I'll probably start this week or next and go through the actual last day of Summer in September.
"This week" ended up being today. Just started Ocarina. How long is this one?

It's *probably* not possible for me to beat 10 games this summer. However!.. here is a list that I have decided to make a real effort to beat, and not just say that I am going to. In the spirit of being realistic, I am not going to set my bar too high:

1. Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time 3D
% finished already: Perhaps 50% of the way.. I've never beaten this game on any platform.

2. Radiant Historia
% finished already: About 50%

3. Resident Evil: Revelations
% finished already: about 90%

4. Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon
% finished already: 20% probably.

5. Xenosword Chronicles:
% finished already: Maybeeee 10%. This is one big game.

That is all I can possibly hope to beat in a best case scenario, before years end.

Ds, not long. You should knock it out soon, as long as you aren't too busy. Going back to an earlier discussion, you do need the vibrate feature or rumble pak for the stone of agony item, but it is entirely optional.
Oh, and what is up with your list? I thought this was about classic games. You need to put Ballz somewhere on it, even though you did "beat" it.

I too will only have time for five games, anything else that's beaten is just a bonus. I'll be starting this on the 1st of June.

I think for a first time run you could be looking at about 20 hours.

I think I know which part you're talking about...

Hint: Stairs. (if you're not at that part yet, this will still help you later)
