Top 5 Favorite Streamed Games of 2022

2022 was a great year, and although my streaming time was shorter than in years past, I wanted to kind of give my thoughts on the top 5 games that I streamed (according to hours streamed) on Twitch this year!

5. Mario Party Superstars

Who doesn’t love a good game of Mario Party? A lot of times throughout especially the beginning of 2022, I had a ton of fun playing Mario Party boards with friends. The games were fun, and although we still don’t currently have DLC for the game, I have made some memorable moments with friends!

Huge shout out to all of the friends I played Mario Party Superstars with this year:

• KirikTheOrc
• WatermelonOrc
• Chuckleton
• Tigre5012
• Sir_Lefty
• CurbyB0i
• TheArcadeBear
• PunkJax

I think that’s my favorite part of Mario Party…playing with others…

4. Pokémon: Shining Pearl

For some reason, I skipped this generation when it originally came out on the DS. It was interesting venturing into the Sinnoh region and went in blind. I don’t know how far I would’ve gotten in the game if I had not streamed it. I can’t say that it would be my favorite generation, but I enjoyed the experience!

3. Banjo-Kazooie

This obviously shouldn’t surprise anyone that Banjo-Kazooie shows up in the list of games I play the most on a stream. This year, there was a Banjo-Kazooie randomizer that was released, and I really enjoyed playing through the game in a new and fresh way. I don’t think there were any ROM hacks that I played this year, but maybe? Being the third highest in stream time, I don’t know if there was anything else, but the randomizer is worth my time. I would consider doing another seed or so in the future…

2. Earthbound

I had never played Earthbound before, and it was fun taking the journey and COMPLETING the game! The humor in the game was hilarious, and the game was honestly difficult. I was thankful that I was able to finish it without too much trouble.

1. Pokémon Legends: Arceus

It’s funny that this year I not only explored Sinnoh, but also its ancestor region of Hisui. This game was massive, so it’s understandable that it’s the most streamed game of mine in 2022. It was so interesting getting to see the historic region of Hisui and seeing connections to the current day, especially since I was playing Shining Pearl around the same time.

Honorable mentions go to Mario Party 2 (Top Game for Average Viewers) and Sonic Adventure DX (Top Game for Max Viewers) for being the top games when sorting by other data.

I’ve been so thankful this year for everyone who has participated, supported, or lurked in the streams that I’ve done this year. What were your favorite streams this year? Do you have any games you are looking forward to seeing in 2023? Are there specific games you want me to stream? Let me know! Either comment on this post, or let me know on social media!
