What Wii Owners Play

after all the time I put into Lego Star Wars myself, i'm glad it at least made the list. :3

i may be committing suicide by saying this, but i think smash bros is really over rated, unfun, and pretty much sucks in every way. I really can't understand how someone can get so much time out of it!

Okay, what do you dislike about it?

I've never liked a single Smash Bros. title. They seem so pointless and redundant to me. But I know they're very popular, so power to those who enjoy them. I'm sure they feel the same way about my undying love of shmups as well.

I never cared for Smash Bros. either. I'm suprised Mario Kart Wii isn't on the list.

Add me to list of those bored by all things Smash (well, maybe not Smash TV).

I have little basis for this, but sometimes I wonder if it is a generational matter; I don't know any Nintendo fans who grew up in the NES days who obsess over Smash. It seems to primarily interest those for whom the N64 hit in their peak gaming years. Likewise perhaps with Pokemon, which is at best an odd footnote in Nintendo history as far as I'm concerned, but enormously important to those who grew up when it was featured on the GB/C. Then again, as I said, I don't really have much basis for these assumptions, only anecdotal evidence.

I'm a little tired of SSB. However, when I got Brawl, I put in about 200 hours in the first 2 months. Then I stopped playing it for about 6 months. Now I think i play it about an average amount. When I get into a game, I do weird things like that.

Smash rocks simple ass!
Easy to pick up yet takes an age to master. Which is why you either really get into it, or really don't.

Add my love of Nintendo, to the orgy of fan service unlockable in Smash, and you find a happy man.

ps... UNITED! ^.

@Wario
I was born with the NES, and most of my friends who play Smash Brothers were. I'm not shocked people don't like it, but I don't think there is a neat little explanation for this. It's just like any other game with its fans and detractors.

@Adam

Fair enough; as I said, all I had to go on was weak anecdotal evidence. Apparently it just didn't catch on with many people around me other than a couple younger relatives.

What TV ventures?

@MarkyVigoroth: Co-creating "Hogan Knows Best."

I am amazed at how high City Folk shot up in just a short time. If its altitude continues to increase at this rate it will be #1 within the next few months.

@Corbie: You read my mind!

@warioswoods: I agree with Adam, just in case it matters. Gotta watch that weak anecdotal evidence, I guess. Thanks for admitting that's all you were going on from the start, though. A lot of people on the internet don't seem to bother with that and come up looking like they're backpedaling.

As for the stats, it seems to me that the average for Brawl is pretty low. Of course, "per player" REALLY means "per system" and doesn't account for hours upon hours of local four-player madness.

I tend to find that the way I play Nintendo games, the average listed on the Nintendo Channel is NEVER high enough to match my playtime. That's what happens when people download or buy games, try them out a little bit, and wind up hating them. A bunch of one or two hour players will REALLY bring down the average from us 200+ hours players.

mario kart wii not on list find that hard to believe

Brawl is the greatest game in history since Ocarina of Time. I almost cry at the thought of when I first heard the fully orchestrated music on the Star Fox stage.

No, River City Ransom is the best game ever, becuase I like it.

Seriously guys, if your going to praise a game calling it the best game ever, at least back up your argument a little more than "fully orchestrated music on the Star Fox stage."

Also, try and not say "the greatest", but rather "my favorite". Trust me, it'll prevent flame wars.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is awesome game, fun, and very addicting.

since I bought Mario Kart Wii,Brawl is collecting dust.I don't know why...

I don't know any Nintendo fans who grew up in the NES days who obsess over Smash.

Well now you know 1, & I have 6 friends from the same age group that love Smash bros too.

Nice to see that Smash Bros. is on the list and at the top too!but where's Mario Kart Wii?

I'm also a NES fan who's clocked in 150 hours on Brawl, and sadly it's all single player mode, wait... I've played 3 games online, lol.

And yes Corb.. I hate schmups
