rise and Xenoblade X Inferior Edition release for Switch next year...
Sigh
The quiz said "console," so I naturally ruled out the DS. And now I found that handhelds are technically considered consoles, apparently, but no one uses the word that way.
I only got 5 right, some of which were lucky guesses! I haven't paid much attention to these things. Only ones I knew 100% were Nintendo's first release of the year and the Super Nintendo World expansion.
The question on where the switch ranks - I didn’t think DS was considered a “console”. Am I wrong? Shouldn’t it be 1st for all “consoles”?
NGL I never heard of that Fitness Boxing game
Had this been any previous year, I would've flunked, but since I'm going full Nintendo over the next few years (pray for my soul as I attempt to obtain a copy of Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn), I did pretty good.
I got 8 out of 14 right.
7 from 14.
I didn't really pay attention that much about Nintendo 1st party games / franchise as I haven't played some of them or I have less interest with them.
Got an 11/14 on my first try!
Also, @nintendolife Question 9 is oddly worded IMO. Perhaps "Which of these 2024 apps launched first?" As is, I thought it meant which one first came out this year, so since ACPCC was a rerelease and PTGP is not exactly original, I voted Nintendo Music. Just a thought.
I have only two 2024 Nintendo games and somehow got a ten 😂
@CaleBoi25 yeah that question confused me at first too
Mostly guessing, got 8/14. Not bad I guess.
My first attempt didn't log for some reason, but I got everything right and only really had to guess on the Nintendo Museum and 10/10 review score questions. I need help
9/14 almost 10 if I didn't second guess myself it would put me in the top 14% lol
Barely got 14/14 — I think I got the alarmo one correct purely at chance because I pressed one which looked kinda right before reading the other options even though I totally didn't know the precise name. 😆 I happened to know the Jamboree question because of reading about it recently, but I felt like the other questions were pretty straightforward.
I got 11/14. I take issue with a couple of these:
1. The addition of a third-party, multiplatform game like Balatro feels a little unfair to include in a "Nintendo" quiz, in my opinion. If it was a Switch exclusive or published by Nintendo, then sure. But this isn't a game I've followed in the slightest, regardless of popularity. You may as well have asked, "What was the first Fortnite emote they added to the game this year?"
2. For the question about where Switch ranks among Nintendo's best-selling consoles, I think a clear definition of "console" is needed. Since the Switch released, it seems that the lines have blurred, but I always thought a "console" was a dedicated TV system as opposed to a handheld. Ergo, the Nintendo DS was not technically a "console." Is that not the case?
Edit: After reading @Dr_Corndog's comment, which currently has four upvotes, it looks like I'm not alone on this.
5 out of 14 🤣. In my defense I was more focused on my trumpet and PC gaming this year…

It's interesting that quizzes have leader-boards now. Now we can compare what active users have the higher score.

7/14, but I'm fine with it.
Personally, I thought Nintendo wasn't at their best this year, even with the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake in front of my face.
12/14. Let's have a Mario Party, indeed.
Yikes! those are some statistics
These aren't the most interesting details to remember.
4/14 - I have no idea what's going on here.
4/14 - I wasn't even reading the answers, just clicking them to see how boring the next question would be.
10/14, not bad!
Btw, a handheld game CONSOLE is still a console, guys. Only with a built-in screen and game controls on it.
Most of these seem pretty straightforward. Though I must say I am completely checked out from Pokemon.
I don't know how I'm meant to "remember" characters out of a game I've never even played or been interested in.
Seems like a bit of a stretch
Might as well ask "how many stars in the night sky?"
Oh, I see you, Jim. With the Star Wars reference in the beginning, after talking about Star Wars in your author profile. Very sneaky.
10/14
I did well in a Nintendo Life quiz!!!!
10/14, got the Echoes of Wisdom question wrong since I haven't got to that point of the game yet (and I'm also playing it in Italian), the app as I mixed the two that got released almost at the same time, the Switch rank just because I didn't read the question carefully enough and lastly slightly overestimated the amount of Jamboree minigames!
Full marks for me.
Does this mean I've been terminally online or just that I know my Nintendo stuff?
@Matt_Barber probably both? 😝 I'm in the same boat. A few of those I only knew because I read a lot of Nintendo Life article.
Lol, I said 3rd for the console rank because I read it what rank it was for all consoles.
12/14. Damn, I did better than I thought
I'll take a 7, got a couple of lucky guesses too!
