According to our research, Super Smash Brothers Brawl is the Wii game that collects the least amount of dust. But two other games are surging toward top status.

Since September of last year I've been tracking the usage stats for top Wii games. Earlier reporters are at MTV Multiplayer. Today, I bring the concept to Kotaku, with some tweaks.

The chart shows Super Smash Brothers Brawl on top, commanding about 66 hours and 32 minutes per person who has owned or rented the game since they first popped it into their Wii.

Guitar Hero III is second but trailing off as its successor picks up steam. (Just off this top 10 list is Rock Band 2).

The games to watch, though, are Animal Crossing City Folk and Call of Duty: World at War, which are both on the rise. Also, note the time sinks of some of the more hardcore games here like Fire Emblem which sell a fraction of Lego games or Wii Ft.

But can anything catch Smash?

I tracked these numbers for the first of the month since September of 2008 and will continue to here for Kotaku. These stats are through May 1. Look for another report in early June and maybe some other slices of the data I've been pulling sooner than that.

now, i just need to go out and find all of them who play the game.

if brawl wasn't at the top of the list there be angry nin fans everywhere.
 
It was good to see Wii Sports on the list, as well. even though it is the bundled game, I still almost play it daily. I love playing 9 holes of golf, and 10 frames of bowling. I prett much dominated the tennis game, but bowling and golf still ooffer a lot of variety in each game.

Onve you do get a wii, you're really going to enjoy how different it is from other consoles. even if you're into what other console's offer.

I wouldn't mind playing the pool game everyday.
