Title: Games That Won't Appear on the Nintendo Channel Game Play Records
Post by: Kytim89 on May 02, 2010, 12:47:15 AM
I have this dilema involving a certain amount of games appearing on my Nintendo Channel gamplay records. There are a couple of games in which I have logged in more than a couple of hours into and they are not appearing on the game play records.
Such games include:
Resident Evil 4 Castlevania: Rondo of Blood Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Sonic the Hedgehog for the master system
Why are these games not showing up? I have played for more than an hour and they wont appear in the records. What gives?
There are a few others that I forgot, but I will find them and report back on this topic.

Nintendo's play history log is buggy as hell and corrupts easily. Kind of why Nintendo was so reluctant to release it. There's no pattern to when things do get log and when they don't. (Unless you boot the Wii in maintenance mode)
The only game/channel Nintendo actively blocks from being logged is the Homebrew channel.

I noticed a few things about this, one of these might be causing inaccurate records:
1. If you play the same game more than once during one day, it will likely be recorded as just 1 time played. 2. Any play time accumulated when the Wii is not set to the correct date and time will not be added to the total. 3. Only games listed in the Nintendo Channel database will be logged. 4. The WiiWare demos are not recorded by the channel. 5. The Mario Kart Channel time is combined with the game itself.
Sometimes it really does seem random though.

How long have you had them? I've seen some not appear for a week to a month after I started playing them. this may go back to Mop it up's point about titles that are in the Nintendo Channel database. They may add a game to the list late and them it will appear on the list. Happened for me with No More Heroes 2.

I haven't checked in awhile, but does anyone know if Godzilla Unleashed was added yet? I was quite disappointed to not see it listed as it probably only would have been behind Smash Bros and Mario Kart in playtime.

I sure hope we get the 3DS Activity log but with more data points for the Wii U.
