Tweeting about his grandma’s love of the Nintendo 3DS classic, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Paul Hubans wrote: “My 87-year-old grandma has played Animal Crossing New Leaf on her 3DS every single day for the past 4 years now.

“Her 3DS finally broke this year, so we got her a new one for Christmas. During a system transfer I checked her activity log.”

The insanely impressive activity log for his grandma’s game shows off over 3500 hours of play on AC: New Leaf over a 4 year time span. According to the stats, she’s booted up the game over 2500 times in total, with an average playtime of over an hour.

The tweet, which has since gone viral, has since been accompanied with a photo of his grandma playing her all-time favourite game, and a thank you to Huban’s brother, who helped to get a new console for their devoted gaming grandma in time for Christmas.

Hopefully she’ll have just as much fun when Nintendo releases the new Animal Crossing on the Nintendo Switch!
