How do you check your Nintendo Switch year in review for 2024?

You can see your Nintendo Switch year in review by completing these steps:

  1. Go to the Nintendo Switch Year in Review 2024 official page
  2. Sign in to your Nintendo account
  3. Select ‘Get Started’
  4. Scroll down to see what you’ve been up to throughout the year

Although you would think your year-in-review could be accessed on the system itself, you’ll need to use Nintendo’s official website instead. The process only takes a few minutes to complete until you eventually come across a few familiar icons from the beloved Mario franchise. If you want to keep these icons from moving around the page, mark off the ‘Reduce Motion’ check box in the top-right corner. This spot is also a place where you can change the language settings.
