Our friend Stephen Totilo cannot get enough of the Nintendo Channel and the stats it provides. He's always looking to find out more about the Wii, and the people that play it.

They spent more time on Sonic Riders than Secret Rings?

Call me baffled.

Dang, I contributed to all those hours on Sonic and the Black Knight. I spent hours on that game getting five stars on all missions and getting all items and weapons. And bite me anyone who criticizes me for having fun with that game.

I want to be. Under the sea. In an Octopus's Garden. In the shade.

The Beatles game will totally take several hours up on my Wii. :D

@alph

I'll assume you meant "data". You just scroll down enough on the page for any game and it shows the data. Of course, they have to have enough players submitting data to have that section.

Totilo is at Kotaku now? Maybe that site won't be a complete waste of time anymore...

Seriously, do they even update new games anymore? It doesn't seem like they are quite as focused on the stat tracking as they used to be.

Remember, these are USA stats only. Every single country gets its own set of stats. Sadly it is hard to band together people who want to check each country and do all the math to try and get some more interesting statistics (such as certain regions being outliers with regards to play time),

I don't think the game can be beaten in 59 seconds or less.
