2017 was insane! I also have to shout out DQXI for 2017, though I didn't play until the Switch version came out in 2019 (also a great year...).

Even though the episode's already aired, I still wanted to put my 2¢ in. I was torn between 2001 because that's when RuneScape came out and 2017 because that's when Miitopia released worldwide. But because of personal reasons I have a vendetta against the year 2017 in general, so I gave it to 2001. Oh, and all those other games are good too I guess :P
