Share your Switch Library by Playtime! (Image heavy)

totofogo · Mar 28, 2020

All this talk of ARMS got me to unearth it from deep in my Switch library and give it another look (hey, marketing works!)

While doing that, I was inspired to clean out some of my demos and take a look at my library sorted by playtime in order to put this quarantine time to use. Turns out there are a good number of games I totally left in the dust.. shocker, a backlog on Switch! Tonight I'll be diving back into Splatoon 2 and ARMS. Doom also warrants a return.

Three years in, how are your libraries looking era? Will you be returning to anything while in isolation?

EDIT: If sharing your whole list is too much trouble, feel free to drop your top 5! I'll collect all the responses together in a spreadsheet at some point.

Here's mine:

Number one and two: BOTW @ 115 Hours and Odyssey (shocker)
"I bought that?": Sonic Team Racing & Naruto Trilogy lol
Lower than expected: LM3! Gotta return to 100% that, only did a story playthrough.
Prediction: Ring Fit will take over the number 1 spot
# of Titles: 68 (incl. demos, apps, etc. after cleaning out a bunch)

Demos left are placeholders for games I intend to buy on sale
I put a bunch of time into the Demo Ver. of DQ: XIS and have yet to really commit to the full game, so it's hour count is lower.
Mario Tennis Aces was a NSO Trial, will pick it up someday

You win if AC:NH is already your number one.

Animal Crossing is coming up

darkazcura · Mar 28, 2020

How do you take a full image like that?

Daouzin · Mar 28, 2020

Mine is basically demos and Smash at like 450+ hours. I have like Zelda near the top and Tetris 99, as well as octopath Traveler.

It's my Portable gaming device/Ultimate Machine.

I'm assuming the screenshot function a few times and then using a program like paint or photoshop to merge them.

i took several screenshots and used an image editor to stitch them together.

The Dink · Mar 28, 2020

Jesus. How have I already put almost 100 hours into Animal Crossing?

monali · Mar 28, 2020

I will post an image later, anyway I have
Odyssey, BOTW, Hollow Knight, Steam Dig 2, Monkey barrels, Messenger, Morio+Rabbids and Yoshi Crafted world

The most played is Odyssey 60+h

Sadly I can't afford Animal Crossing ATM.

Dest · Mar 28, 2020

Ok, here ya go. I haven't played a lot of these mind you.

-Tetsuo- · Mar 28, 2020

Is there a way to just get the hours played? Mine just says first played x days ago.

Thanks to all who have shared!

Right shoulder button when you are viewing "All Software". If you don't see it (in the top right of the screen in the screenshots we shared) you may need to update your Switch OS. It was added in at some point.

You've got me wanting to download the JPN NSO collections just to have those icons on my dash lol.

I got a Switch Lite yesterday, and it's up to date.

Edge · Mar 28, 2020

Well, I won.

And here's why.
My last 10 days of playing Switch, all my daily times. 100% Animal Crossing only.

On 2 BotW with around 80 hours.
On 3 Pokemon Shield with 60 hours.

Ah! Perhaps you don't have enough software. When you scroll all the way to the right, eventually you hit a limit of how many titles you can hold on the homepage and have to view an "All Software" grid.

Rhomega · Mar 28, 2020

Got it.

Ayyy, threadmarked. First place prize goes to you lol.

Lmao. Animal Crossing is my number 1 game and I've had my switch for 2 years. That quarantine lifestyle

After a week or so you'll be able to see hours estimates on your profile in the top left though. Where it currently says "first played x days ago".

Benzychenz · Mar 28, 2020

Animal Crossing has overtaken Pokemon and Mario Kart already, it's coming for that crown.

1. Breath of the Wild - old enough that I can't even see it on my profile page anymore?? We need a proper activity log Nintendo!
2. Xenoblade 2 - 175 hours
3. Smash Ultimate - 95 hours
4. Octopath - 85 hours
5. Animal Crossing - ??? too recent
6. Pokemon Sword - 60 hours
7. Mario Kart - 50 hours

Xavi · Mar 28, 2020

The lack of splatoon is disgusting. Here's mine

Splatoon 2 will never be dethroned. Switch tracker says I've played 1090 hours.

aiswyda · Mar 28, 2020

From what I recall for the top row:
FE3H - 240 hours
Splatoon - 170 hours
Stardew - 130 hours
Xenoblade - 130 hours (includes Torna)
Octopath - 85 hours
AC - still hasn't popped up, but around 80 I'd assume.

Civ is about 65, everything else until into the breach is around 25-40 hours. Into the Breach - Katamari ~ 10 -15 hours, everything else is 5 or less. Haven't ever opened Youtube or AI: Somnium Files.

Fire Emblem - 105+
Xenoblade 2 - 95+
BotW - 65+
Dark Souls - 65+
Astral Chain - 25+
Smash - 25+
Animal Crossing - Not sure since I haven't passed 10 days, but I assume it's at least 25+ if not more

Everything else is less than that.

bixente · Mar 28, 2020

Unfortunately my original Switch died and I lost the playtime recorded on my games. From what I recall however:

Tetris 99 - 750 hours.
Botw - 240 hours.
Xeno 2 - 180 hours.
Odyssey - 160 hours.
Levels+ - 140 hours.
Splatoon 2 - 130 hours.
Three Houses - 110 hours.
Hollow Knight - 100 hours.

Animal Crossing will soon join these titles.

Way too many games to screencap them all... but here's my first three rows.

Top 5:
SSBU: 340+
Three Houses: 215+
BOTW: 130+
Hyrule Warriors: 105+
Pokemon Sword: 70+

The fact that I spent more time on Beach Buggy Racing than The Witcher 3 shows you having a kid just destroys the amount of time you can spare to play games. Some games I feel like I've played a lot only show like three, five, 10 hours, and I only feel that way because I've been playing them for months but I have so little time to actually play that it doesn't amount to much.

The top 9 games all came out before my son was born, and the following three came out when my wife went to Japan with him for two months.
