We had actual birthday parties in Animal Crossing New Horizons (since, y'know, we couldn't have them in person at the time...) and that really cements that game - that whole experience - as pretty special in my mind. Great job as always, Alex, I love how you combine enthusiasm with chill vibes, it's *chef's kiss.

[@qualitea_individual]

Absolutely!! One of my favorite early NH memories is hanging out in friends’ museums until like. 4AM and just being so happy that I could still talk and hangout with my friends!! And THANK YOUUUUU❤️ that means a lot😭

[@elozone3014]

My most played games are: 1. Splatoon 3 = 920 hours 2. Animal crossing NH = 450 hours 3. Xenoblade chronicles 3 = 390 hours 4. Fire emblem 3H = 280 hours 5. Pokemon diamond pearl = 160 hours

[@McSmurfy]

I am getting Splatoon 3 tomorrow and I see you like it a lot, so does it feel compared to Splatoon 2?

[@elozone3014]

@McSmurfy the game have a lot of new content, you can play salmon run any time (my favorite mode), the season splatfest are great and the story mode continues the lore.

[@McSmurfy]

@elozone3014 Okay, thank you. Have it now and I don't know what salmon run is, but sounds fun. So far, I like the bow and roller, but I need more time to see what is better for me.

[@zashinunes8191]

How did you know how much time you have on these?

[@JoeNayDoh]

Don't have my Switch on me at the moment, but I'd be shocked if I played any game more on my Switch than Monster Hunter Rise. Well over 100 hours in the last time I checked. Ended up being my most played game of 2021 and 2022 and I didn't even pick up the Sunbreak expansion for it which would have easily doubled my time I'm sure. Edit: Updating with Top 5: 1) Monster Hunter Rise - 180 Hours 2) Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 - 70 Hours 3) Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu - 70 Hours 4) Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - 40 Hours 5) Metroid Dread - 20 Hours

[@zachary37]

I've probably played like 300 or so hours with Rise + Sunbreak and am thinking of going back for more lol...such a good game

[@ThePhil-Osopher]

I don’t know why but it’s oddly refreshing to see someone who just doesn’t have a lot of hours on the switch. It’s nice to see that you aren’t attached to the hip with it.

[@McSmurfy]

My top 5 (only recently fully gave my switch attention, so now I am getting time in): Monster Hunter Rise - 60 Hours Nier Automata The End of YoRHa Edition - 40 Hours Immortals Fenyx Rising - 35 Hours Assassin's Creed The Rebel Collection - 30 Hours Warframe - 30 Hours

[@drumd00d]

My longest-played game on Switch was Shin Megami Tensei V. And now there's a re-release (Vengeance) coming out in a few weeks with a totally new, second campaign, and changes to make the first campaign different enough. I loved that game and when I have the time I'll definitely go back and sink even more hours into Vengeance.

[@qualitea_individual]

I can’t wait to get to SMT V!! Hoping to play it at some point this year!!

[@lane_blvd]

haven’t watched your vids in a few weeks. love your new hairstyle!

[@Mike_jmg9]

Super Smash Bros Ultimate - 1460 hours or more Tears of the Kingdom - 220 hours Breath of the Wild - 185 Hours Doom "2016" - 45 hours Megaman X legacy collection - 35 hours I guess I should clarify the reason of the insane number for Smash. I basically missed the last 3 smash games and I sucked at It big time. Where I'll always lose against my brothers and some friends who play the game. After fourteen hundred plus hours of grinding, I can finally put up a decent fight, and the game has become actually fun, where now is a 50/50 on who will win between me and them. It probably is my most played game of all time LOL. TOTK and BOTW, I had to go and get all the Shrines. All of my other games average 15-20 hours or so. honorable mentions, Tunic and Metroid Dread, since they're amazing games.

[@Megazord716]

My most played games on switch are Monster Hunter Rise, Animal Crossing NH, Pokemon Scarlet, Dragon Quest 11 S, Fire Emblem Engage, and No Man's Sky. I like to think that's a decent variety of genres :) Btw, I think its super cool that your mom plays games!

[@Jess_Cozy_Corner]

I've spent most my time on Animal Crossing & BOTW. Animal Crossing the most because it was my game of the pandemic. I loved it so much. Soon TOTK will be up there as well when I am finally able to get it 😊

[@spacecowboy3344]

That's a pretty solid list. Mine's similar, just substitute Octopath Traveller with Triangle Strategy. I'm still on the fence about trying it out for myself. And the one that got me through a really dark time was Breath of the Wild, although it was my second playthrough, the experience was just as magical as the first. Nice channel you have here. You have a very pleasant voice and demeanor. I wish you all the best and I hope your channel continues to grow. You got a new sub from me.

[@qualitea_individual]

That’s awesome! Breath of the Wild is definitely a very special game, so I get it for sure! And thank you tons!!!! That really means a lot to me!!

[@femtrooper]

Amazing! Those are some serious playtimes!

[@adamkahmann2937]

Without looking, I believe these are my most played games (that have over 100 hours on them) 1. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (~150 hours) 2. Bug Fables (~130 hours) 3. Breath of the Wild (~120 hours) 4. Nintendo 64 Virtual Console (~115 hours) 5. Tears of the Kingdom (~110 hours) 6. Dark Souls (~110 hours) 7. Pokemon Shield (~110 hours) 8. Slay the Spire (~110 hours) Now if I actually ranked these games by how much I like them (funny how it doesn't necessarily match up with play time) 1. Nintendo 64 Virtual Console (kinda cheating, but I don't care) 2. Dark Souls 3. Slay the Spire 4. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 5. Breath of the Wild 6. Tears of the Kingdom 7. Bug Fables (P.S. There is wide gap here) 8. Pokemon Shield

[@MagillanicaLouM]

Mine are Omega Strikers, ARMS and Valkyria Chronicles 4. An awesome indie free pvp that can be summarized as anime soccer air hockey, Nintendo's fun unique take on an older but niche style of fighting game that i personally think is one of the coolest things they've ever made, and then Sega's own (newest) awesome take on the strategy RPG genre set in an interesting fictional 1920s-30s parallel with gameplay based on the older combat system of another Sega series i love in Sakura Wars. So yeah, a random as hell line-up on switch ranging from developers, publishers, and genres for me

[@GeminiSunrise06]

I can't wait for the next animal crossing. This one is less oriented on villagers. Hence i put only 80h into animal crossing. Your hour count overall is impressive! I love this kinda topic. Nowaday i don't put a ton of hours into games. My most is persona 5 royal with 112h (obviously the game is long). Xenoblade 3 took me 91h (i rush the end but what a blast). I just finished Octopath 2 yesterday with 50h count 😅 did rush most of early chapters and even skip them since i already did them on ps5 (i'm switch only atm). Octopath 2 is definitly less grindy than the first one. Character lvl don't really matter, you can beat the final boss (true ending) with lvl 5x characters. Gears is what matter, so doing quests, stealing, buying to npc is a must (exploration of course too).

[@gaius5901]

My Top 5 for my Switch 1. Monster Hunter Rise - 345+ hours 2. TotK - 320+ hours 3. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate - 235+ hours 4. The Witcher 3 - 225+ hours 5. BOTW - 190+ hours 6. Hades - 180+ hours

[@Irapa7]

Iactually just started playing the post game after like a year, and i agree with everything you said! So much content! Im currently lookiing for all the outfits without help :D So much fun!

[@LatashaMoore-y7r]

I'm grateful to you for make this videos you are a very kind person 😇

[@hashdankhog8578]

I am annoyed because my switch doesnt display correct play times anymore, it says that I have 960 hours in mario kart but when I sort games by play time it is placed below minecraft which has 102 hours. So I dont know what my actual play times are

[@qualitea_individual]

What the heck! That’s so strange, I wonder why😶

[@infernofoxgaming10]

I think my top spot is still Smash Bros. Surprising since I’ve played first player games extensively! I think Three Houses would be 4th on my list too ☺️

[@nms0805]

My most played game is also Animal Crossing New Horizons! It kept me going through Covid and really became an Animal Crossing fan through pouring my life into this game. This was a fantastic 1st game for me to get into the series! I don't have an exact hour count, but I think my play time was well over 800 hours lol.

[@mrwii5741]

Wow it’s really cool that you’re big into Nintendo! I am also! The Nintendo Switch games I’ve played the most is Breath of the Wild! I beat 72 shrines and got the 2 Divine beasts! I also really like Pokemon Sword I got all of my Pokemon from Pokemon bank that I played on my 3DS on Pokemon home! I really hope Donkey Kong 64 and Super Smash Brod come to Nintendo Switch Online! You got a really cool channel I could tell you go really in depth in your videos and that’s what I like in the same way! 😊 you got some quality KZbin videos and I will check out more of your videos! I’m Mr Wii! 😄

[@90shandheldgamer]

Great video! I think my number 1 played Switch game is probably Three Houses.

[@markasscop]

Smash Ultimate for sure clears as my most played game at something like 630 something hours, and actually on that note, remember the Nintendo Channel on the Wii? I remember that having a game tracker too and I remember Brawl being my most played at like 1000 hours, I seriously played that game daily for a couple years

[@pokemonislife1510]

Metroid Dread is the game that i've completed the most (over 10 times). However, i only have 90 hours in the game. lol Thats less than both Zeldas and Fire Emblem titles.

[@jjminor]

It’s a great game! I’ve played it a ton and beaten it on every difficulty at least 3 times. It’s an interesting game because it took me about 12 hours the first time and just over 2 the last for 100 percent completion. Great game!

[@pedrobeckup456]

My most played games: 1- Xenoblade 2 + Torna: 119 hours 2- Zelda Botw: 116 hours 3- Skyrim: 74 hours 4- Pokémon LegendsAr: 62 hours 5- Mario Odyssey: 56 hours But I have some 170 hours of Xenoblade 1 on Wii counting both my saves

[@bertyd2124]

1. SSBros. Ult 825hr 2. AC New Horizens 770hr 3. FE Three Houses 505hr 4. Zelda BOTW 180hr 5. Octopath Traveler 160hr I was a bit shocked that Octopath 2 was only 120hrs and didn't even makes the list for how much I loved the game!

[@Laz3rCat95]

Most of mine are in the 30-65 hour range. I only have one game that I have put over 100 hours in so far. That game is Pokemon Violet with 110 hours. Super Mario Odyssey came in 2nd at 65 hours, then after that I have multiple games tied at 55 or 50 hours.

[@janek2714]

My most played is Final Fantasy! :)

[@valleyofthedawlz]

I didn't do the final secret boss in Octopath Travel 2 cuz I was tired of grinding lol

[@andrerw8125]

My3 most played games on Nintendo Switch: 1. Mario Kart 8: 275h 2. Slay the Spire: 120h 3. World of Solitaire: 70h My Wife 3 most played games on Nintendo Switch: 1. Binding of Isaac Repentance: 600h 2. Mario Kart 8: 290h 3. Super Smash Bros Ultimate: 40h

[@kevingarywilkes]

Very cool overview. It would be cool to hear more about your life in your videos.

[@PhoenixKeebs]

I'm playing through tears of the kingdom right now on my switch for the first time and loving it. I probably won't do multiple playthroughs since holding the switch really hurts my hands. Hopefully they make the switch 2 more comfortable and put the right joy con in a more comfortable spot.

[@qualitea_individual]

I definitely understand this! I have carpal tunnel syndrome so I have to usually have a grip case on my switch to make it comfy in handheld! Hopefully the make the next system more naturally ergonomic😅

[@Sarah-Weasley64]

I’m playing TOTK for the first time as well. I usually play online games on my switch. You should hook it up to your tv and get a pro controller. I have one and I love it!

[@angietrif]

235 hours in breath of the wild is by far my most played game! After that it’s smash bros at like 150 hours, and TOTK at 100 hours! I typically play 40-60 hour games!

[@qualitea_individual]

Yeah, I feel like Smash is a big one for a lot of people!! I honestly didn’t play a ton of Ultimate so I think my playtime is only around 40/50😭😭

[@j.pearce3981]

i had the same experience with fallout3 saving my sanity in 2009

[@jusuke1980]

over 100 hour games are all the xenoblades, totk, botw, smt v and vengeance, persona 5, harvestella, yokai 4, cold steel 3 & 4. most played switch game is xenoblade 2 at like 300+ hours. most played game of all time is probably xenoblade 1 once i add switch, wii and 3ds hours together at probably 600 hours -_-

[@wolverinescratch]

I been playing Zelda TOTK...a lot

[@xxxprincethe2nd793]

I mostly play lego star wars the Skywalker Saga I love that game so much but my most played game is super mario maker 2

[@ravenpoe7093]

Im surprised i already have 111 hours in Stitch since i only had it since end of April. ACNH is over 2000

[@cozymandydee]

I believe mine are: 1. Animal Crossing New Horizons (780 hours) 2. Fire Emblem Three Houses (505? hours) 3. Rune Factory 5 (225 hours) 4. Rune Factory 4 Special (170 hours) 5. Stardew Valley (130 hours) I think I generally spend 40-60 hours on games

[@qualitea_individual]

Yesssss the Rune Factory representation! I’m interested to see how much time I’ll put into those games when I finally get to them👀

[@cozymandydee]

@@qualitea_individual Pretty sure I put 500+ hours into the 3DS version of Rune Factory 4! It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I find it so fun and charming!

[@randyrrs7028]

My most played game on the switch is pokemon shield at 465 hours, then pokemon lets go pikachu at 75 hours

[@itsjacobj]

My Top 5: Unicorn Overlord (85+ hours) Pokémon Violet (120+ hours) Fire Emblem Engage (215+ hours) Animal Crossing New Horizons (455+ hours) Fire Emblem Three Houses (660+ hours)

[@qualitea_individual]

THREE HOUSES YES. I’m so glad 3H is up there for so many people😭

[@itsjacobj]

@@qualitea_individual Three Houses is honestly in my top four (maybe top three) FE games, and it’s definitely the one I’ve spent the most time on-three or four Blue Lions runs, same number of Golden Deer, two Black Eagles (one unfinished), and one secret fourth thing. Plus DLC 😅

[@robinforsgren]

Most played is Mario Odyssey😊

[@uppernimbus]

Great video, Alex! I do agree that Breath of the Wild felt more magical than Tears of the Kingdom since it was the first time exploring that version of Hyrule. I'm just as guilty of sinking WAY too many hours into New Horizons, that game is endless 🤣

[@qualitea_individual]

Exactly! I think back to when NH came out and I just remember spending like 12 hours alone trying to catch the Stringfish before it was out of season😭 especially with the DLC, that added even more time on for me!!

[@uppernimbus]

@@qualitea_individual So relatable! 💯

[@mr_m4613]

My most played games... Animal crossing new horizons (3,935 hours) Super smash brothers ultimate (2,470 hours) Breath of the wild (940 hours) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (430 hours)

[@qualitea_individual]

Yessss big hours!!! That’s awesome!

[@AlucardHV]

one thing to keep in mind: the switch is awful at logging hours. If during all these years you logged your account into another switch, chances are that those numbers are way off

[@gamingguru2k6]

You know what makes this kind of funny. Lookup MetalJesusRocks' Most played switch games video. He's played dozens of hours, because he's just a fake gamer girl. If you know anything about retro gaming KZbinrs, it's that they don't play games.

[@Matthew7772005]

How do you found out top 5 games by hours played? I know it's Animal Crossing. It got me through the pandemic. Over 1000 hours. I got everything in museum except art.

[@qualitea_individual]

I had to physically put my carts in and boot up the games to find out-it was…exceedingly tedious😂😂

[@Matthew7772005]

No wonder. Wow. Thank you. Loved the video.

[@the3xit762]

Go to your game library click sort by time played. It will be in order of time spent playing. If you want the hours you can get an approximate by booting up those 5 games and checking your profile. Otherwise you have to use a third party website to check the exact specifics of how long you spent playing.

[@telmaneves946]

well I have 2140 hours of Animal crossing, I think 400 is pretty low 😅, and i still play it 🙂 Absolutely love that game.

[@qualitea_individual]

That’s awesome!! You’re up there with my mom in hours-I think the reason I’m on the “lower side but still a lot” is because my designer skills are relatively subpar so I never spent a ton of time on making every inch of my island perfect😂😂

[@telmaneves946]

My designer skills are horrible, specially inside the houses 😅

[@lwiay84]

I have about 22 million hours in animal crossing, New horizon or somewhere around there😂

[@sosahaus5999]

the game with the most hours on my switch is smash with 1121 hours : O

[@qualitea_individual]

Yessss, the big Smash hours!! As much as I really loved Ultimate, I feel bad that I didn’t get as into as I did Smash 4 and Melee😅😅

[@Muggles3130]

Maybe Tetris 99 for me

[@AgahnimDarkWizard]

I definitely notice how she used to heart and reply to comments, but not any more
