It’s time to take stock of the past year — even for Nintendo Switch. Just like Spotify and TikTok, the Japanese company is allowing its users to look at their gaming year with the “Year in Review.” How long have you played video games on Nintendo Switch this year? What’s your favorite game? What is the day you played the most? A host of answers to discover.
It’s an ubiquitous trend at this time of year. Now it’s Nintendo Switch’s turn to give its players an overview of their activity during the extraordinary year that was 2020.
