Edit: These are NOT strictly the 3 most played games, better description of the situation here
Today Nintendo launched a website called "My Nintendo Switch History 2021" for Japanese users that allowed them to look back at their 2021 on the Switch and share the results on Twitter.
/#MySwitchHistory quickly reached n1 trending in Japan and WorldWide (it currently still is n1 worldwide), and alongside it 3 games went trending as people shared their own top 3:
- Monster Hunter Rise*. It launched March last year and became last year's best selling game in Japan.
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Pyra and Mythra were included in Smash Ultimate in February, and according to this article (japanese) the characters were very popular among the Smash playerbase, leading to shortages of XC2 physical copies.
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons. AC:NH is Japan's best selling game of all time so no real surprise here, and it also received a massive free update and a paid DLC later last year.
