Anyhow, for my collecting goal for the year, I wouldn't mind grabbing another couple of cheaper retro consoles to make some more progress on the systems I want (stuff I still intend to buy, probably over the space of a few years: Game Gear, Wonderswan Crystal, Commodore 64, Mega CD, 32X, XBox, another goddamn PS2, PSP if it becomes slightly cheaper, maybe a Lynx).
I got me another PS2 and a Game Gear, but I've been holding off on new consoles in general for now.
alienjesus wrote:Aswell as grabbing a couple of those (I generally keep my new console purchases down to about 2 or 3 a year) I intend to buy a couple of good but cheap games for the systems I've bought which I've been neglecting. I only have 3 good dreamcast games (jet set radio, chuchu rocket, space channel 5) and a handful of good games for saturn (sonic jam, nights, worms, theme park, discworld), PS1 (Final Fantasy VII,VIII,IX), PS2 (FFXII, Ico, Sahdow of the Colossus). I have slightly more NES and SNES and NGPC games than that but I wouldnt mind a few new ones either. Maybe some new mega drive and N64 games too since I've basically beaten all of mine.
And as if that wasnt bad enough, its 3DS launch year. Oh god yes, I must have that console.
I got me a 3DS, and I'm loving it. I also picked up a whole bunch of Saturn games, aswell as a couple of N64 and NGPC games, but the other consoles I've still been neglecting
. I cant afford to work on all the systems at once though
alienjesus wrote:As for beating games, my mission is just to keep beating stuff to the point where I have under 5 unbeaten games per console, and perhaps further. I'm not too far off that target atm (I have 8 gamecube, 10 virtual console, 6 master system and 8 DS, but the others are 5 or less), but I imagine I'll be getting a bit more come christmas.
I've been working at this, but then I bought some new games and I have basically left me with just as many things to beat to achieve this target. I have 8 wii, 6 VC, 6 DS, 6 Saturn, 6 game gear and 6 Master system, which means I need to beat 8 games to reach this goal, compared to 12 at the start of the year.
alienjesus wrote:Oh, maybe I should beat some metroid prime and final fantasy games? I have 3 metroid prime games and 6 final fantasys sitting unbeaten. That's probably more RPGs than I can bare in 1 year though...
I haven't beaten a single metroid prime game this yea, although metroid prime 2 is in my summer game challenge list. I have beaten FF3 though, and I'm half way through FFIX for my summer challenge.
Overall, I've done most of what I said I'd do. I've only had so much time and money, I can't do it all!
