    Default Allow me to summarize . . .

    Okay, so I am closing in on my last few US SNES games. I currently just bought my 716th game. I just wanted to get my numbers straight before I went any further. Hopefully you guys can help me. I apologize for the length, but I tried to organize it in a way that was easy to follow.

    The DP rarity guide lists exactly 722 US snes games. There are 5 pages of 138 games and 1 page of 32 games. Therefore:

    5*(138) + 32 = 722

    However, there are two games that are on the list that I think should not be:
    1) Super Bomberman Party Pack
    2) Extertainment Mountain Bike Rally / Speed Racer.

    As far as I can tell from my research, the only difference between the Super Bomberman Party Pack and Super Bomberman is the inclusion of the Multi-tap and a larger box. Since I am just collecting loose carts, I feel justified in leaving that game out.

    As far as EMBR/SR is concerned, it never saw an actual retail release. I have even read reports that the company that develeped the game had trouble confirming that it even existed, let alone that it was sold. Needless to say I am not counting this cart either.

    So, this brings our total down to exactly 720. I DO count both the Donkey Kong and Starfox Competition Carts as part of the list, because they were official sold through Nintendo Power, as well as, some Blockbuster locations that hosted the competition.

    The problem with this number, though, is that it is missing the following 3 games:

    1) Super Copa
    2) International Super Star Soccer
    3) International Super Star Soccer Deluxe

    If these games did see an actual US release (based on the printing on the back of the box art, it seems they did) that would bring the total to 723.

    I know this topic has been debated and I understand that it can be a bit contentious. I just kind of wanted to see if my estimate makes sense and if anyone agrees with it.

    Finally, just in case anyone cares, the reason that I didn't mention Super Noah's Ark 3D is because I already own it. If you don't consider it to be part of the US SNES library, then that would bring the total down to 722.
