Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2025 - Our Most Played Games

AmplifyMJ

My Top3 most played games were, in reverse order… Animal Well, DOOM 2016 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! Pleased to see DOOM there, it was the first game I downloaded when I got my OG Switch and I LOVED it, and I really enjoyed playing through it again in 2025! My Switch2 will take over this year, I’m seriously LOVING MK World, I’ll start Silk Song next, and I can’t wait to get DK Bananza and Resident Evil in the future! Here’s to a good year šŸ„‚

Ridiculous overreaction from those previews, seemed like there was a narrative and I have no doubt the negativity had an impact on sales. So much negativity surrounding Nintendo in the last year or so, not all unjustified, certainly, but there’s definitely been an agenda when even somewhere like here falls in line at times… in my opinion, anyway. Still love the place, but it’s felt different recently.

If I can bring myself to open my Switch2, I’ll be downloading MK World and Silk Song! For sure, Pikmin Bloom, I’m currently getting ready to run the annual Christmas Cracker in Castlewellan and I’ll be planting beautiful flowers on the way! Wish me luck, approximately 8mile but we don’t get told the route till we get there šŸ˜† Have a lovely weekend.

Merry Christmas everyone! My son has disappeared with his Switch2, my niece has one, my nephew has one… and so do I ā˜ŗļø I have been saving for my own as many of you know, but my wife’s uncle has got me one. He’s not a very well man and I’ve helped him out with things at home and appointments etc and to my complete and utter shock, my wife gave me a Switch2 this morning from him. I can’t even look at it right now to be honest, I’m so embarrassed… but ultimately extremely grateful and happy. Have a wonderful day everyone involved with @NintendoLife, staff and visitors alike ā¤ļø

@GrailUK the US equals the whole world, didn’t you know? šŸ˜† Michael Jackson’s Thriller is the worlds largest selling album in music HIStory, by far, but the US media report an Eagles greatest hits album as such, because apparently it has sold more in the US, and that’s all matters šŸ˜†

@Old-Red oh yeah, that is priceless. I so wanted a Switch for myself, but even better was getting one just for my son for Christmas, letting him have all the joy and kudos of it being his alone. I got mine the following May, and I’m doing the same with Switch2. I’m slowly saving for my own, but my boy will have his very own on Christmas morning.

Ha, all I wanted one year was a SEGA Saturn. My brother and I were too old for Santa so my Dad and his… I wanna say mate, but more accurate would be crony, Paddy Wacker took us shopping and gave us a budget… all I wanted was that SEGA Saturn though, and my late Dad got me it and Street Fighter Alpha2 ā˜ŗļø
