Nintendo Channel data I bet. Not too surprising, Brawl had to be dethroned someday, Mario Kart is surprisingly low though.

HeavyMetalKirby

No. While I think it is probably a really good game, I am not the kind of gamer who finds it enjoyable to spend an hour or two figuring out how to kill a monster. Call it monster ADD if you will, but building up my character's skills and collecting items to build better weapons for the purpose of hunting bigger monsters doesn't get me excited.

Still, I don't think some videos on YouTube can really show you what this game is all about, and the people who like obviously really like it.

Yeah, videos don't do it justice. It's the total "carrot in front of a mule" trick that gets you hooked... like me! I own almost ALL of the Wii's major releases (SSBB, Mario Galaxy, et. al.) and this game just NEVER ends. I've put in about 200 hours I think and I had to take a couple of breaks from it, but I was quickly back at it again. I don't think I'll ever get tired of MH3 :P

That's no surprise, its a game that requires a lot of grinding, you can spend hours trying to get one piece of armor set, let alone the whole thing. Many of the games at the top of the list are games like that, where you can spend hours trying to achieve a particular goal. Though to be honest I think if Brawls online had actually worked, it would have never ceded first place.

You know, I was about to ask the same stupid question until I remember that Wii console keeps track of how long to play a certain game. The data is probably being sent through Nintendo channel...:P

I find this surprising. Are these worldwide numbers? I find it very hard to believe that people in the west has played this so much. I personally don't like the game very much, but I do see the appeal. I think the controls are too stiff and the overall game gets repetitive after a while.

Great Online, Good controls, Control Options, First game to come with ccpro, Good Graphics, Friend codes as well as player name search, HUGE monster fights, Awesome Customization, Weapon Elements, and more. Was there any doubt? I'm actually surprised that Tatsunoko vs Capcom isn't on the list.

Eh I've tried the demo of it and didn't really like it but I can see thats its a great game if you're into this style of game. Perhaps I should give the demo another shot and see if it changes my mind.

The demo doesn't give a great representation of the full game. it gives a view of the combat system, but not much else. I say give the full game a rent, rather than going by what the demo had

I put in over 100 hrs into this game, and no where near done. However, I don't know if I'd ever finish as I haven't played this game in months. You really got get into the mindset of properly prepping for battle and getting the next level or item. I have to mentally prepare myself of brace to play this game. Don't get me wrong...I love it, whenever I feel like playing. Also, I don't spend as much time gaming, and fall into cycle of buying new games I never finish...lol.

bballer1024
MKW was my most played wii game at just over 400 hours. I just cracked 425 hours on tri yesterday. I've made all but two weapons in my class and eight sets of armor. the controls are perfect, and hiding underneath that grind is simply an arcade game at hart. the entire game is about dealing with the timings of animations. no game has been able to stop me from playing tri. i don't think the controls are stiff at all, I think they are perfect. that said I think if anything is a turn off to people it's the initial learning curve. the game is not easy to pick up, but wow it sure is hard to put down. I guess it stops being a grind when you stop caring about what you need to craft and start speed running monsters.

well deserved....brilliant game. i didnt think i would like it...and i thought i would like it online even less. but i said "osan0..MH is one of those series that every gamer should play at least once..like animal corssing...so may as well get this out of the way"..thats why i got it. i dont like games with time limits (and i would like to see it gone from MH in the future) and i thought i didnt like games with a harsh difficulty. but what i find in MH3 is that yes it is harsh but its not unfair. its a game where its very easy to see why you took a smack. you were too greedy with attacks, you pressed the wrong button under pressure and so on. its a very fine line to walk. some games are just sadistic but MH3 got it spot on. i also hate grinding. i remember grinding in my brief stint of everquest many moons ago.....bloody hell thats just anti fun imho. but i dont really consider the hunt for materials as grinding because the fights are so enjoyable. ive killed so many of the same creature but i still enjoy it as no 2 fights are the same. i also generally dont like online gaming and i thought this would be no different...but i gave it a punt. overall its got a great and friendly bunch of players (though maybe thats just the rookie server :P). some unpleasant people also but then every online game has that problem.

love third party sucess stories. Good numbers for MH3 ,beating nintendos themselves! i love mh.Also expect big numbers for black ops! even the wii version appears to be a bigger sucess than previous entries! Heck it might be the best selling wii FPS !( imean lets face it, COD4 was old and everything and sold 1.3 mil, waw was out when COD on wii wasnt that big1.5 mil, and now this comes out on time with duper features and alleged better visuals...success guaranteed).

Wow for a game thats only been out for around six to seven months, to beat a game thats been out for over two and a half years in gameplay hours is incredible. I doubt that it'll stick there though. Until the next smash game comes out, Brawl will be played to death even after the Wii's lifespan. i expect Brawl to be back to number one in about a year or two.

If you want help with MH3 search for the MH3 thread in this board and ask it there, it should only be a few pages back. If that doesn't help you go to the MH3 gamefaqs board, they are a little more snarky but you will find what your looking for.

PS: this thread will get locked soon because its from October.

I've logged quite a bit of time into MH3 and have enjoyed it thoroughly. I'm not terribly surprised it's at the top here. But I will admit theres a bit too much grinding required to get to all the monster and gear items.

Through Nintendo channel...

Because the majority of Wii systems are connected to Nintendo Wi fi right? There is no way to accurately tell what the most played game is.
