If you read through (or at least glanced at) the "
favorite games of 2015" post I published a few days ago, you may have walked away from it with the idea that I didn't play a whole lot of games last year.
Although it's true that I spent less time on video games in 2015 than I did in the couple of years before, that's mostly because I got a "real" job (as in, one that requires me to go into an office every day) in January and that put a damper on my ability to play the many 3DS, DS, PSP, Vita and other titles in my possession.
Still, looking at the list below--which I cobbled together after reviewing the "play time" stats gathered by my three 3DS systems--I'm pretty impressed I was able to devote as much time as I did to the following 3DS and DS titles.
(Note: if I could figure out how long I played
Dokuro and
Danganronpa on my Vita, or
Undertale on my Mac, I'd include them here and broaden this post's focus a bit. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be possible.)
- The Legend of Legacy--39:00
- Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley--24:13
- 999--21:41
- Hotel Dusk--17:18
- Fantasy Life--13:41
- Contact--13:15
- Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus--12:45
- My World, My Way--10:09
- Okamiden--8:37
- Pokémon Picross--5:17
Bonus round: I also spent nine hours and 15 minutes with the
Nintendo Badge Arcade and nearly five hours with the DS version of
Chrono Trigger by the time last year came to a close. And since the calendar flipped over to 2016, I've put another hour-plus into the latter release.
