Title: How many games...?
Post by: mamacitalew on October 08, 2012, 05:04:58 PM
A real quick question: how many games do y'all have for each system? I'm looking for a quick ballpark number, no need to count your games out here. But I AM looking for a breakdown of NES, SNES, N64, SNES, and DVD-case games you have, plus any special ones you have like Famicom or Virtual Boy. Also, this isn't Nintendo only! Thanks so much everyone who helps :)

My Backloggery (in my forum signature) has all of my game totals listed by individual system. Enjoy!

I have about... 5-10 games for each system? I generally sell the games I don't plan on playing again.

I honestly have no idea. More than 200 but probably less than 300. That would be my ball park at least. I couldn't give you a break down without counting them and I'm not going to be doing that, otherwise my mind might start adding up the amount of money spent and I'll end up crying.

Let's see currently 0. However going back and trying to remember my games.
Wii: 8 retail games Gamecube: 12 games PS2: 6 Nintendo 64: 8 games Super Nintendo: 15 games
The important thing to note about these numbers is it is the number of games I owned at one time...I sold and traded in many games...and in the Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 era I rented a lot of games. And During the Wii era I had about twice as many downloaded VC systems.
In the end, I am pretty standard with how many games I owned at a time.

Thanks everyone! I *might* have a pretty awesome follow up to this question in the coming months....

I'm one of those backlog offenders who prefers not to talk about how many games I own (because it's way too many, with most unbeaten and many unplayed to any meaningful degree). Yet at the same time compulsively tracks and catalogs each game.

I didn't even know there were 296 N64 games, lol. Mop, are you a collector of that system or something?
Title: Re: How many games...?
Post by: TJ Spyke on October 10, 2012, 05:17:04 PM
He has a good chunk. There were 387 N64 games, 84 exclusive to Japan and 4 to Europe. Assuming mop only has North American games, that means mop is only missing 3 games.

Something like that. There are 296 games released in North America, and I've got 'em all.

What list are you going by? I'm sure I can prove it contains errors.
Title: Re: How many games...?
Post by: TJ Spyke on October 10, 2012, 05:41:31 PM
I was going by the total list of 387, with 84 exclusive to Japan and 4 exclusive to Europe, and assumed that meant that 299 were out in North America (maybe there were 3 games released in Japan and Europe, but not North America).
Title: Re: How many games...?
Post by: Mop it up on October 10, 2012, 05:46:01 PM
I meant what website has the list of 387 that you're talking about, I've seen different lists around, some more accurate than others. And yeah, there were a few games that saw a release in Japan and Europe, but not North America. Rakuga Kids comes to mind, but I'm not sure how many others there were.

Games listed for Japan and PAL:
Air Boarder 64 Centre Court Tennis Rakuga Kids
There's your answer.

(I'm betting the answer is Superman 64... that game is notorious. YouTube some videos if you've never see it in action. However, there are a lot of N64 games I've never played, so maybe something else was worse.)

I know all to well my friend. For my Confirmation many of my relatives gave me cards with money in them as a gift. At that point I was very young, naive and did not yet have access to the internet. Would you like to know what I bought with the money lovingly given to me by my family? I bought Castlevania 64 and Superman 64 based purely on the boxes, lol. All I can say is that children today have far more information at their disposal than I did.

Ouch. I maintain that Castlevania wasn't as bad as some critics like to say (although it wasn't great either)...but I have absolutely no defence for Superman 64. Hard lesson.

Mop it up you definitely make my collection look tame. Are you going for running a museum or just decided to finish it up?
What type of Insurance do you hold on that type of collection. I always assumed you had at least as many games as but, probably more. I just didn't realize how vastly more you had.

Carmageddon 64. (http://www.gamefaqs.com/n64/196871-carmageddon-64/reviews/review-106920) Anyone who says otherwise likely hasn't played it.
And yes, I've played Superman 64. It's certainly bad, but I've definitely played worse games, not just Carmageddon 64. I think a large part of its reputation is just that it was a moderately-hyped game back in the day, and part of a well-known franchise, and so things kind of snowballed from there.
I thought Castlevania was pretty good, especially the second version.

Post by: ThePerm on October 13, 2012, 05:43:30 PM
yeah i like the second version
what do you think of aidyn chronicles? I have it despite not liking it

To sum that up, I liked the story and the setup of the battle system, but the game is plagued with technical issues which bring the whole thing down. Battles move really slowly and are clunky to control, there are several glitches around including movement ones, and some of the graphics are a real eyesore. I did like exploring the relatively huge world though.
