Brawl is played more than Mario Kart Wii?

Good finding--proving once again that Brawl is superior to Mario Kart Wii in yet another way.

Sonic Unleashed was released in November. The article has it as September. One month on the market explains why the playtime is low.

I d/led the Nintendo channel but could never find the usage stats and didn't care about the demos/videos so I deleted it. Are the usage stats available to view straight from Nintendo channel or is it released by Nintendo? I don't know about everyone else but the Nintendo channel to me is pretty worthless. The only thing I thought would be cool was to check out my total play time and others.

Very interesting.
I know how to find out data on specific games.
But can I look up data on myself?

Nice. It's always good to have hard data to counter the pervasive anecdotal FUD out there

They're there for all to see, but it's a bit tricky to find them. I'm doing this off the top of my head (so anyone can correct me when I'm wrong), but to see these stats for a specific game go to "Recommend me a game" (or some such), find the title you're interested in, then scroll all the way to the very bottom. If the game has enough aggregate user data, it'll show you these numbers.

Okay, cool thanks noname2200. I guess I'll give the channel another try in the future.

That's also more or less how you pull up the list of DS downloadable demos, another crucial feature of the Nintendo channel.

Many games store the data themselves, such as Smash Bros. I don't think the Nintendo Channel catalogs that for you. If push comes to shove, your Wii does store all the time you've spent playing various games: I'm not sure if you can access that data at once, but I'm interested in finding out.

Nice stuff. I want to see my data. But then again, the average would go down on all games I own...
