What Are You 2013 Game Collecting Goals

[burningdoom]

This is a thread to post your 2013 collecting goals, and come back and report your progress on them as you complete your goals through the following year.

My 2013 collecting goals:

1. Obtain an Atari Lynx
2. Obtain a WORKING 3DO
3. I want to get some issues of Game Player's Magazine and Electronic Gaming Monthly from the 80s & 90s.
4. Work on my Saturn Collection (which seems harder and harder to do nowadays, the prices are getting insane)
5. Work on my pathetic (4 games right now) Nintendo DS collection. I traded many DS games away when Skyrim came out. Something I don't normally do, but it was an Elder Scrolls game and I was broke!

Games at the Top of My Wishlist:
-Breath of Fire (SNES)
-Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA)
-Castlevania: Bloodlines (Genesis)
-Contra III: The Alien Wars (SNES)
-Contra: Hard Corps (Genesis)
-Chrono Cross (PS1)
-House of the Dead 2 (Dreamcast) - I do own it, but my copy ALWAYS glitches in level 2. You can't see the enemies but they still attack you. Yet the disc looks perfect, not a single scratch.
-Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of the Super Heroes (Dreamcast)
-Panzer Dragoon: Zwei (Saturn)
-Twisted Metal 1 & 2 (PS1)

I traded many DS games away

Bad burningdoom! You must hoard!!!

UPDATED Jan 1st:

For me I really need to slow down and focus on what I want.

1. Hit 2300 games. I am currently at 2192 so that is very doable without going over board.
2. BUY A DAMNED NEO GEO COLOR!!! This is the third year in a row that I have had this on my list and I have to get it this year
3. Buy some Super Famicom games. I'm not sure why but I really want to start gathering games for this system. Hitting 15 of them would be nice, 20 even better though
4. Hit 500 Xbox 360 games! I'm at 476 so again this is within my grasp without having to break the bank.
5. Hit 20 3DS games, only 5 away so if I can find a couple of cheap ones over the year I'll make it
6. A stretch goal would be to hit 300 DS games. I'm at about 250 so hitting 300 would take some really good deals but hopefully I can make it
7. Lastly I'll try and get 8 more Intellivision games to reach 50 of those. Shouldn't be too hard if I don't waste my money on other things.

Also thanks for posting this burningdoom, I love threads like this!

It's a great little handheld for the cheap price it goes for. Solid hardware that is great to use. The little clicky joystick is just feels satisfying. It's a shame it didn't have a larger library.

If you do get one, and you're a Sonic fan at all, then you MUST get Sonic Pocket Adventure. It's surprisingly good. There's a lot of stuff in there that's pulled from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, it's almost Sonic the Hedgehog 2.5. Much better than the Game Gear handheld Sonic counterparts.

First and foremost, I'm going to try to fill in my NES collection with a lot of commons.  After that, I think I'm just going to keep on buying everything I see.  It's working out so far.    
Actually, I'm wanting to start finding more Nintendo Power magazines.  I have a few.  I had a subscription back in the day, but my Dad threw them out when "My Room" was no longer "My Room" at their house.  Some folks act like getting married and buying a house means you'll never move back home.

So, there you have it.  I'm going to buy common NES games and Nintendo Powers.  I say that, but in reality I'll get side tracked and be all about Neo Geo or something in a few months.

I don't have goals! I have more fun that way, I can just get whatever whenever

[pacpix]

1. Buy an Odyssey 2- Been looking at them for a while, just never bought one.
2. Finish SNES backlog- I have been working on this for a while and should easily finish it this year.
3. Get all my games in cases- I have had cases sitting around for a while, I just need to print off the covers and get it done.

[slothingXPIG]

get some homebrew games,Magnavox Odyssey orginal,all killer games on nes and snes and get every video game on the planet lol but not much for planning, i like to be spontaneous

[mkarasch]

First and foremost: ORGANIZATION!  Hate that it is all just in boxes.

Fun stuff:
Working SegaCD
More NES carts, common or otherwise.
At least one CIB for the systems I currently own
A longbox or two for PS1, those are neat.
The new neo geo

[kingrat101]

1- Complete Fatal Fury Series on the Neo Geo, only two left... The two expensive ones
2-Complete Art of fighting series on the Neo Geo, only one left... again the expensive one
3-More Saturn games Im with you burningdoom those prices just piss me off
4-3ds and Wii U games, really looking forward to Rayman Legends
This one isnt really collecting related but fix my Model 1 Sega Cd, it looks Mint but doesnt work =/

1. Complete my collection of games on the Nes, especially:
  - Complete Megaman Series
  - Get Contra, Contra Force, Super C, Panic Restaurant, Fantastic Adventure of Dizzy, Teenage Mutant Turtles Tournament Figters, Ice Climber, Iron Tank
2. Get Famicom console
3. Get more systems and games

[scott]

Lets see....

- Buy a CIB copy of Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge to finish off my CIB [NA] collection (Maybe start on variant collecting after that) .
- Work on my Saturn Collection (170 to go in the list)
- Buy Kid Dracula on Famicom for my Castelvania Collection (Doesn't need to be CIB, would be awesome if it was though...)
- Buy and beat Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 and Mirror of Fate, then stick them with the rest of my Castelvania stuff (Watch for preorder bonuses/ Collectors Editions).
- Upgrade my shelving, I'm running out of room on the Castelvania shrine.

Like, Jobocan I don't really set a ton of goals, but I do have things I want to do collection wise.

To have fewer games in my backlog than I do at the end of 2012

Never. Gonna. Happen.

[disgaeniac]

To have fewer games in my backlog than I do at the end of 2012

Never. Gonna. Happen.

Probably so...since it would require that I play MORE and buy LESS

(or were you talking about yourself)?

This pretty much is true of all of us on here
