Did you really have to start this up less than three weeks from the next Steam sale?
Steam calculator's got me at $2,500.

Do I win? I think I won.
when i purchased animal crossing i also picked up a few other things such as cave story and the oracle games.
i have barely touched any of them
additionally i still have some ambassador games left to complete....
the 3DS is turning into my downloadable backlog and that frightens me.
its nowhere near substantial enough to cause me to create a backloggery but still...
Come back when you have over 250 unplayed games on Steam
Games are supposed to be entertainment, what's the fun in forcing yourself to play more games?
Though i can definitely relate, cause i occasionally feel some pangs of guilt looking at my shelves with GC, GBA, Xbox, DS, 3DS, Wii and Wii U games. That's not counting digital sutff on Steam, and VC on Wii and Wii U and eShop stuff on 3DS and Wii U.
Oh God I don't even bother any more. I no longer make any apologies for what I've done.its ok... we are all in this together...
This is what I am.

And that's just my 3DS virtual Console collection
Jokes on you, Lindemann syndrome. I'm so busy right now that I don't even have time to buy games! :-\
Jokes on you, Lindemann syndrome. I'm so busy right now that I don't even have time to buy games! :-\Coward!
I own 21 digital retail 3DS games and 48 eShop games, as well as a dozen Wii U retail games, 8-10 eShop games and probably a dozen VC games across both platforms, and I've beaten virtually none of them. I'm starting to chip away at them, but it's going to take a while.is that all? (http://www.backloggery.com/insanolord)

No. He hasn't updated his page in years. Notice there is no Wii U on it. I know he's bought a lot of games since the Wii U came out based on previous postings on these boards.
So, how did everyone do this weekend?
I'm really good at this.
Maybe for 2017 we should turn this into a "reduce the backlog" thread instead? ;) Like let's all try to finish/at least play one game per month or whatever. Beating a backlog is obviously futile, but we can surely try?
Khushrenada -- you HAVE to try Fire Emblem Path of Radiance ASAP. I beat it many years ago and it's one of my absolute favourites on GameCube. Stellar game, just turn off the battle animations and make sure you get the Soren/Ike bromance going for great character development. Over here the game actually sells for more on the 2nd hand market than I ever bought it for now, and it's been REALLY tempting to cash those 80 dollars. But haven't been able to part with it yet - what if I wanna play it again?!
Fire Emblem: Path of RadianceNice! That one must have brought a pretty penny.
Maybe it's because of the amount of time it has taken me to finally purchase or maybe because of the $115.00 I had to plop down to get it.Well holy mop, that's a lotta green! And red. Or maybe a yellow.
Lego Star Wars and Lego Star Wars 2 all for GameCube.Why not get the Complete Saga version for Wii (or other systems)?
However, like I just mentioned, I've got a shortlist of games I'm currently sticking to playing through first. Thus, I'm afraid I'm not going to be playing the game ASAP just yet. But, with the way things are going, I can see myself making another short list after I finish this one and there's a strong possibility FE:PoR will make that one. I am curious to see why Soren choose that character as his namesake on these forums, for one. For that matter, I should probable add Skies of Arcadia Legends to my next shortlist and start playing all my expensive GC games. But that is a concern I don't need to worry about for some time.
I should just stop buying rhythm games. I'm bad at them and I never play the ones I own.

My local pawn America was having a 40% off sale on used games. That was fun. I got a legit copy of Yoshi's Topsy Turvy for like $6.

64 games played total in 2016. 45 of them finished in one way or another. Down from the 80 games I played in 2015, but I owe that to the ungodly hours I spent on all Fire Emblem related games this year, plus the over 150 hours I pulled on Overwatch. I churned through more 30 hour + games this year, and that's not even counting the final chapter I have to play to finish Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Gaming was pretty good this year.
Man, I forgot what it's like to beat a game for once (it was the DS version of Batman: The Brave and the Bold). Feels so good.
The DS Phat is simply magnificent when it comes to 2d platformers/action games, whether they be on the DS or GBA.
I just got Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice from the sale on the eshop.Just to be clear I still haven't finished the third Ace Attorney game nor have I started Apollo Justice which is the fourth mainline game in the series.

It's a common Catholic tradition to give something up during Lent. I have decided to use this opportunity to try to stop purchasing new games and focus on playing the games I have instead.I support your decision and may join you.
Whether or not I will actually manage to resist purchasing a new game before April 13th is another story.

Does taking games out of the library count?
Yeah, that's not happening anytime soon. Any other suggestions?Since the launch of the Switch, I have bought the following:
Wii U
Sonic Lost World
Game & Wario
New Remix Pack
Just Dance 2015
Just Dance 2016
Just Dance 2017
3DS
Virtue's Last Reward
Zero Time Dilemma
Pokémon Sun
Pokémon Moon
Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright
Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest
The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes
Metroid Prime: Federation Force
Harvest Moon: A New Beginning
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of a Forgotten Past
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins
All of this has still cost me less than buying a Switch. Normally, I wouldn't have bought so much at one time but the Gamestop equivalent of Canada has had a special sale going on since March 3 that is running until April 2 which is that if you buy 2 used games then you get the 3rd one free. Used games are cheaper than brand new copies plus if you have a high enough membership card, you can get a bit more of the price. If I take the price of 2 games and divide it over the three, it makes for a price point I would gladly take if they were sold at that cost individually. The highest price labelled for the games (and majority labelled price for the games) I bought is $35.99. 2 games at that price with tax is just over $80 but when I take that total and divide it over 3 games, that comes to about $26.87 with tax per game which is about 50% off the normal price as most of these games are retailing at $49.99 CAD and that's before tax. The only thing is that I have to buy a bunch of games at once to take advantage of the price compared to if it was just a 50% off sale for one or two titles. However, having not really purchased a lot of games the past couple years because of the rising price of games, (3DS games used to sell around the $35.00 mark with some games $5.00 above or below that depending on the title) I'd held off on buying stuff until a found a price point I was happy with. Being able to now reach this price point, I've begun taking advantage of it. It's probably helped that with the launch of the Switch, some people have traded in newer games or at least good copies of them so that I've been able to pick up some of the newer released titles at a good price.
Ironically, the one 3DS game I probably most want has been one I've yet to see used anywhere despite checking 7 EBGames stores in my local and surrounding area and that is Kirby: Planet Robobot. I'm also ticked I missed Best Buy's discount of Paper Jam for $14.97 which is a killer good price. Likewise, there have been no copies of Paper Jam for me to pick up in this deal yet either.
Anyways, thought I'd bring this up in case others have the means to take advantage of it as I think it is worth it. The only problem can be when you can find 2 games you want but can't really find a 3rd. I wasn't really interested in Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins and only picked it up because the store I was in couldn't find the copy of Mario and Sonic at the 2014 Sochi Olympics despite having the case on the shelf. It was the only thing priced right with the other games I was buying and that I thought might have been ok reviewed (it did become a Nintendo select title) to purchase aside from getting something I already owned and trying to sell off the extra copy later. At this point, my last dream find would be a store that has Planet Robobot, Paper Jam and Story of Seasons although I'd be willing to consider Mario Party: Star Rush, some other Harvest Moon titles, Hatsune Miku Project, or even remakes like Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World.
At this point, for the Wii U, I think the only titles I'm still looking to buy are:
Ducktales Remastered
Pokken Tournament
Super Mario Maker (depends on price because I still wonder how long online services will last and then one can no longer play other people's creations)
The following are games I'd be open to buying but not worried if it doesn't happen since I clearly have more than enough to play from these recent purchases:
Mario and Sonic at the Olympics 2014 and/or 2016 (Haven't played any of the M&SatO games but Phil and I think Mop it up seem to be fairly positive about them so I'd be willing to give them a try)
Twilight Princess HD (my initial thought was pass on this title since I have the GC version and I just didn't see myself ever revisiting this game but BotW has me re-energized in Zelda that I'm now curious to try this again with a game in the height of the old style of dungeon and Zelda design but I still might pass since I've got the GC version to replay if I need to)
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (ShyGuy seemed impressed by it back in the day if I recall. Can't say it interests me too much but it look nice and it's a different type of game than I normally play)
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (why not? I hear it's only medicore and not outright terrible like other Sonic games. As well, I hear and think it doesn't take long to beat so I may not have to make it sit long in my backlog. Sometimes it's nice to have a simple game to quickly complete.)
Sonic All-Star Racing (I hear it's actually good and was the Kart racing game of choice before MK8 took over that title as expected.)
Lego Batman 3 (I bought the 2nd one of Wii U because it was under $10 despite not owning the first. Haven't played it to know what the quality is like but it's almost at the same price point being around $13.00)
Epic Mickey 2 (I know this didn't get good reviews when it came out at the start of the Wii U's life span and the Epic Mickey franchise since died after 2 middling games but part of me is still intrigued by the property to pick it up anyways at a low cost despite not playing the first)
Splatoon (That's right. Lumped with all these other games is Splatoon. I really don't play Shooter/combat type games that this is styled off of nor am I much of an online gamer. With those 2 factors along with the fact that the single player mode is relatively short means I'm unsure I'd really like this title. And with Splatoon 2 soon releasing on Switch, it could be the more Splatoon players carry on playing it there making the Wii U version and online crowd more obsolete. Probably not going to happen at this point)
If anyone wants to chime in on whether something is worth buying or skipping on these Wii U titles, I'm open to hearing about it.
I think you should stop spending so much on videogames :D ;D
I got Severed (Wii U/3DS Crossbuy) Pandora's Tower, the two Dillon's Rolling Western games, and Another World (Wii U) through sales and Mynintendo discounts.Man even Mynintendo is against me.
So I've owned a Switch for like two months and I already have 16 games on there for the backlog.
Oh the horror.
My backloggery is a nightmare now. Holy ****.I was happy to see you were back.
