I haven't played many games that released in 2019, but this year I have played plenty of games that were new to me, so, expect to see a somewhat different list! To be honest, I wanna believe my lists are always pretty different from year to year, but this time it feels especially "newer". There was one particularly big change I made last year and was unsure about... it's been a year now, so I've pretty much settled my thoughts on that. Whether I regretted or stood by that change, well, only time will tell! But, before I get into the list, some disclaimers:
PLATFORMS - I'm only listing whatever platforms I've played each game on, or which platform the version I played is original to - I mean, if I played for example a game on the 3DS's Virtual Console, I'll just list whatever platform that game was originally from, because that's the version I played and not one unique to the 3DS.
YEAR - Also, the year I list is always the one from the earliest release, because that's the only thing that makes any sense.
YOY - Most here would know, but just to clarify, "YoY" stands for Year-on-Year, which is how much a game's position changed from last year.
Now, the list!
