Alex described a basic day of my retirement! After a lifetime of raising children into functioning adults and teaching first grade (helping others raise their children into functioning adults lol) now I spend most days playing ACNL, ACNH, SDV, & BoTW. Thank you for not judging me!!!
You all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
My favorites are the steam commenters that have a thousand hour of playtime on a game but rate the game as “not recommended” and start the review with the phrase “I used to love this game”
Thank you Alex for your comments on not feeling bad for enjoying yourself by playing videogames and not feeling bad for not being extreme or adventurous in the real world. Not everyone is that way, and I loved hearing you say it. Thanks!
You seem ore qualified than the guy who's 5th most played game is splatoon at 30 hours. It pointless having someone who plays that little on a video game channel.
@@KyleTO7 to be fair, not everyone needs a crazy amount of play time, and it definitely doesn't mean someone deserves a spot on a channel if they happen to play more... it's also about enthusiasm, communication skills and personality, and most people seem to really like Zion. I have a friend who put thousands of hours into World of Warcraft but I know that he couldn't make or present a video to save his life.
Mine Botw: 320(not all hours are mine, a good 100ish are my sister's) Mario Odyssey: 165 hrs Smash ultimate: 155 hrs Mario Maker 2: 70 hrs Super Mario Party: 60 hrs(played it a lot with family when quarantine was worse) Those are my top 5
My friends dad worked on diddy kong racing’s graphics, most notably the water on every track it appears. Bit random, but when I went to his house for the first time it was full of retro Nintendo development posters and promotional pieces from that game and others he’d worked on!
As someone who tracks game time obsessively on How Long to Beat, the switch's lack of activity log and rounding of playtime to 5hr increments is infuriating.
Like...the system is obviously already tracking time played. It makes no sense at all why times are only in 5 hour increments. They're not actually rounded up either - you could have played 19:59 on a game and it would say 15 hours or more until you play that last minute. This is no biggie for games like BotW, but a game that's 5 to 10 hours, well that's a significant portion of time not accurately represented.
@@denimchicken104 yeah, but they said they had to guess what their most played games were and then opened them so they'd be able to check the hours played. Sorting by most played would make that process easier
Impressive! I don’t have 100% completion, but 500 hours is kinda the norm when playing these games. They’re lengthy journeys with a lot to do in them! Still hoping they re-release X on switch. I enjoyed that one a lot on my Wii U.
I agree. Arms has been out for about 4 years now, and I don't know why Nintendo still wants $60 for it to today. It's still a good game but it doesn't offer too much once you've beaten it. And from what I've heard, they've stopped adding updates to it.
@@fotografick As a fan of ARMS, I suggest waiting for it to go on sale, since it doesn’t have much single player content. Other than that it’s a pretty good game and has a nice (albeit somewhat small) community In fact, I feel like ARMS, Odyssey, BOTW, Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart should’ve had price drops at this point, since most games on other platforms get price drops when they get old
I've got 300+ hours clocked in Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling. It's SUCH a fantastic game that lets you create super creative medal layouts and lets you play any way you want. Glass cannon? Evenly distributed stats? Tanky build? Support build? Anything works on any of your three party members. The characters are incredibly charming and there's SO much detail put into the world and its lore and character backstories. The writing is funny and has so many little details here and there that I've loved noticing on replaying, which leads me to my next point. This game is SO damn replayable thanks to the presence of menu codes. There's a code that randomizes medal locations (with customizable seeds!), a code that makes you spend money to level up but makes medals super cheap to equip, there's a code that decreases the window for blocking to be more strict, there's a code that makes the Hard Mode even HARDER... you can combine these codes as you please to make challenges for yourself or just make your replays more interesting. I've beaten the game roughly six or seven times and each time I find something new to appreciate about it. If you enjoyed the classic Paper Mario games, you're bound to enjoy Bug Fables even more.
I just reached my 35th hour of playing bug fables for the first time and I agree it is a spectacular game. Its scratched that paper Mario itch for me on the switch
One of the apps I really wished was carried over from the previous generation of Nintendo products was their software library and hours played app. That was such a great record keeping tool.
I've played Animal Crossing for 670 hours, after playing every day for a year, and I still haven't helped Gulliver enough to get the golden shovel recipe
@@thepartyoftea I'm sure I'm THIS close to getting it... but after that One Year mark, I've fallen off into MH Rise... I suppose I should check back on my islanders
Three Houses is my most played game with 1,270 Hours or more. I played it 5 times and on my 6th playthrough😅. Like the last 3 playthroughs making Hapi my future wife in Three Houses into the Dancer Class.
@@educampsrocks Well it was very first Fire Emblem Game I've ever played. I absolutely love the characters some more then others😅 and I love seeing the characters in 3D as well a the Anime like Models in some cutscense😁. As I played it more the Charaters grew on me more then I unlocked the Ashen Wolves and fell head over heels for Hapi and I had to make her a dancer and boi did I😁. Anyways right now on my game Hapi is a Trickster Class😁 and she looks cool.
My Top 5 played games in terms of playtime: 1) Fire Emblem Three Houses (around 200+hrs) 2) The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (150 hours) 3) Splatoon 2 (around 110 hours) 4) Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition (I think it was 105 hours or so) 5) Octopath Traveler (Around 85 hrs)
Try speaking in full sentences. I know you’re probably used to 160 characters or less but give the WHOLE English language a try. It’s crazy, if used correctly, you can actually communicate coherently. 🤷🏼♂️
@@jimmywest1526 On the contrary, the only sentence fragment I used was “All the time”. The first sentence contains the necessary verb to construct the phrase, coincidentally being the verb NEED. Given the contextual clues provided in the video by the delightfully charming Jon Cartwright of a play log that he shared of most played games on his system, which, dear commenter, was also the title of the video, would suggest to a person who had greater than room temperature IQ would be able to associate the comment that I had hastily shared with the video in my enthusiasm with the only intention of increasing the UA-cam algorithm through creator engagement. The fact that you were so quick to judge my prose as Twitter banter is downright shameful. Let us return back to the grammar lesson. While I admit “All the time” was a sentence fragment, lacking subject and predicate, it was written for emphasis on how unnecessary I view, or on this case, I do not view gameplay videos. The majority of the time when b roll videos of gameplay are shown, I place my phone down on the counter and proceed to do more important tasks throughout the day, like washing the dishes or tending to my children. Perhaps a person with your lack of intelligence needs gameplay videos to be amused and reminded which video game the presenters are referring to while speaking instead of providing a list format that I was implying in my initial comment. I do sincerely apologize the this sentiment flew clear over your precious little head. The final clause shares two examples of active verbs, paired together for emphasis. While I did reuse the verb NEED, the accompanying verb IS would be considered a helping verb, ultimately giving my final statement of “This is perfect” a full and complete sentence. While you undoubtedly were not expecting this type of response or any as erudite as this reply I have so expertly crafted, given the quasi-simian approach suggested by my initial comment, I would encourage you, dear commenter, not to prejudge the prose of the person casualty on the Internet. If you are still reading this I want you to know one thing: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the Game of the Decade.
@@jimmywest1526 to think that, of all the things you could have contributed to any discussion available, you chose to slap on a random chap who wasn't even being rude or anything. Just... be nice
I find very interesting to see what other people play, there's such a variety of tastes. My top 5 most played games are (from most to least): Dark Souls (190h), Stardew Valley (180h), Hollow Knight (90h), Super Mario Maker 2 (70h) and the SNES app (65h). If I hadn't played BotW on Wii U, it would probably be the first, since I played more than 200h there.
Hatsune miku project diva mega mix, fire emblem 3 houses, pokemon shield, harvest moon one world, andpersona 5 strikers are my 5 most played games I have right now
Love these discussion videos. They are my favorite videos on the channel. Also I've been enjoying reading the website recently. I haven't read many gaming articles since back in the Nintendo Power days so it's cool to see the writing and content over there. I read a cool article looking back at the Zelda Minish Cap this week. It's one of my favorite Zelda games and I think it's underrated so it was nice to relive that memory and see it getting some love on Nintendo Life.
@@thelegendofstonecoldstevea3205 I wouldn’t say everything is easy. A decent amount makes you get good and think through stuff. Great challenges throughout the game. But I’m sure if you’re a pro gamer maybe you can consider everything you did easy to do. I think the different level of challenges in this game make it one of the best games ever made. It’s truly special when you get the right movement down or figure out something that seemed really difficult.
@@thelegendofstonecoldstevea3205 yea I can see that. I haven’t tried all the hardest moons. I also think completing the last two worlds you unlock are great challenges for the average gamer. Not saying they are the hardest thing ever, but you feel the fun challenge of it until it clicks. Such a great game. I hope the next big Mario game blows me away as much as this one did.
When they mentioned how you just get into a feel for a character in smash that you just keep playing, I remembered that I've played Inkling since launch and within the last few months I have twice the KOs and maybe even more battles with Steve. God times do change.
Would love "Our Most Played DS/3DS games" video : ) Be interesting to see what games you invested the most time into! I still enjoy picking up my 3DS and playing a game from my collection I haven't played before, it still keeps the 3DS fresh for me.
You can go to the nore games section on the switch menu and sort it by most played, that way you can see the entire consoles played games ranked by playtime across all users, so if you've used them for multiple files or something you can see those included.
Alex thank you for your support in the long running battle to keep Diddy Kong Racing relevant. I just recently forced all my friends to play with me lol. Also there's a version of Drinking Kong Racing my friends play called Beerio Kart lol
random (deserved) praise: you all are super articulate, which is awesome when listening on 2x speed lmao. sometimes i cant understand it and have to slow down to like 1.5 or whatever. probably the most first world problem ever, but you guys are awesome and i love these longer 30+ minute videos. awesome stuff guys!
Wonderful video as always! I loved when you guys were talking about how games are one of the best "value for your money" things that people can buy because I just got my Switch last July and it actually got me back into gaming after about 16 years so it has paid for itself a few times over in just 8 months. I was a huge fan of Nintendo 64 and PC games when I was little and even up to the start of high school but then other interests replaced gaming but I'm so glad getting a Switch got me back into it because I have loved spending my time with these games and playing with friends. My most played game is Animal Crossing New Horizons, which I've played for "590 hours or more" which means that I am getting to the point where as far as value for money goes, it has cost me 10 cents per hour of this game which is such a fantastic value! The funny thing is my second and third most played games are nowhere near that amount of time, those are Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Fortnite with 30 hours and 20 hours of gameplay. Clearly, I need to start spending some time on other games I own lol. Anyway, I love your content so thanks for another great video and can't wait for the next one :D.
1. Pokemon Sword, dynamax works great with competitive double battles 2. Slay the Spire, Clearing a20 made me feel like a king 3. Mario Maker 2, following some great creators and the top/popular ones by difficulty are always great 4. BOTW, enough said 5. Hades, enough said
I have 265 hours in Stardew Valley on Switch. This isn't even the only platform I currently play it on. It's the thing I do to relax. :) But I also now have a co-op farm with a Discord group, and it's been so genuinely lovely to engage with in multiplayer.
Its called Beerio Kart and you are NOT allowed to drink and drive, so you chug during the crash animation, or at the end of the race before the finish line. At least thats how we did it in college. We also banned simply chugging the beer at the start, since starting behind early is an advantage in the game and we didnt want it to devolve into a chugging contest.
Mine most played are I think smash at 500 hundred, animal crossing 400 hundred and stop play at around last summer, fortnight which I have not played since 2019 and I have 300 something hours, fire emblem three houses at around 200 hours played golden deer twice and blue lions once want to play more, and breath of the wild with around 130 hours
I have 959.59 hours (as high as it goes) in Pokemon Shield over the pandemic 😂 it's sounds bad but between the story, team building, competitive battling, and shiny hunting it makes sense. Smash is probably half that, maybe more.
Sword became my pandemic game as well. Although instead of all the things you mentioned, I started and finished a collection of Pokemon in different rare Pokeballs (Apricorn Balls, dream ball, beast ball, etc.)
I got Smash Ultimate today, probably gonna play it for ages! (Edit 4 months later: I now have over 150 hours sunk into the game, without even touching the online!)
I've played Splatoon 2 for over 1000 hours, and I even started over the campaigns on a new profile, so I'm not even counting that. I also played Smash for 700-800 hours and Mario Kart for 200ish hours
YES Splatoon love! It's by far my most-played switch game. Love all the different ranked modes and Salmon Run is a blast. It's still a buy for me when people ask what switch game they should get.
Ah. Oh dear. Looks like I'm Zion on steroids. Kinda. 1,195 hrs in Animal Crossing New Horizons 450 hrs in Breath of the Wild 265 hrs in Dragon Quest Builders 2 230 hrs in Octopath Traveler 150 hrs in Skyrim ... and my backlog is crushing me. Plenty of games with less playtime, but to illustrate the problem: I've owned Splatoon 2 and Smash Bros. Ultimate since they came out and have barely touched them because (again, like Zion) I have no time for online play. I really miss the 3DS interface and features, everything just looked and sounded so lovely. Please, Nintendo, bring at least some of it back. The Activity Log, folders, maybe even themes? Please.
My most played game is Diablo 3. I've played that game previously on pc, but man, playing it on the go and using a joystick instead of k&m is quite a game changer.
My top 5 playtimes on Switch: 5)Super Smash Bros. Ultimate(230h+) I barely play online. I collect all Spirits, go through all Classic Modes, made some Playlists and suddenly it was in my top5. 4)Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition(390h+) 100% all Adventure Maps and still not even close to maxing out all chars. It's a great chip away experience. I got burned out once and left the game for a long time but than Age of Calamity Was annouced and it was time to go back. 3)Fire Emblem: Three Houses(455h+) All routes. Not really close to all supports. Protect Bernadetta. Easily in my top 5 Switch games and probably top 5 games over all too. 2)Pokémon Shield(475h+) Not here for another Gen8 warlike discussion. I'm just saying that Competetive Pokémon is almost like a complete different half of the games. If you like Pokémon I can recommand it a lot. Take a random rental team and try a couple of games. Maybe it's something for you or maybe it's not. Gen8 is very Competetive friendly. 1)Splatoon2(1310h+) Every Splatfest already make a lot of hours. Combine that with 100+ weapon sets, 4 Rank Modes, Turf war, Salmon Run, 2 campaigns with one being the best DLC from Nintendo and smaller stuff like extrordinary amount of cloths and accessoires with different perks, a neat arcade like rhythm game for fresh soundtracks and just fun. I think Splatoon as a franchise deserves a spot on Nintendos most important franchises and not just "the new franchise that blew up". I mean yes it doesn't have the legacy like Mario or Zelda but it shouldn't be underestimated either. The franchise climbed up for my favorite franchises really quick and that's something I respect a lot(it's not my favorite but it's still impressive). For the Jon Cartwrights out there I also want to mention that I got 220h+ in Tetris99, 105h+ in PuyoPuyoTetris and 60h+ in PPT2. I also played through Panel de Pon on NSOs line up(I still prefer Tetris but I adore it a lot). Smash is about to get past by Tetris99. I suppose...you can't fight destiny ;D
My most-played games are: Animal Crossing, Super Mario Odyssey, Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town, Yonder Chronicles, Wilmot’s Warehouse, Farm Together and Stardew Valley. While I have BoTW, I haven’t played it as much.
i have now played enter the gungeon for 580 hours...Nuclear Throne is a distant second with around 160 I think, then it goes Hollow Knight (115), Mario Odyssey (not sure how long), Crosscode (something like 90)...4 of those are definitely in my favourites, but there are a bunch lower down in play time that I would rank above CrossCode (though I liked it a lot)...Axiom Verge, Steredenn, Strikey Sisters, Void Bastards, Forma 8, Immortal Planet, Yoku's Island Express, Horizon Chase Turbo.....this was a fun exercise, thanks :)
My dad has put 400+ hours into Minecraft Dungeons, and he hasn’t even played the original Minecraft. He just loves finding secrets in that game, but there are so many glitches it honestly hurts me when he tells me he lost his progress at the end of a level.
Each dungeon has a few secrets that appear by chance every time the player enters, so he wants to find every one. There’s also been DLC, which he also absolutely loves lmao. But when someone loves a game, they find some way to spend time in it.
My most played Switch games are Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, Animal Crossing, Death Road to Canada, Wrestling Empire, and Fire Emblem Edit: and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
When we played “beeriokart “ in college you weren’t allowed to drink while moving, so players would drink as much as they can at the start and then occasionally pull over during the race to finish their drink Absolutely hilarious fun, with a variety of strategy (some people drink the whole beer before starting, I tended to stop every lap for a chug)
245 Hours on FE 3H One of my absolute favorite games. One run to complete each house including DLC, and then a few more for fun, and finally one lunatic. Phew.
I've got over 2,000 hours into Splatoon 2 and that's with me stopping for the most part when splatfests ended. I used to be on a team, but sadly we disbanded and started playing other games.
My colleagues and I were talking about this yesterday! xD Regarding the parental control app, the app data seem to reset when you uninstall+reinstall the app or move to another unit. Nintendo loves taking features away. So much so you can't take anything for granted even transitioning from one system to another.
I've only had my switch since November, but here's my current top 5 1- Botw - 115 hours 2 - Pokémon Shield - 10 hours 3 - Tales of Vesperia - 5 hours 4 - Mario Kart 8 - 4 hours 5 - Mario 3D Allstars - 3 hours I've just gotten Monster Hunter Rise, so that'll pretty easily jump into second place. On Steam my most played game is Skyrim with around 300 hours between both the updated version, followed by Stardew Valley at 99 hours, Starbound at 84, MH: World at 65 and The Outer Worlds at 52.
my most played game is Animal Crossing at 705 hours and still counting, followed by FE3H at 295 hours (still plan to play more), then Octopath traveler at 130 hours! they're very amazing games, but OT is one of my favourites. Another game that left a good impression on me that I want to replay a lot is Xenoblade Chronicles. Picked it up during a sale and I almost played through the whole game with minimal breaks
Actually the “My Nintendo” phone App, which is only released in Japan, tracks all of your games played and game times, and at the end of 2020 it showed the user “games most played in 2020”. I hope the app comes to other regions soon...
@@JonathanAnimate2 Recent activity only covers your 20 most previously played games. So if a game falls off the list, you would boot it up and it’ll be at the top again with the play time noted.
You can sort your switch library by "play time" and then just make sure to launch those 5 games so they're on your recent activity list. For example, mine shows Dead Cells, FFXII Zodiac Age, Octopath Traveler, Y's VIII, and Smash Ultimate
Animal Crossing is a strange one for me. Because I do honestly feel like it's missing a ton of content that used to be in previous games and it feels like there isn't much to do in the game as a result. And yet, I've put in over 700 hours into it sooooooo...
On my Nintendo Switch, my most played games are : #1 Elder Scrolls Skyrim (1,560hrs), #2 UA-cam app (190hrs), #3 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (75 hrs), #4 Super Mario Odyssey (55 hrs), #5 Super Mario Maker 2 (40hrs). Honourable mentions: Lego City Undercover (30hrs), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (25hrs). Zelda Breath of the Wild, Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles, and Event Horizon Space Defence are all tied at 5 hours each. My #1 game is Skyrim by a huge margin because I never played it before getting a Switch.
Alex described a basic day of my retirement! After a lifetime of raising children into functioning adults and teaching first grade (helping others raise their children into functioning adults lol) now I spend most days playing ACNL, ACNH, SDV, & BoTW. Thank you for not judging me!!!

I found myself playing Super Mario 3D All*Stars, Clubhouse Games, Smash, and Arms more on my Switch.
I'm still on the fence about getting arms. I loved the demo, but its a bit too pricey for a fighting game.
I agree. Arms has been out for about 4 years now, and I don't know why Nintendo still wants $60 for it to today. It's still a good game but it doesn't offer too much once you've beaten it. And from what I've heard, they've stopped adding updates to it.
If you can get it for much cheaper, like on eBay or if GameStop is reasonable, go for it. In my mind, it should be worth at least $30 or $40.
My most played game isn't even on the Switch, it's Radical Red.
@@fotografick As a fan of ARMS, I suggest waiting for it to go on sale, since it doesn’t have much single player content. Other than that it’s a pretty good game and has a nice (albeit somewhat small) community
In fact, I feel like ARMS, Odyssey, BOTW, Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart should’ve had price drops at this point, since most games on other platforms get price drops when they get old
i gotta say, this trio is such a great time to listen to

I've got 300+ hours clocked in Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling. It's SUCH a fantastic game that lets you create super creative medal layouts and lets you play any way you want. Glass cannon? Evenly distributed stats? Tanky build? Support build? Anything works on any of your three party members. The characters are incredibly charming and there's SO much detail put into the world and its lore and character backstories. The writing is funny and has so many little details here and there that I've loved noticing on replaying, which leads me to my next point.
This game is SO damn replayable thanks to the presence of menu codes. There's a code that randomizes medal locations (with customizable seeds!), a code that makes you spend money to level up but makes medals super cheap to equip, there's a code that decreases the window for blocking to be more strict, there's a code that makes the Hard Mode even HARDER... you can combine these codes as you please to make challenges for yourself or just make your replays more interesting. I've beaten the game roughly six or seven times and each time I find something new to appreciate about it. If you enjoyed the classic Paper Mario games, you're bound to enjoy Bug Fables even more.
I just reached my 35th hour of playing bug fables for the first time and I agree it is a spectacular game. Its scratched that paper Mario itch for me on the switch
Yes!!! Bug Fables is amazing!
3 houses is my favorite game and I wasn’t even a FE fan before they didn’t even give it a chance 😔
Actually took me a while to get into because it can get so deep. What a title. Right there with you.
Yeah respect their opinion but the three houses segment was painful for me
I was looking for a comment like this. FE3 Houses is my most played switch game. Love it to death. Deserves more love.
One of the apps I really wished was carried over from the previous generation of Nintendo products was their software library and hours played app. That was such a great record keeping tool.
Yes! I loved checking out how many minutes or hours I spent each day playing certain games on my 3DS and Wii U 😊
It crazy how good the switch library already is considering how much has yet to be released
For me personally there’s nothing to play on switch since like 1,5 years. Desperately waiting for good games to release
@@gimli717 lmao what. Why
@@gimli717 That's a shame, you're missing out so much! 😔
I've played Animal Crossing for 670 hours, after playing every day for a year, and I still haven't helped Gulliver enough to get the golden shovel recipe
same, it’s just so frustrating to have to wake him up. I takes a while...
@@thyk13_enrique70 I've done daily stuff FOR A YEAR including all of the random visitors... just crazy to think I haven't seen Gulliver 30 times yet
I just got mine last week, keep strong my friend!
@@thepartyoftea I'm sure I'm THIS close to getting it... but after that One Year mark, I've fallen off into MH Rise... I suppose I should check back on my islanders
Dig yourself out of the shit with the Golden Shovel.
I think I watched your channel more than I played games on my Switch. You three are the Triforce and I can listen to you guys for hours.
Three Houses is my most played game with 1,270 Hours or more.
I played it 5 times and on my 6th playthrough😅.
Like the last 3 playthroughs making Hapi my future wife in Three Houses into the Dancer Class.
That’s so cool, what make this game your favorite?
@@educampsrocks Well it was very first Fire Emblem Game I've ever played.
I absolutely love the characters some more then others😅 and I love seeing the characters in 3D as well a the Anime like Models in some cutscense😁.
As I played it more the Charaters grew on me more then I unlocked the Ashen Wolves and fell head over heels for Hapi and I had to make her a dancer and boi did I😁.
Anyways right now on my game Hapi is a Trickster Class😁 and she looks cool.
I'm on my 5th playthrough and at 345 hours, you must play painfully slowly
@@mayaelise5208 Yep I grind levels and supports.
I'm on my 6th or 7th playthrough😁.
@@Jetbladewarrior i grind levels too and beat the game 4 times in 450hrs so you must be doing some serious type of grinding😂
Wow thats alot of variety. This generation is more family oriented and versatile. I hope it won't go obsolete anytime soon
550 - Rocket League
170 - Zelda BOTW
120 - Fire Emblem: Three Houses
100 - Dragon Quest XI
what rank in rocket league?
@@estton I'm not sure. I stopped playing it when Epic bought it.
I want you guys to start a pod cast I just love the 3 person discussions
Yeah it really felt like a podcast episode
My Top 5 played games in terms of playtime:
1) Fire Emblem Three Houses (around 200+hrs)
2) The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (150 hours)
3) Splatoon 2 (around 110 hours)
4) Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition (I think it was 105 hours or so)
5) Octopath Traveler (Around 85 hrs)
This needs to be b roll.
All the time.
I don’t need gameplay. This is perfect.
Try speaking in full sentences. I know you’re probably used to 160 characters or less but give the WHOLE English language a try. It’s crazy, if used correctly, you can actually communicate coherently. 🤷🏼♂️
@@jimmywest1526
On the contrary, the only sentence fragment I used was “All the time”.
The first sentence contains the necessary verb to construct the phrase, coincidentally being the verb NEED. Given the contextual clues provided in the video by the delightfully charming Jon Cartwright of a play log that he shared of most played games on his system, which, dear commenter, was also the title of the video, would suggest to a person who had greater than room temperature IQ would be able to associate the comment that I had hastily shared with the video in my enthusiasm with the only intention of increasing the UA-cam algorithm through creator engagement. The fact that you were so quick to judge my prose as Twitter banter is downright shameful. Let us return back to the grammar lesson.
While I admit “All the time” was a sentence fragment, lacking subject and predicate, it was written for emphasis on how unnecessary I view, or on this case, I do not view gameplay videos. The majority of the time when b roll videos of gameplay are shown, I place my phone down on the counter and proceed to do more important tasks throughout the day, like washing the dishes or tending to my children. Perhaps a person with your lack of intelligence needs gameplay videos to be amused and reminded which video game the presenters are referring to while speaking instead of providing a list format that I was implying in my initial comment. I do sincerely apologize the this sentiment flew clear over your precious little head.
The final clause shares two examples of active verbs, paired together for emphasis. While I did reuse the verb NEED, the accompanying verb IS would be considered a helping verb, ultimately giving my final statement of “This is perfect” a full and complete sentence.
While you undoubtedly were not expecting this type of response or any as erudite as this reply I have so expertly crafted, given the quasi-simian approach suggested by my initial comment, I would encourage you, dear commenter, not to prejudge the prose of the person casualty on the Internet. If you are still reading this I want you to know one thing:
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the Game of the Decade.
@@quag311 omg you fucking demolished that guy
@@jimmywest1526 rip
@@jimmywest1526 to think that, of all the things you could have contributed to any discussion available, you chose to slap on a random chap who wasn't even being rude or anything. Just... be nice
I find very interesting to see what other people play, there's such a variety of tastes. My top 5 most played games are (from most to least): Dark Souls (190h), Stardew Valley (180h), Hollow Knight (90h), Super Mario Maker 2 (70h) and the SNES app (65h). If I hadn't played BotW on Wii U, it would probably be the first, since I played more than 200h there.
Hatsune miku project diva mega mix, fire emblem 3 houses, pokemon shield, harvest moon one world, andpersona 5 strikers are my 5 most played games I have right now
Love these discussion videos. They are my favorite videos on the channel. Also I've been enjoying reading the website recently. I haven't read many gaming articles since back in the Nintendo Power days so it's cool to see the writing and content over there. I read a cool article looking back at the Zelda Minish Cap this week. It's one of my favorite Zelda games and I think it's underrated so it was nice to relive that memory and see it getting some love on Nintendo Life.
love finding new discussions right before I’m about to shower
its like a podcast you can listen to it at any time
Same, for me it's either a long drive listen or in the background while I'm working out or working :) helps the time fly doesn't it
Jon convinced me to not try to 100% odyssey, which I’m actually ok with because I want to collect moons randomly for years to come
Really there’s only 1 out of 999 moons that would make going for 100% a bitch. All other moons are really easy to get.
its taken me two and a half years to get 780 moons and its my favourite game of all time
@@thelegendofstonecoldstevea3205 I wouldn’t say everything is easy. A decent amount makes you get good and think through stuff. Great challenges throughout the game. But I’m sure if you’re a pro gamer maybe you can consider everything you did easy to do.
I think the different level of challenges in this game make it one of the best games ever made. It’s truly special when you get the right movement down or figure out something that seemed really difficult.
@@Ray-dl5mp yeah I guess easy wasnt the correct word. I just meant that except for the jump rope challenge the rest are perfectly doable.
@@thelegendofstonecoldstevea3205 yea I can see that. I haven’t tried all the hardest moons. I also think completing the last two worlds you unlock are great challenges for the average gamer. Not saying they are the hardest thing ever, but you feel the fun challenge of it until it clicks. Such a great game. I hope the next big Mario game blows me away as much as this one did.
When they mentioned how you just get into a feel for a character in smash that you just keep playing, I remembered that I've played Inkling since launch and within the last few months I have twice the KOs and maybe even more battles with Steve.
God times do change.
New Horizons- 510 hours
Stardew Valley -190 hours
Mario Kart and BOTW- 150 hours each
Ni No Kuni- 85 Hours
Dragon Quest XI- 85 hours
Would love "Our Most Played DS/3DS games" video : )
Be interesting to see what games you invested the most time into!
I still enjoy picking up my 3DS and playing a game from my collection I haven't played before, it still keeps the 3DS fresh for me.
You can go to the nore games section on the switch menu and sort it by most played, that way you can see the entire consoles played games ranked by playtime across all users, so if you've used them for multiple files or something you can see those included.
Alex thank you for your support in the long running battle to keep Diddy Kong Racing relevant. I just recently forced all my friends to play with me lol. Also there's a version of Drinking Kong Racing my friends play called Beerio Kart lol
random (deserved) praise: you all are super articulate, which is awesome when listening on 2x speed lmao. sometimes i cant understand it and have to slow down to like 1.5 or whatever. probably the most first world problem ever, but you guys are awesome and i love these longer 30+ minute videos. awesome stuff guys!
Wonderful video as always! I loved when you guys were talking about how games are one of the best "value for your money" things that people can buy because I just got my Switch last July and it actually got me back into gaming after about 16 years so it has paid for itself a few times over in just 8 months. I was a huge fan of Nintendo 64 and PC games when I was little and even up to the start of high school but then other interests replaced gaming but I'm so glad getting a Switch got me back into it because I have loved spending my time with these games and playing with friends. My most played game is Animal Crossing New Horizons, which I've played for "590 hours or more" which means that I am getting to the point where as far as value for money goes, it has cost me 10 cents per hour of this game which is such a fantastic value! The funny thing is my second and third most played games are nowhere near that amount of time, those are Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Fortnite with 30 hours and 20 hours of gameplay. Clearly, I need to start spending some time on other games I own lol. Anyway, I love your content so thanks for another great video and can't wait for the next one :D.
1. Pokemon Sword, dynamax works great with competitive double battles
2. Slay the Spire, Clearing a20 made me feel like a king
3. Mario Maker 2, following some great creators and the top/popular ones by difficulty are always great
4. BOTW, enough said
5. Hades, enough said
Explain Hades? I thought that game was absolutely boring in every conceivable way.
@@feo130SAME
And here I thought my 415 hours in Pokemon Sword were a lot but they are nothing to your Smash Ultimate numbers
I have 265 hours in Stardew Valley on Switch. This isn't even the only platform I currently play it on. It's the thing I do to relax. :) But I also now have a co-op farm with a Discord group, and it's been so genuinely lovely to engage with in multiplayer.
- may 13
Minecraft-85 hours
Sonic mania-100 hours 100%
Mario Odyssey-320 hours: 100% twice
Fortnite-355 hours
Smash bros ultimate-505 hours
I feel a sense of warmth when I'm watching your Videos.
Its called Beerio Kart and you are NOT allowed to drink and drive, so you chug during the crash animation, or at the end of the race before the finish line. At least thats how we did it in college. We also banned simply chugging the beer at the start, since starting behind early is an advantage in the game and we didnt want it to devolve into a chugging contest.
My most played are Bravely Default 2, yugioh link evolution, xenoblade 1&2, and FE3H
Good picks
Mine most played are I think smash at 500 hundred, animal crossing 400 hundred and stop play at around last summer, fortnight which I have not played since 2019 and I have 300 something hours, fire emblem three houses at around 200 hours played golden deer twice and blue lions once want to play more, and breath of the wild with around 130 hours
Awesome !
Perfect before I was thinking about a new game for my back log.
Fire Emblem Three Houses was amazing
I have 959.59 hours (as high as it goes) in Pokemon Shield over the pandemic 😂 it's sounds bad but between the story, team building, competitive battling, and shiny hunting it makes sense. Smash is probably half that, maybe more.
Sword became my pandemic game as well. Although instead of all the things you mentioned, I started and finished a collection of Pokemon in different rare Pokeballs (Apricorn Balls, dream ball, beast ball, etc.)
it doesnt osund bad it sounds like u now the game more than these guys
I enjoy this type of long videos.. Just silent gameplay footage and the trio talking :D
this is such a cozy listen while doing chores - love it 🤩
I'm with you on that Master Mode Trial of the sword Alex 😂 the walkthrough I used for normal mode DOES NOT apply for master mode at all haha
I think I have about 265 hours of smash ultimate, 150 hours of animal crossing, 170 hours of mario maker, and 110 hours of mario odyssey.
I really enjoy this style of video, would love to see more
I got Smash Ultimate today, probably gonna play it for ages!
(Edit 4 months later: I now have over 150 hours sunk into the game, without even touching the online!)
New subscriber here! Loved this list. A hidden gem I love is My Time at Portia.
My girlfriend has around 1500 hours in Animal Crossing, hahaha. Granted she does not play much else, but still impressive.
You can sort your library by playtime btw. Didn't need to do all the guessing lmao
Doesn't track progress if you have switched consoles
I just discovered Smash couple of days ago and I can't get enough of opening all the characters, so exciting. And I haven't even tried playing online
I've played Splatoon 2 for over 1000 hours, and I even started over the campaigns on a new profile, so I'm not even counting that. I also played Smash for 700-800 hours and Mario Kart for 200ish hours
YES Splatoon love! It's by far my most-played switch game. Love all the different ranked modes and Salmon Run is a blast. It's still a buy for me when people ask what switch game they should get.
Ah. Oh dear. Looks like I'm Zion on steroids. Kinda.
1,195 hrs in Animal Crossing New Horizons
450 hrs in Breath of the Wild
265 hrs in Dragon Quest Builders 2
230 hrs in Octopath Traveler
150 hrs in Skyrim
... and my backlog is crushing me. Plenty of games with less playtime, but to illustrate the problem: I've owned Splatoon 2 and Smash Bros. Ultimate since they came out and have barely touched them because (again, like Zion) I have no time for online play.
I really miss the 3DS interface and features, everything just looked and sounded so lovely. Please, Nintendo, bring at least some of it back. The Activity Log, folders, maybe even themes? Please.
15:50 lol. You guys are terrific.
15:47 - sorry?? 😂💀
My most played game is Diablo 3. I've played that game previously on pc, but man, playing it on the go and using a joystick instead of k&m is quite a game changer.
the fire emblem hate... worms for brains. my favorite switch game
same lol
The end of the video was my favorite part. Thank you 😂😂
My top 5 playtimes on Switch:
5)Super Smash Bros. Ultimate(230h+)
I barely play online. I collect all Spirits, go through all Classic Modes, made some Playlists and suddenly it was in my top5.
4)Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition(390h+)
100% all Adventure Maps and still not even close to maxing out all chars. It's a great chip away experience. I got burned out once and left the game for a long time but than Age of Calamity Was annouced and it was time to go back.
3)Fire Emblem: Three Houses(455h+)
All routes. Not really close to all supports. Protect Bernadetta. Easily in my top 5 Switch games and probably top 5 games over all too.
2)Pokémon Shield(475h+)
Not here for another Gen8 warlike discussion. I'm just saying that Competetive Pokémon is almost like a complete different half of the games. If you like Pokémon I can recommand it a lot. Take a random rental team and try a couple of games. Maybe it's something for you or maybe it's not. Gen8 is very Competetive friendly.
1)Splatoon2(1310h+)
Every Splatfest already make a lot of hours. Combine that with 100+ weapon sets, 4 Rank Modes, Turf war, Salmon Run, 2 campaigns with one being the best DLC from Nintendo and smaller stuff like extrordinary amount of cloths and accessoires with different perks, a neat arcade like rhythm game for fresh soundtracks and just fun. I think Splatoon as a franchise deserves a spot on Nintendos most important franchises and not just "the new franchise that blew up". I mean yes it doesn't have the legacy like Mario or Zelda but it shouldn't be underestimated either. The franchise climbed up for my favorite franchises really quick and that's something I respect a lot(it's not my favorite but it's still impressive).
For the Jon Cartwrights out there I also want to mention that I got 220h+ in Tetris99, 105h+ in PuyoPuyoTetris and 60h+ in PPT2. I also played through Panel de Pon on NSOs line up(I still prefer Tetris but I adore it a lot). Smash is about to get past by Tetris99. I suppose...you can't fight destiny ;D
Love these videos, they remind me of oldskool game shows like Gamesmaster, for some reason.
this should definitely be a podcast. very nice video!
I have parental controls so none can play on my switch without my permission
2000 iq
Love these types of videos!
My most-played games are: Animal Crossing, Super Mario Odyssey, Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town, Yonder Chronicles, Wilmot’s Warehouse, Farm Together and Stardew Valley. While I have BoTW, I haven’t played it as much.
i have now played enter the gungeon for 580 hours...Nuclear Throne is a distant second with around 160 I think, then it goes Hollow Knight (115), Mario Odyssey (not sure how long), Crosscode (something like 90)...4 of those are definitely in my favourites, but there are a bunch lower down in play time that I would rank above CrossCode (though I liked it a lot)...Axiom Verge, Steredenn, Strikey Sisters, Void Bastards, Forma 8, Immortal Planet, Yoku's Island Express, Horizon Chase Turbo.....this was a fun exercise, thanks :)
My dad has put 400+ hours into Minecraft Dungeons, and he hasn’t even played the original Minecraft. He just loves finding secrets in that game, but there are so many glitches it honestly hurts me when he tells me he lost his progress at the end of a level.
Isn’t that an exceptionally short game? It took me 4 hours to complete the main game.
Each dungeon has a few secrets that appear by chance every time the player enters, so he wants to find every one. There’s also been DLC, which he also absolutely loves lmao. But when someone loves a game, they find some way to spend time in it.
My most played Switch games are Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, Animal Crossing, Death Road to Canada, Wrestling Empire, and Fire Emblem
Edit: and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
When we played “beeriokart “ in college you weren’t allowed to drink while moving, so players would drink as much as they can at the start and then occasionally pull over during the race to finish their drink
Absolutely hilarious fun, with a variety of strategy (some people drink the whole beer before starting, I tended to stop every lap for a chug)
245 Hours on FE 3H
One of my absolute favorite games.
One run to complete each house including DLC, and then a few more for fun, and finally one lunatic. Phew.
I've got over 2,000 hours into Splatoon 2 and that's with me stopping for the most part when splatfests ended. I used to be on a team, but sadly we disbanded and started playing other games.
My colleagues and I were talking about this yesterday! xD
Regarding the parental control app, the app data seem to reset when you uninstall+reinstall the app or move to another unit. Nintendo loves taking features away. So much so you can't take anything for granted even transitioning from one system to another.
600+ hours on The Witcher 3 Complete Edition and 500+ on Skyrim for me.
Oh and 500+ hours across Borderlands 1, The Pre-Sequel and Borderlands 2.
100+ hours in Skyrim? Rookie. I spend that much time making my Kajit character look like my Calico cat.
The point about pressure to do crazy things everyday was very well said. Do what makes you happy!!
I've only had my switch since November, but here's my current top 5
1- Botw - 115 hours
2 - Pokémon Shield - 10 hours
3 - Tales of Vesperia - 5 hours
4 - Mario Kart 8 - 4 hours
5 - Mario 3D Allstars - 3 hours
I've just gotten Monster Hunter Rise, so that'll pretty easily jump into second place.
On Steam my most played game is Skyrim with around 300 hours between both the updated version, followed by Stardew Valley at 99 hours, Starbound at 84, MH: World at 65 and The Outer Worlds at 52.
You could have sorted you're library by most played to see and then booted the top 5 to see how long it took
my most played game is Animal Crossing at 705 hours and still counting, followed by FE3H at 295 hours (still plan to play more), then Octopath traveler at 130 hours!
they're very amazing games, but OT is one of my favourites. Another game that left a good impression on me that I want to replay a lot is Xenoblade Chronicles. Picked it up during a sale and I almost played through the whole game with minimal breaks
Actually the “My Nintendo” phone App, which is only released in Japan, tracks all of your games played and game times, and at the end of 2020 it showed the user “games most played in 2020”. I hope the app comes to other regions soon...
You also can sort your games by playtime in the “all software” area. Although for some reason Twitch doesn’t seem to work there.
Mario Odyssey was my first Mario game, since I've only owned PlayStations before.
But I'm glad I bought a Switch. What a game!
Jon has put in some work on these games
did you know you can sort your games by playtime in your library?
Yeah, pretty short search for the “suspected” games 😏
Why do they say you have to boot up the game? Does the recent activity only show a max number?
@@JonathanAnimate2 yea only the last 20 games you played.
@@JonathanAnimate2 Recent activity only covers your 20 most previously played games. So if a game falls off the list, you would boot it up and it’ll be at the top again with the play time noted.
No you can sort your games pressing r Button afther scrolling to the left to all software icon.
unexpected but always welcome mention of Diddy Kong Racing
Excellent video very enjoyable. 👏🏻
I've played Tetris 99 for more than 1000 hours. It's just so easy to play it while listening to the news or watching tv. It adds up.
What’s the highest rank you’ve ever had? I’ve only been able to get to 9th place
@@garrett3726 I've won maximus a lot in the regular mode. But, I don't play Invictus, it requires too much concentration. lol
You can sort your switch library by "play time" and then just make sure to launch those 5 games so they're on your recent activity list. For example, mine shows Dead Cells, FFXII Zodiac Age, Octopath Traveler, Y's VIII, and Smash Ultimate
Animal Crossing is a strange one for me. Because I do honestly feel like it's missing a ton of content that used to be in previous games and it feels like there isn't much to do in the game as a result. And yet, I've put in over 700 hours into it sooooooo...
On my Nintendo Switch, my most played games are : #1 Elder Scrolls Skyrim (1,560hrs), #2 UA-cam app (190hrs), #3 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (75 hrs), #4 Super Mario Odyssey (55 hrs), #5 Super Mario Maker 2 (40hrs).
Honourable mentions: Lego City Undercover (30hrs), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (25hrs). Zelda Breath of the Wild, Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles, and Event Horizon Space Defence are all tied at 5 hours each.
My #1 game is Skyrim by a huge margin because I never played it before getting a Switch.
"I didn't like Travis Strikes Again"
It's not a game for everyone but the story and narrative behind is just so good
I did complete twewy like 8 times now and each time i did it with a new set of powers etc. Not to mention i love the music in that game :D
