We’re a couple of weeks into 2026, but Nintendo is already looking back at last year, releasing its annual year-in-review wrap-up for 2025. While Nintendo (and most companies and services) traditionally releases these summaries in December of each year, it pushed back its Switch wrap-up to January for reasons unstated.
While it missed the usual wave of yearly wrap-ups, the plus side is that Nintendo’s 2025 summary includes your December play time, so your many hours of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond just might eke out on your list of most-played games.
The personalized wrap-up sums up how many games you played on Switch and Switch 2 and how many hours you played, showing a month-by-month breakdown and evaluating your favorite game genres. Additionally, you can choose a favorite game you played this year and share a graphic that summarizes the data, and you can download a free 2026 calendar at the end to print out.
If you want to go further down the rabbit hole, Nintendo’s website also pulls Switch data going back to the console’s launch in 2017. If you’re patient enough to scroll all the way to the bottom, you can download a video that displays this data.
2025 was an important year for Nintendo, with the Switch 2 launching in June to massive sales success. Nintendo-published highlights in the Switch 2’s first months on the market included Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, and Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Indie hits like Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hades 2, along with third-party games previously released on other platforms like Cyberpunk 2077 and Star Wars Outlaws, also graced the Switch 2’s early software lineup.
In the coming year, Switch 2 owners may return to the timesink known as Animal Crossing: New Horizons with a cheap upgrade. Other upcoming Nintendo titles include Mario Tennis Fever, The Duskbloods, and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, with third-party offerings including Resident Evil Requiem and 007 First Light.
