So, here are the top three&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Top-2022.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"471\" src=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Top-2022.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Top-2022.png 864w, https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Top-2022-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Top-2022-768x419.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Xenoblade Chronicles 3<\/strong> takes the cake for sure, and I still have a <em>ton<\/em> of game left to play there. I don&#8217;t want to give too much away, but it&#8217;s definitely going to rank <em>high<\/em> on my 2022 GOTY list. <strong>Monster Hunter Rise<\/strong> got second billing because the Sunbreak expansion came out this year and I spent a lot of time grinding away at that with my brother. Lastly, and just squeaking in there at the end of the year, is <strong>Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/strong>, which is even a few hours richer than what it says above, because I&#8217;ve played it a bunch since these stats were delivered. Also, the assertion that I only played Pok\u00e9mon on 10 separate days <em>cannot<\/em> be right. It just can&#8217;t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The rest are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus &#8211; 60 hours<\/li><li>Pok\u00e9mon Shining Pearl &#8211; 51 hours<\/li><li>Triangle Strategy &#8211; 23 hours<\/li><li>Kirby and the Forgotten Land &#8211; 22 hours<\/li><li>Fitness Boxing 2 &#8211; 16 hours<\/li><li>Nintendo 64 Online &#8211; 10 hours<\/li><li>Castlevania Advance Collection &#8211; 9 hours<\/li><li>TMNT: Shredder&#8217;s Revenge &#8211; 6 hours<\/li><li>Evil Tonight &#8211; 4 hours<\/li><li>YumeNikki -Dream Diary- &#8211; 4 hours<\/li><li>Shovel Knight Dig &#8211; 3 hours<\/li><li>TMNT Cowabunga Collection &#8211; 3 hours<\/li><li>Silver Chains &#8211; 3 hours<\/li><li>Ring Fit Adventure &#8211; 2 hours<\/li><li>Happy Game &#8211; 2 hours<\/li><li>ElecHead &#8211; 1 hour<\/li><li>Mega Man X Collection &#8211; 1 hour<\/li><li>Haunted Zombie School &#8211; 42 minutes<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>My first thought is: why are games with such low play times ranking on my list? And then I realized that these are all 21 Switch games that I&#8217;ve played this year. Surprisingly few! Here are some other random notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have videos for <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/pYGRBlj-780\">TMNT: Shredder&#8217;s Revenge<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/9JEz_cOmVXE\">Evil Tonight<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/yTOLG9wXNGA\">YumeNikki<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/tMLnJXZ5xD4\">Shovel Knight Dig<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zDIdFigs77U\">TMNT Cowabunga Collection<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/fgCwHBK1RJE\">Silver Chains<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/j0J7IMMyXDc\">Happy Game<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vulUWv2zouI\">ElecHead<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Z90Jlb6BhYk\">Haunted Zombie School<\/a> on YouTube. At least five of those I likely would never have played if I wasn&#8217;t out to make video content. Can you guess which ones?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mega Man X Collection is on the list because of the annual Mega Man X playthrough. It&#8217;s almost time again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Castlevania Advance Collection&#8217;s hours are for a playthrough of Aria of Sorrow, which I started in the airport on the way home from New Jersey. It was very nostalgic, because Aria of Sorrow was the game I was playing (on an actual GBA, no less) the last time I flew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used Nintendo 64 Online solely to play Banjo-Kazooie. Kinda surprised it took me 10 hours, to be honest. Technically, NES Online and SNES Online should have an hour each as well, as I used them to play Vice: Project Doom and Super Valis IV, respectively. But that was after the stats were released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Fitness Boxing and RingFit hours are sorely lacking, as I kinda fell off them this year. But I did make up for the lost exercise by going running a lot more than usual, and playing an absolute buttload of BeatSaber and RagnaRock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kinda funny that I 100%ed Kirby in 22 hours, and only got halfway through Triangle Strategy in 23. I mean, obviously the RPG is longer, but I like the contrast there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I played a lot of Pok\u00e9mon this year! Especially when you consider that Shining Pearl was released in November of 2021 and I was going at it from day one (obvs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wonder how many games this thing would have listed if I&#8217;d played more than 21? 25?? 30??? More!?!?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve grown to really enjoy how Nintendo compiles your play history and presents it in statistical data for the year.
