Looks like there are peeps who are playing some "hard core" games...which is good. But there are some games (like my fav Wario Land Shake it) which isn't played much at all.

I believe that. I played Brawl 9 or 10 hours the first day.

I can't remember the last time I played a first-party game.

I'm playing Disaster right now.

I only played Brawl for about 6 Hours, Ecco the dolphin got longer when I downloaded it.

If only I could play Wii Sports again! Scratched up disc, yo.)

Anyone have any suggestions where to get in NA, other than auction sites?`

It's nice to see Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn up there. That's a SRPG on my get-soon list. I really had fun playing FE:PR(GCN) and it's ok if it doesn't really utilize the Wii Remote as 'traditional Wii' game.

Try contacting Nintendo, I'm sure they'd sell you a replacement at the very least.

That's fascinating info. I now know that I'm above average in terms of 'time spent playing games', which I would have guessed but it's nice to see it laid out like that. Of all the games i have played on that list (about 75%), I have easily played way more than those average's. I am h-core!

I excluded Excitebots of course, I've logged a few hours imagining playing it, but not actually had a go yet. NoE!?!?!?

Thanks Sean-dude, I'll check 'em out some time.

And this webpage from the same site as Source from first post, shows 'Top ten most avidly played wii games in America as of July 1'.

Sampling: Animal Crossing seems to have the fastest growing 'play-rate':
Dec. 08 14:00hrs to 54:16hrs up to July 09 (average total hours per gamer)

Yeah, download and check out the Nintendo Channel on your Wii for more info and statistics,
like for certain age group, type of game, and a few more. You can make recommendations too
(once past a certain time-frame and such).
Or that;s how other statistics are made, too.

Oh, and Machu, at some point in my gaming experiences, I had to read the Game Manual first,
before even playing (they do tell you how to start and how to play! lol) for me to get most out
of spending over $50 for a game, case, booklet...however, I do that at any point in playing a game now, mostly.
But I always like reading the manuals! lol There's some good tips and artwork to be seen!

Good to see that games like Brawl and Guitar Hero are being played a lot! But I still think more games need to be sold on the Wii, and I do hope more and more Wii owners would buy games.
