My #2 game this year was apparently smash bros despite me not playing it at all this year.

Then I remembered the conventions where my switch was used and Smash running throughout the weekend

Yeah, I was kinda surprised how balanced it was.

Mega Man Battle Network Collection releases on April 14:

1. Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga
2. DBZ Kakarot
3. Switch Sports

I guess most of my play time was earlier in the year.

I haven't gone online with my switch in quite awhile, so the results I got from year in review aren't so accurate.

But what I got was:

1. Hades
2. Kirby Star Allies
3. Minecraft Dungeons

Hades is definitely most played for this year for me. 100-200 hours. Great game.

Really enjoyed Kirby.

Hades... I bought it physical when it sold out nearly everywhere. Never opened it. Nearly bought it digital on sale, but felt that would be stupid for a game I've never played in a genre I've never really played enough to say I'm a fan.

@KCPenguins Prior to playing Hades, I hadn't played many games in the Rogue genre. Slay the Spire was one. Liked it. Decided to give Hades a try. Glad I did.

I bought Hades at launch but haven’t played it in forever. Really need to get back to it. I picked up a physical copy from GameStop for $8, thanks to gift certificates.

Alex Kidd $10 on Amazon if anyone is interested:

As far as what's different, I don't see hours played. Which is fine, because I'll never beat my high a few years back since I play all my different consoles now. I think I had 2400 hours or something like that a few years back.

Dang $59.99 - fair for what you get but was hoping for cheaper even though I didn't expect it

Waiting to see if the physical release has half the games on cart and the other half with a voucher like with the other MM collections

It’s been confirmed that all games are on cart. Zero/ZX Collection also had them all on cart.

Nice, i'll probably try to wait for a price drop on it, but not a bad price for the amount of games you get and the playtime

I bought most of them on Wii U VC about a week before they announced the collection.

Still going to get it once it hits the $40 price point though

We need a Final Fantasy Tactics Advance bundle to be released for the switch next

I'm seeking to get a schmup - I'm down to either Crimzon Clover or waiting til tomorrow for Akai Kitana, anyone have any input on this? I never played Akai Kitana, and honestly haven't solidly played a schmup in a long time, but really craving it lately once I discovered a bunch through Yurukill.

Portal Companion Collection is on sale. I've always been interested in the games, never played them. $14 and I'll take the gamble now that I've expanded memory.

You're in for a treat. Both of these games are fantastic. I recently replayed Portal on the Steam Deck and I'm looking forward to replaying Portal 2 sometime soon.

Haven't played either of them but Mushihimesama is one of my top 3 favorite Shmups of all time and it is on Switch AND on sale!

Did the original Oregon Trail always have various different expeditions to unlock? Real impressed with how much variation there is in this remake. I just remember vanilla Oregon Trail on a few computers back in grade school.

Nay. There were a couple places where the path split temporarily though.

I hope you like them. Portal 2 is my favorite game of all time.

Ys X and Oath in Felghana both release on Switch in Japan next year. Don’t think a western release has been announced yet.

Nice Persona 3/4 will only be $20 each on switch for the digital copies

My top 3 games played this year were Splatoon 3, Yoshi's Crafted World, and Rocket League. Truth be told, my top played games this year were on Xbox. I switched over to Rocket League on my Series S because it is so much better (faster, smoother, and Ethernet connection). I played the crap out of Elden Ring, Hades, Rocket League, and a bunch of other games.

Splatoon 3 (mostly Salmon Run) made up about 90% of my Switch time this year.

Ya for me it's salmon run and smash bros

Alien Storm, Columns, Golden Axe II and Virtua Fighter 2 are on Genesis Online now for expansion plus members.

If you don't have a Flip Grip, I would recommend Akai Katana just for its orientation if you have any interest in playing in handheld mode.

Thank you! I'm playing on a Switch Lite. I plan to get Akai Katana today.

Nevermind, I thought this was coming to Switch digitally but I can't find it anywhere except Play Asia physical shop so I guess this isn't happening 8) lol

It's available on e-shop Japan and apparently has English.

Beat Portal. First new to me game I've beaten in quite some time. Pretty slow start and middle. Really picked up at the end. I'm going to wait a little while to jump into Portal 2.

Finished Unmetal. Game is funny.

I loved Unmetal. One of my fave Indies of the past couple of years.

So, are there any Switch games to look forward to in 2023 other than Tears of the Kingdom?
