100% complete Super Famicom fullset, 1450 titles!

[prismra]

Adol, you are my Idol. : )

I am seriously considering dumping my ~150 cart collection of the "best" of the Super Nintendo (99% loose carts) to replace them with complete copies. It just really, really hurts my wallet to think about doing that. Also hearing your cost estimate of 30K really gives me a reality check.

I can see the appeal in having a "complete" collection but I don't really think I'll be going that route. I don't think I or anyone else will care if I have a complete copy of Barley Shut Up and Jam.

Earthbound on the other hand...

Anyway, enough about me. Congrats!!!

[Sanriostar]

Good Freakin' God!

And I was feeling good 'cause I've almost got a complete Inty set.

[badinsults]

Very impressive, made even more impressive by the fact that only a few people have complete US sets, and I don't think there is anyone with a full Pal set.

[hades]

That's an amazing collection, thanks for posting it. I want to print out the thread and well, nevermind that.

[Trebuken]

You have a museum rather than a collection. Amazing.

Money can buy you anything; what's impressive to me is your diligence in your searching and your obviously extremely knowledgeable about your collection...

Congratulations.

I never had the kind of monye you mayb thought.I collected 2/3 of it between age 13 and 19.
Then,i decided to go for the last 1/3 within the last 3 years.
'm winning average french wage level,maybe slightly more (1500-2000€/month)
As told earlier, it is just 10% of my money i spent in it.And it is not BIG money.
Anybody with a nice car owns more than this.
But i spent hundreds of hours of searching.hunting for the best price all those games.

Like you mentioned, you gonna go for the complete Famicom or Japanese Game Boy next? I would love to know how many Game Boy titles there were in Japan only.

[Steven]

Impressive indeed, Adol. Congrats on achieving it... it's an amazing feat to say the least. Long live the SNES/SFC. Most of my SFC games are cart only, and I, for the most part, only bought the ones exclusive to Japan.

[tom]

And what I want to know, how do you know there are exactly 1450 SF titles. I mean it's very difficult to find out in the first place. Could there be 1451, one game by some little unknown company? How do you know?

Compared to US releases, which are (more) easy to catalogue, I believe it's difficult where Japan releases are concerned.

As said earlier in this thread, i'll never go for GB.
Maybe Famicom, who knows, but not for the moment. I'm nearly done with fullsets, getting everything i ever wanted.
Probably Gamecube,there is like 300 titles or so only,and i have already 150.

I can say how many GB/GBC games there was in Japan: 1282
And 981 GBA Games.

But exclusives in Japan,i don't know,you should compare with accurate US or European lists

You are thinking wrong: Japanese lists are 10 times more accurate than any US or European list. You have many books listing them,with release DAY, official price.
Not a single european or US list does that..they barely say month of release,never the day.

I understand japanese, and I used the most accurate list in Japan: Daigirin (formerly used for compiling tricks&cheats for all games)
Then i crossed it with other lists on the web, The Nintendo Japan website official one when it was still online,and very accurate lists like:
http://homepage2.nifty.com/gamedatab...2_SFC_top.html

This URL counts 1480 games,because of the mutiple version of same game (3 for Fire Emblem Thracia 776 for example,when i only have the DELUXE box,which is the most complete of all 3, or 2 for Metal Slider Glory Director's Cut, or NORMAL AND Nintendo Power release of Powe Sokoban,etc..)

I said 1450 approximatively.
You can just count them on the pictures.
I have more than 1450 in fact, because i added some Nintendo Powxer exclusive games(but i'm missing 4-5 of them like Columns or Wizardry 1-2-3).
When i was talking about 100% fullset, i'm speaking about the games SOLD IN STORES, with a release date,official price, box and instructions. I have 100% of them for sure (studying the subject for 15 years now).

[Mayhem]

Probably Gamecube,there is like 300 titles or so only,and i have already 150.

Are there really that few Japanese Cube games? Wow... the 550 or so US titles (full set) that I own (plus all demo and kiosk disks) wasn't too much of a push given time and dedication. And some money. I can't see the Japanese equivalent being too tricky, apart from a few bits which I know are rare (Pilgramage mat for example).

Until you said you didn't care about Sony, I was going to suggest your next project be a full PS1 set

How many Famicom games are there?

[ApolloBoy]

How many Famicom games are there?

I believe there's about 1,200 games for the Famicom. If not, it's most likely less than that.

[Vectorman0]

Do you sell off all of you full sets when you are finished collecting them, do you only sell some, or do you keep them all?

[GaijinPunch]

I believe there's about 1,200 games for the Famicom. If not, it's most likely less than that.

One of Japan's countless variety shows had a special where their task was to find every Famicom game ever released in Akihabara. They got all but ~50. Looked kind of fishy. The price they paid for Mario All Stars was considerably lower than the usual price in Akiba. Not sure how long it took them... I think it was a matter of weeks (2-3). Which also seems fishy, as there's always going to be some obscure title that's not necessarily hot or pricey that will be hard to find.

Most (if not all) were not boxed.

[NE146]

Holy cow... amazing!

And I really dig seeing it since the Super Famicom times were my fondest memories of kicking back in Japan during my college days. Seeing all those boxes together really bring back memories of that time where the shelves were filled the MegaDrive & Super Famicom (and yeah, Gameboy) l33tn3ss ...before the yucky psx era kicked in

Nice collection man. That's some crazy amazing dedication

[staxx]

Congratulations on this amazing feat. Now for your next conquer.....hey why not try the Neo Geo AES ....If you can, I would like to see screen shots of the game for the SM titles. Pretty pleasee

[James8BitStar]

While we're asking how many games there were for each console...

How many games WERE there for most consoles, anyway? Particularly 8 and 16-bit?

And where can I find complete lists?

[Vectorman0]

hey why not try the Neo Geo AES
