An 87-hour-old woman has accumulated over 3500 hours of Animal Crossing: New Leaf on her Nintendo 3DS system. For Christmas he has asked to have his console renewed because it has been damaged.

One of Nintendo's premises is to make games that people of all ages want to play so as not to alienate groups of players. They started with the Touch Generations on Nintendo DS with games like Nintendogs and that philosophy has been maintained ever since. Animal Crossing represents that idea of accessible games with a lot of content for less conventional audiences.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf is one of the star titles for the Nintendo 3DS. Its large amount of content and options to customize the town means that players can dedicate hundreds of hours to it. Whether through urban projects, collectibles, or decorating your home, Animal Crossing New Leaf can hold content for a long time.

Paul Hubans published a few days ago that his 87-year-old grandmother broke her Nintendo 3DS and bought her another to replace it. While making a data transfer, he scanned the log on her console and noticed that she had spent a lot of time on Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Neither more nor less than 3580 hours in four years.

At 87, he has given more than three thousand hours to a game for four years

Said grandmother started the game on Christmas Day 2014 and her console crashed on December 31, 2018. That means she has been playing regularly for four years. And his usage data indicates that he plays regularly and intensively. With 3580 hours, you would have to play for more than 149 full days in a row to invest as much time as she did.

Their gaming sessions are quite long, averaging an hour and 2500 minutes per session. And with XNUMX sessions, he has played almost twice a day for those four years. For some it may just be a number and no more than a mere curiosity. But data like this indicate how much dedication a person can give to a game despite their age.
