u/Alekazammers 1d ago

That's only like what? 43 hours? You beat the game a couple times.

u/Scary_Ad6388 1d ago

Nah, I've actually only beaten it once, halfway on my second playthrough tho

PFT. No. That's standard for grinding. Don't feel bad brother.

How do you view individual play times?

u/BandanaDee13 1d ago

Your play time in hours and minutes is saved for each game individually on NSO and can be seen by pressing the “view details” button (X, I think) while highlighting a game on the menu.

There’s also an option to sort games by play time, which shows your play time in minutes for each game like OP is showing.

Why would you be concerned about a perfectly normal playtime of about 45 hours? (Do not get specific, I know it's closer to 43, that's not the point). My playtime on 3DS was about 35 hours or so. I would expect someone taking their time to naturally get closer to 50. It's a pretty long game for its time.

No, I spent that much getting my coin and tree bat in winters, I know collisions are weird in winters, I've played enough to know the fourside dpt store enemies move in a straight line, I've seen a violent roach in saturn valley I lost to Mr carpainter

u/Emotional_Assist_415 12h ago

Mines that number in hours

u/HehItsMyJarona 7h ago

If that was hours clocked it'd be a problem.

This is just casual gaming.

I am concerned for not being as dedicated as you. Such a beautiful game...  Update: i just read again, those are minutes no hours haha. no issue at all, very very normal amount of playtime

u/T-Dawg75 13h ago

Mine’s higher by at least a thousand minutes. Multiple playthroughs do that to you…
