So my most played Switch games this year are
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition (at 60+ hours or more, making it my #6th most played Switch game)
Okami HD (50+ hours or more, though you could probably detract about 10 from those given previous tries to beat the game)
Animal Crossing: New Horizons (at 35+ hours or more)
Final Fantasy VII (at 35+ hours or more)
Final Fantasy VIII (at 25+ hours or more)
Hollow Knight (at 25+ hours or more)
Link's Awakening (at 25+ hours or more)
...And once I finish them, I expect the Ace Attorney Trilogy, Mega Man Legacy Collection (already beat 1 + 2), Wonderful 101 Remastered, and the Castlevania Anniversary Collection to be in the 15+ hours tier. Also the Pikmin 3 Deluxe and 3D All-Stars Mario Collection once those games come out. At the same time, I also expect Paper Mario: Origami King and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity (assuming I get to that this year) to make it in that tier.
Just thought that was interesting given the discussion on this site about new games to play versus the Switch having enough games already for any first party shortages. I think I'm relatively pretty happy with that split, even if some of those original titles like Hollow Knight released a while ago, all the new games are pretty great and the remasters available consist of pretty iconic titles. Most importantly, they're all games I'd want to play whether this was a weak year or not (not something I can really say about some of the backlog titles I still own ... like Golf Story to be honest). I think 1 relatively new-ish remake, 1 very good remaster (worse OST notwithstanding) with an optional epilogue campaign attached to it, a life simulator that depending on the person could end up being quite the time sink, and a new Paper Mario and Hyrule Warriors, is a pretty decent hall, even if the newness of remakes/remaster-overhauls is up for debate.
I'm not trying to start up a toxic discussion or anything, just thought it was interesting to note my personal gaming pattern. But yea, when you include remasters it's actually been a fairly busy year for me on the Switch. Hollow Knight and Xenoblade definitely being the highlight thus far.
