As someone that often waits for a sale before taking the plunge on a game, the titles played more often than not span releases from the past rather than those from present. This behaviour remained much the same this year, with my Nintendo Switch Year in Review proving just that, offering up a healthy dollop once again of gaming statistics to sink my teeth into and question whether I should try to cut down on my screen-time come the New Year… Nah!
It’s that time of year again folks! Yes, Christmas, but also Spotify Wrapped, the yearly compilation of all your glorious music listening habits rolled into a neat and stylish, statistical package for sharing on your socials. Fingers-crossed nothing embarrassing crops up this time round, eh?
Rounding out another year, besides Spotify Wrapped, it is the play statistics from Nintendo that I anticipate most. Charting which games I played most and when causes memories from across the year to come flooding back as I connect each gaming experience with a time and place. Let’s dive in!
Following on from my previous Spotify Wrapped blog post, Nintendo have now revealed my play statistics in a similar fashion for my Switch. Unlike with the 3DS, these statistics are no longer readily available on the console itself so receiving this information at the end of the year really does feel like a gift, even if it does reveal things best not shared with others…
Courtesy once again of the FWA, I have discovered this fantastic 3D globe integration tool for the web by Rally Interactive. I think I must be drawn to aspects of my recent projects as, just this morning, I transformed a snooker cue ball into a globe. Spooky. Making use of vast statistics, the data is displayed clearly and concisely upon interactive models. Just beware of leaving the webpage open too long. It eats computers.
With 2018 coming to a close, it is that time of year where Top 50s and Top 100s shows pop up all over the television schedule to bore you until the new year. Thankfully Spotify uses your own personal music habits to tailor such a list specifically to you, presenting it in a bold and vibrant way that is at once more interesting, and intriguing.
