Our 2025 year in review | Pure Nintendo Podcast E146
This week on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, Jemma, Kirk, and Trev reflect on their Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 years in review.
On last week’s show, we put our thinking caps on as we tried our best to guess what Nintendo might do in 2026. This week, we take one last look back at the year that was 2025. Nintendo just last week released players’ year-in-review data. We look at our busiest month, our top games, and how many hours we spent playing. One of us even cracked 1000 hours for the year!
We also delve into the latest news, including a new GameCube classic for Switch 2, a superb new demo, a major new Animal Crossing update, and some more awards news to wrap up 2025. We welcome back Kirk’s corner for 2026 as he highlights an upcoming game of interest, plus we dive into the games we’re playing, including Fantasy Life i, Dynasty Warriors: Origins, and Hollow Knight: Silksong. Enjoy the show!
It’s an exciting time for Nintendo fans, with this being the first full year of the Switch 2. There’s plenty to look forward to – and we certainly look forward to reporting on all things Nintendo each and every week in 2026.
