Forums - Nintendo - Help me Finish my Backlog!

I have way too many games in my backlog and I want to know if it is possible to finish them all this year. I made a vow now to buy ANY games this year untill I finish my backlog. Help!

The first game I want to finish is PM:TTYD. I finished getting all the stars , and i saved midway on the last level underground just before the spinning flamethrowers. How long will it take me to finish this game? Could I possibly finish it today?

Other games I need to finish:
SM64 (I think I got 25 stars)
Banjo Kazoie(couldn't get through first level)
SF64
Z:OOT(Finished 2nd dungeon)
Rayman 2

Donkey Kong 64
Jet Force Gemini
Beyond Good and Evil(never started)
Metroid Prime (or should I wait for New Play Control?)
Rogue Squadron 2
Wind Waker
Splinter Cell
MGS: Twin Snakes
Viewtiful Joe(just finished 2million leagues under the sea)
Super Mario World VC (so difficult with a GC controller)
Megaman 9(SO DIFFICULT)
Lost Winds

Okami(I did around 5hrs)
Wario Land Shake It.
Zack Wiki(UP to the Mirror and the phone one)
Sonic Secret Rings(probably should forget about this, though I did half of them)

De blob(finished 2 levels)

Link's crossbow Training(did half of them)

How long will it take me to finish these games? This year? Which games should I not even bother starting/finishing? I need desperate help.

If you're where I think you are, you're almost finished. You should be able to finish it today.

 

Other games I need to finish:
SM64 (I think I got 25 stars)

Going for all 120 stars? That'll take a few days. Willing to settle for the minimum? You could do that in two, maybe three days, assuming you play for hours on end each day.

Banjo Kazoie(couldn't get through first level)

It's a pretty long game. Give yourself at least fifteen hours of playtime, probably more.

SF64

Short game, but you want all the medals, right...?

Z:OOT(Finished 2nd dungeon)

Then you're only 30+ hours away from finishing!

Rayman 2

It's about six to eight hours.

Donkey Kong 64

Skip it. Just...skip it.

Jet Force Gemini

Well, you'll be backlogging for a few weeks, eh?

Beyond Good and Evil(never started)

Short but sweet: 10 hours should do it.

Metroid Prime (or should I wait for New Play Control?)

Waiting for the new version would violate your oath. Oh, and it takes about twenty hours.

Rogue Squadron 2

Another short game, but unlocking stuff takes time. If you don't care about that, it'll take about five hours, if that.

Wind Waker

Mwahahahahahahahahaha.

Splinter Cell

Modest length: think five to eight hours.

MGS: Twin Snakes

Skipping cutscenes/radio chatter: about five hours. Not skipping: eternity.

Viewtiful Joe(just finished 2million leagues under the sea)

It's a short game...but also really tough towards the end. How long it takes to beat will depend greatly on your skill.

Super Mario World VC (so difficult with a GC controller)

Get a Classic Controller: you'll need it.

Megaman 9(SO DIFFICULT)

No it isn't!

Lost Winds

Three hours, tops.

Okami(I did around 5hrs)

Then you only have about 25 to go!

Wario Land Shake It.

Short game again, if you don't replay.

Zack Wiki(UP to the Mirror and the phone one)

Considering the really fun levels are still ahead, give yourself a few days. Or cheat and use Gamefaqs. Boooo!

Sonic Secret Rings(probably should forget about this, though I did half of them)

It's not too lenghty, all things considered.

De blob(finished 2 levels)

Ten hours, maybe?

Link's crossbow Training(did half of them)

Barely counts lengthwise, unless you're obsessed with scores.

How long will it take me to finish these games? This year? Which games should I not even bother starting/finishing? I need desperate help.

Do you have any social life? If so, you could finish it this year...but rather late this year.

Good luck! Skip DK64 for sure, though.

 



noname did a good job. I want to add that Wario Land is super easy if you only want to defeat the final boss, but then you miss most of the fun. The hidden levels are great and you should get all the treasures and complete all missions.

And yeah, skip DK64, it's not worth it.



Ok, then I'll go play ttyd right now. BTW, Why is Wind Waker "Mwahahahahahahahahaha."?
Thanks for the Help. I'll be referring to this very frequently.



I beat OoT in nine hours flat.

You'll be fine.

I think he was referring to the fact it's a rather long game. =x



Hey, this is fun.

Considering I have not finished any of the games I own on Wii or GC or DS, I guess I have all year to go as well....

Good luck with your quest
