Switch "Play Activity" Log

[The Shoemaker]

Alright, time to take a look at 2017!

1. The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild - 280 hours
2. Splatoon 2 - 145 hours
3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 110 hours
4. Super Mario Odyssey - 65 hours
5. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle - 60 hours
6. Stardew Valley - 55 hours
7. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - 35 hours
8. SteamWorld Dig 2 - 20 hours
9. Fire Emblem Warriors - 20 hours
10. Slime-San - 10 hours

Interesting how back in September, Mario Kart 8 was my third most played game with 30 hours. Quite a few games have jumped in since then!

The Play log on my Switch profile is pretty inaccurate with its estimates, and it only includes the last 20 titles I played. With that in mind, my estimate for total playtime in 2017 is 950+ hours! Very solid first year.

Notable titles on play times throughout 2017 and now:

1. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - 40 hours
2. Super Mario Odyssey - 40 hours
3. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle - 25 hours
4. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 25 hours
5. Blaster Master Zero - 6 hours
6. Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon - 5 hours
7. Puyo Puyo Tetris - 5 hours
8. Cave Story - 4 hours
9. Pokken Tournament DX - 4 hours
10. Picross S - 4 hours
11. The Binding of Issac: Afterbirth+ - 3 hours
12. Rayman Legends - 3 hours
13. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 - 2 hours
14. Super Bomberman R - 2 hours
15. Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase - 2 hours

19. ACA NEOGEO WAKU WAKU 7 - under 1 hour
20. The End is Nigh - under 1 hour

Switch Activity log is way too annoying to compile a good list of 2018, so I'll just post some notable numbers

Super Smash Bros Ultimate - 55 hours
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle - 95 hours (+35 from 2017)
Splatoon 2 - 225 hours (+ 80 hours from 2017)

Ooh, good reminder Sky! I've got to check out my Switch log again, and also a reminder that PS5 has a (back-dated!) log of playtime that includes PS4 playtime. I'll have to check that out too.

[kitroplious]

Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2... I have no idea how much has been played since last update (though I know Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was over the triple hour for sure as I poured a lot of time into the story, but not near Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I’ve decided to combine the totals of Pokémon main series games that are basically the same to the other one in the same region and story, but different Pokémon between the two. I don’t have numbers for the Let’s Go, Eevee! or Let’s Go, Pikachu! at this time, as well as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, though I did get a copy of the latter to give to a friend in the same household, so I might borrow that one to check later. I could also repurchase these games elsewhere later, which I’ll provide those updates in the spending, collection, and/or game clear threads at that time.

25 JANUARY 2021 (daytime); slight update for Xenoblade Chroncles 2 on 20 FEBRUARY 2021:

1. Animal Crossing: New Horizons - 475+ hours
2. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 [repurchased again on 20 February 2021] - 290+ hours; previously reported 100+
3. Pokémon Shield & Pokémon Sword - 200+ hours combined
4. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - 115+ hours
5. Dragon Quest 11 S: Echoes of an Elusive Age — Definitive Edition - 105+ hours
6. Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna — The Golden Country - 65+ hours
7. Yo-kai Watch 4++ - 45+ hours
8. Yo-kai Watch 1 - 45+ hours
9. Fire Emblem: Three Houses - 45+ hours
10. Super Mario Odyssey [bought it to give to a friend only] - 45+ hours (unofficial)
11. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX - 35+ hours
12. Ys VII: Lacrimosa of DANA - 30+ hours
13. Wheel of Fortune - 30+ hours
14. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle - 30+ hours (+5)
15. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild [no longer have] - 25+ hours (unofficial)
16. Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics - 20+ hours
17. Super Mario 3D All-Stars - 20+ hours
18. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch - 15+ hours
19. Jeopardy! - 10+ hours
20. Family Feud - 10+ hours

I weirdly did this almost a year apart that's freaky. Anyway I expect this list to stay fairly stable now. It's insane to think I'll likely log 1000 hours on my switch before christmas.
Pokemon Arceus, Metroid Dread, Kirby, BOTW2, Mario + Rabbids all coming this year.

LOL, I finally got around to updating this after literally years of saying I should get around to updating this. No big surprises here, given what I generally use this system for. I'm not including non-game apps like the SNES, NES, and Genesis virtual consoles—it would be nice if they included a more granular breakdown of which games you were playing in the apps—and surprisingly enough, I've only lost data for one game (Picross S) to the 20-game limit. I wonder if I could get my stats back by booting up the game now...

Booting up the game should do the trick the other option is to go to your list of games and sort by hours played or time played (I forget what it's called) then you can get an idea of how long you've played the game. Eg if it's between Grindstone and Picross S3 then you know it's 35-60 hours
