Forums - Nintendo - Monster Hunter 3 now has highest Wii play time on US Nintendo Channel!

And people claim that the hardcore Nintendo gamer is the one that ignores 3rd parties. Even aside from the fact that a third-party game is in the top spot, there are only 6 (six!) Nintendo-made titles on that list.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Curses! I've tried to counter this fateful day by playing over 500 hours on Brawl while only playing a measly 4ish hours on MHTri so far. Looks like my plan has failed!

Well, now that that's failed, might as well start playing Tri again.

Oh... and I somewhat disagree that a game with the most hours played is the "most loved". But that's just me I guess...


You better try this game more, after the first 10ish hours it rules and is awesome, if you play more and go online I'll play with ya

 

ot: well desrved, second best wii game imo (but my highest wii played game........ in much less time than other games!!)

4 hours? Really? You need to play it more, it's awesome :)

ANYWAY...congrats! Though it's not a major thing, it's been like this for ages in the UK. Now it's number 1 EVERYWHERE! MWAHAHAHA!...

For those people who say time =/=love, tri playing this game. You'll understand you ned to love it to devote that amount of time to it...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I'm so happy to see Rune Factory Frontier up there.

It's actually my two most played games on the Wii - RFF, and over 400 hours of MH3.

wouldn't WoW be the most loved game of all time, if it was most hours played then? WoW is most loved game of all time :P


This is why I must counter this notion of hours=love! Especially since you can beat the Genesis Sonic games in a couple of hours!


You're forgetting replays count.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Graphs are meaningless. The interwebs already declared its d0med.



I can't wait for a thread about 3rd party core games failing on the Wii.

Oh wait...

I wish things like region covered were not specified in the bit at the bottom no-one reads.... and unless they collected for Mexico and Canada and averaged them out I don't think this is quite representative of N.America anyway (I think it is likely it's just U.S.A.... even though until the last paragraph you could be forgiven for thinking it mean the world)

Anyhow, interesting to see the graph of how things are moving.



Those numbers are inflated for sure. The Wii's "time played" counter doesn't stop when you hit the home button to pause. And I'm sure many of us do that or even just let the game run when we take breaks. That's why my No More Heroes and Muramasa play time on Nintendo Channel (or whatever is called) is recorded as 40 plus hours (when really I played about 30-35 of NMH across 3 playthroughs and 35 for Muramasa).
