To put some perspective on the figure, some of Nintendo's most notable titles haven't even come close to approaching 100 million hours played. Mario Kart Wii has only been played for 46 million hours, while Super Mario Galaxy has managed a mere 34 million hours in total. Wii Sports, however, remains the obvious top game played, netting a total play time of 105 million hours.

I know I've played the game for at least 100 hours or more. I play the game with friends so much.

I don't know if i buy that Mario Kart Wii statistic. That shit's played at my house nearly every day for 1+ hours for 2 years.

I second that. We've got 2 copies of the game at my house and my younger siblings and I virtually daily have online matches against each other. SSBB does get quite a few hours playtime with us, too, but no where near the amount of Mario Kart Wii.
That game is just a disgusting drug.

Ha, I was just playing Smash Bros today; that disc appeared on one stage and I shouted something like 'stop the fighting' in my best Jim Varney Ernest-era voice.
We unlocked a new song, but I've forgotten what it was.

Also keep in mind these are for people who also had an on-line connection AND connected their information to the Nintendo Channel. Could be double the hours for all we know now if we were to include the people who play off-line or don't use the Nintendo Channel.

so... isn't :
100 million hours = 11407.9553 years ?

So if I play brawl for more than 6 hours right now, it'll become the most played game on the Wii? Off to my bedroom!

More like 6 MILLION hours, but yeah, go straight to your bedroom and don't come out until you're done.

Only 46 million compared to SSBB? I'm played Mario Kart Wii a heck of a lot more than Brawl.
