Long, involved games require a real time commitment — even now, with Metroid Prime, I won’t play it unless I have at least a full free hour; can’t make any decent progress in less time. So having some quick, simple games in queue really helps when the gaming bug bites just a little.

Have heard it’s a fun “pick up, put down” game. Good to know that’s really the case. :)

It’s one of those games that’s easy and I can sort of come back to anytime I want. I do feel it helps in playing something rather than nothing, but I do often prefer to play something more involved than that.

I can gather new fruit and fossils for the day and check the shops if I have 10-15 minutes. If I have longer, I can go over to the island to make some extra money, check out other people’s streetpass homes, and actually make progress in the game.
