I think it’s very likely that Nintendo considers non-turn-based RPGs as “action” games, particularly Xenoblade and also Legends Z-A.

23 games and 536 hours.

Top 3

Xenoblade Chronicles X - 149 hours
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth - 81 hours
Blasphemous 2 - 48 hours

The thing says my top game is Action because I technically played more Action games, but the majority of my time was spent on RPG's.  Xenoblade, Digimon Story, Bug Fables literally make up over half of my game time for the entire year.

January - Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana - 31 hours
February - Bot Vice - 8 hours
March - Xenoblade Chronicles X - 16 hours
April - Xenoblade Chronicles X - 42 hours
May - Xenoblade Chronicles X - 10 hours
June - Xenoblade Chronicles X - 36 hours
July - Xenoblade Chronicles X - 35 hours
August - Mario + Rabbids - 16 hours
September - Bug Fables - 32 hours
October - Blasphemous 2 - 48 hours
November - Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth - 72 hours
December - Metroid Prime 4 - 47 hours


This year I really need to make up the slack on my backlog.  Just a small handful of games made up the majority of my time last year.  I think I'm going to make 2026 the year of smaller indie titles because some of the larger games I played last year really made me feel burned out by the end.  Didn't help that I had a lot of stuff going on at work and at home in the first half of 2025 so I didn't have much time to play games which is why I ended up playing nothing but Xenoblade X for over 4 months straight.

So yeah my goal is to play at least 50 games this year.  I want to get a large variety of games played again before I jump back into any length RPG's.

As you can probably guess, my main goal in the latter half of the year was to get to Xenoblade 3 by finally completing my 8 year odyssey to force myself through the (total piece of ****) Xenoblade 2.
I am now planning to get caught up with the series myself. I have only played X but just acquired the first game and might be caught up in 8 years or so.

Good luck. Each of those games is at least 100 hours long, far more if you intend to do the side content and DLC. And you do need to play each of the numbered games in order.

I played 95 games this year
:o
It was a lot of returning to already purchased games, particularly a number of Switch releases on my Switch 2, in hopes of seeing base performance enhancements on the new hardware. But yes, I own way too many Switch games.

As for what I'm playing, January is becoming what should have been my Backlaugust. Wrapping up some games this month already. Just completed Super Mario Bros. Wonder by beating the Final Final test and getting the last badge. Once again, I have completed every game in the Mario platformer series both 2D and 3D. Now the Mario sports series.... that's a different story. However, doing that kind of got me amped up last night and probably stayed up a couple hours later than I should have. Also now feel less enthused about jumping into a couple of the other games I was thinking of going back to wrap up like XCX:DE. So, it's high and low feelings combined! Woo.

What games do you recommend for a beginer who has never played anything?  :-\

I recommend playing all the NES games you can then. With the NES, the videogame industry was still in its infancy so a lot of games are quite simple and controllers didn't have the amount of buttons that they do now. Since the games are simple they are quite easy so you should have a great time playing them, Mr. Spambot. A few good choices to start would be Metroid, Zelda II, and Ninja Gaiden. Happy gaming.
Just perusing this thread and had a nice chuckle. Profound perspective here.

Appreciate the comment.

Tried to put some more time into Switch gaming this past year, especially once I got my Switch 2 and had a more pleasant way to play them.

19 games. 367 hours.

Action was my favorite genre, which is rather perplexing considering the games I played on Switch this year.

January - Kirby & the Forgotten Land - 20 hrs
February - DKC Returns HD - 15 hrs
March -> June -  Nothing
July - DK Bananza - 14 hrs
August - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - 39 hrs
September - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - 21 hrs
October - Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - 14 hrs
November - Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - 77 hrs
December - Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - 75 hrs

As you can probably guess, my main goal in the latter half of the year was to get to Xenoblade 3 by finally completing my 8 year odyssey to force myself through the (total piece of ****) Xenoblade 2.

My top genre was “Action,” which is incredibly vague as a descriptor, but okay.

Based on your games, your top genre should be RPG right? I am curious what the possible game types are.
