DS Daily: What's in your backlog?

Pac-n-Roll and Battles of Prince of Persia. Those are seriously the only two DS games I have that I haven't finished.

I have advanced a bit on the Contra 4 easy mode, but have not tried normal mode yet. The reason is that a shaky commute ride is not a great setting for such unrelenting action. Also, my Etrian Odyssey has not reached a conclusion yet.

since i dont buy games , download them .
i have a huge list of games in rominator , if i dont find a game
fun to me i just remove it and if i want i finish it later.
im almost ashamed to say i have lots of those .

I have a terrible backlog on pretty much every system I own. For the DS, which I got just last Christmas, I still haven't started Hotel Dusk, even though it was one of the first DS games I bought. I just got up to the Elite Four in Pokemon Diamond, which is the actual first game I bought. My boyfriend bought me Contact for Valentine's Day and I haven't started it. I haven't beaten Puzzle Quest yet.

I blame all of this on Phoenix Wright.

I actually am playing about 5 games at the moment on and off depending on my mood. I like to switch it up. The games that are in my backlog once i beat a few are Apollo justice, Hotel Dusk, and FFXII Revenant Wings. i don't like to just play one DS game from beginning to end I like to have a couple and bounce back and forth between them. I don't know if i'm the only one who does that.

oh crap...where to begin. Lessee

Starfox
Orcs and Elves
Metroid
Mario v DK
Mario Party
Rayman
Viewtiful Joe
Yoshi's Island.

I'm sure there's more. Picross (best $20 ever spent) and Geometry Wars are always in rotation. However, I'm not sure those games really ever "end". Come to think of it. I give Nintendo an awful lot of money to have a shiny piece of plastic sit on my shelf. Now I'm depressed. I hate you guys.

Every single game I have ever bought for ANY system since I started working at my job I've played a few hours then put down. I work at a game store, so I buy a game, love it...play it for awhile...and see yet ANOTHER game I would like to buy.
But I do have my reasons, I'm leaving the country soon and will probably not be able to buy games as often (or at a discount). Good to have a few (40+) DS/Psp/Ps3/Wii/GBA/GBC games to play when I can't XD

- Advanced Wars DoR (I'm on the last few missions though so no big deal)
- New Super Mario Bros.
- Zelda The Phantom Boredom Glass
- Draglade (but I did beat it one character at least)
- All three Phoenix Wright games (halfway done with the first)
- Kirby's Canvas Curse (about half finished. It's my 'while I'm taking a dump" game)

Dragonball Super Sonic Warriors Z (or something like that). I really don't like this eternal flying around, I don't feel the chars and fighting is just pointless. So I just threw away 40 Euros. If it was just a piece of software, I would delete it, but still, I like spending money.

oooh! Wario ware twisted! WOOT!

anyway.. i still haven't finish FF 3 and FF12 for the DS...
haven't finished Yoshi's Island DS as well... why?
seriously... do you know how annoying baby mario is!?

Ugh! My Spanish Coach mocks my lack of commitment every time I see it. I really need to sell it for $3 just to alleviate the guilt!!!

I've been trying to limit my purchases lately only to the games that I'm absolutely positive I need, so my purchases are typically followed by a week to a month of utter devotion, wherein I suck the game dry of any pleasure it could possibly bring me. I rarely bother to 100% anything I own, but I try to get my money's worth. But sometimes I'll lose interest in a game before I feel like I've gotten everything out of it.

Trauma Center: Under the Knife -- I guess I'm just not hardcore enough for this game. Every now and then I'll pick it up and spend some time trying to get through the last mission that stumped me. I'm presently at the mission where you have to repeatedly cut that worm thing in half before it spreads to the heart. c_c;;

Brain Age 2 -- Despite my love of the first game, I haven't been keeping up with my mental exercise in the sequel. Part of the problem is, again, the stiffer difficulty. My Word Scramble times are consistently higher than the maximum time limit the game will keep track of, and the Word Blend exercise -- where you have to pick apart multiple words that are being spoken at once -- is a nightmare for me. Even the incidental activities -- connect the dots and such -- seem to take me forever. I got it near launch, and I still haven't played it enough to unlock all of the activities.

Animal Crossing Wild World -- This one's not so much difficult as just dull. Maybe it's the flat landscape, maybe it's the lack of NES games, maybe it's the fact that I played it to death on the Gamecube. I just don't have enough interest in my town to keep visiting it. Again, I bought it near launch, but I have yet to pay off my house.

Pac-Pix -- I actually made it to the final level, but the last boss is so difficult that I've left it unfinished basically since it was released. Which is a terrible shame, because I otherwise loved it.

Tetris DS -- I don't know how much you have to play Tetris before you've gotten your value from it, but I don't feel like I'm quite there yet. I guess I just have so many great idle time-wasters that Tetris just sort of gets a back seat.

Sonic Rush -- This one puzzles me, because it's a good game and it really isn't that hard. I think I just fell out of love with Sonic all at once and I never really bothered to get back into it.

I surprised myself when I looked at my DS shelf and realized that I really didn't have a backlog to speak of. Sure, there are a few games that I put down halfway through because they just weren't fun anymore, but roughly 75% of what I have I've beaten. There are a couple that a rough patch of university caused me to stop playing like Luminous Arc and Izuna, so there's a chance that I might pick up and finish those, but I'm happy with my overall game completion rate. Now if you want to talk about a system of mine with a nasty backlog, I have about 20 PS1 and PS2 games lined up to take down over the summer. My sister is considering going halfsies with me on a PSP so she can take it to work during the daytime to watch movies on, so there's a potential for an even larger backlog. Urgh.

Just Mario and Luigi 2 on the DS, PS2 is another story.

Oh wow. My back list is huge. These are the games I want to beat someday and that I haven't completely given up on.
DS
Lunar Knights
Pokemon Diamond
Mario and Weegee 2

GBA
Boktai 2
Gunstar Super heroes
Sigma Star Saga
Golden Sun 2 (I'm waiting until I can find, buy, and beat the first game)

FFCC (I play it for a period once a year during the summer with friends)
Lost Kingdoms
Metroid Prime 2
PNO3
Tales Of Symphonia
Viewtiful Joe 1/2

And I've got Mario Galaxy, Super Metroid, and Kirby 64 waiting for me on my Wii.

Here is my collection: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/8899/mydscollection101007pc9.jpg

Most of my games in there are backlogs...and I have 47 (counting the 3 you don't see: Castlevania PoR, LifeSigns, and Ontamarama)

Oh I forgot to include the list of backlogged games:

Asphalt Urban GT
Meteos
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
DragonBall Z: Supersonic Warriors 2
Metroid Prime Hunters
New Super Mario Bros.
Pokémon Trozei
Trauma Center: Under the Knife
StarFox Command
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team
Kirby: Squeak Squad
Mega Man ZX
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Magical Starsign
Cooking Mama
Wario: Master of Disguise
Pokémon Pearl
Yoshi's Island DS
Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales
DK: Jungle Climber
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol

I need to finish:
- Zelda: PH
- Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker
- Phoenix Wright 3
- Lost Magic (I don't actually plan to finish this one)

I need to start:
- Advance Wars: Dual Strike

I need to play post-game stuff in:
- Castlevania: PoR
- Etrian Odyssey
- Final Fantasy III

So yeah, but it's not nearly as big as my PS2 backlog...oh my...

I've got a backlog of 79 games if you span every system I own. But my ds list is (if you count 2 games i'm in the middle of and 2 that I just ordered):

Pokemon Diamond
Star Fox
Etrian Odyssey
Magical Starsign
Drawn to life
Drill Dozer
Rune factory Harvest Moon
Scurge
Fire Emblem
Spectrobes
Advance Wars DS Days of Ruin
Luminous Arc
Heroes of mana
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Mario and Luigi
Ace Attorney Appolo Justice
Polarium
Tetris DS

Guess that means I've played about 40 ds games since the little guy came out.

I've managed to clear out pretty much all my DS backlog. And I've taken all but my most loved DS titles and sold them at a pretty good price. What I'm left with is the Phoenix Wright series, since it's too excellent to sell, even if I won't likely play it again, and Days of Ruin, New Mario Brothers, and Tetris DS as my DS games I'll simply never get sick of.

Oh God, I haven't finished _any_ DS games yet (I got my DS just before Christmas), unless you count Layton (quest finished, but I'm on 134/135 puzzles complete overall).

Zelda:PH
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
Advance Wars: Black Hole Rising (GBA)
Golden Sun (GBA)
FF:TA (GBA)
FFIII
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Picross
Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones (GBA)
Front Mission (Damn you, destroy the SAM sites mission!)
Yoshi's Island
Luminous Arc

... wait! I see I did finish one:
Mario Kart DS

I have a copy of Dimentium with about 12 minutes of gameplay on it and even though I've powered up most of my drones in Geometry Wars, it still sits in my DS case with only the first level completed.

Now playing:

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - 90% done
FF Crystal Chronicles: ROF - 80% done
Etrian Odyssey - 10% done

Backlog:

FF 12: Revenant Wings
FF3
Harvest Moon: Rune Factory

My main concern is that there are about 5 games I want that are coming out in the next 4 months...

I keep my purchases in check so i usually almost never have a backlog

Final Fantasy III DS i never finished, and never will, the amount of grinding necessary before the point of no return is mind-boggling

Bomberman DS (the first one) i never finished either, I would like, someday, to escape from Stark Mountain on Diamond & Pearl (with the shiny Graveler i acquired), the one storyline on StarFox Command where you have to go through the stage with all the missiles,

I think that's about it

I am now only buying a game once I've completed the last one I bought before it, but my backlog is pretty insane, which is why I have this new rule. Seems that The World Ends With You will be bought after I finish Rondo of Swords.

The backlog:
One's I currently play regularly:
Puzzle Quest
Shiren the Wanderer
Izuna
Etrian Odyssey
Nanostray 2
FFCC: Ring of Fates

The games I need to get back to:
Lunar Knights
Deltora Quest (on hold until I finish the books, which are a FAQ for the game)
Final Fantasy III
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
SD G Generation Cross Drive
Super Robot Taisen W

Vitamin X Evolution and Puchi Eva: Evangelion @ Game are both in my backlog. >.< Crisis Core and Patapon have forced me to push my DS aside.

My list is pretty reasonable thankfully.

As far as DS goes just Contact and FF3 which are both like 80% done or so. On the Wii technically Godfather but the story is done, and on GC just Zelda: TP which I stalled 25% into.

The GBA though is a whole other matter as I just picked up a nearly new micro stupid cheap and then grabbed a handful of games to deal with. A few don't really 'end' like V-Rally 3 or Mr Driller 2, but as far as work in progress go there's: Tales of Phantasia (20%), Wing Commander Prophecy (70%~), Dragonball Advanced Adventure (at least 50%), Baldurs Gate (15-20%), Metal Slug Advance (25%), Drill Dozer (20%), and Mario Kart (33% unlocked.)

Not bad really as I just pick away at a few most days like today where I downed like 1/2 of Wing Commander and did another 1 1/2 worlds of Drill Dozer, along with starting Baldur's Gate.

I just finished the first Phoenix Wright yesterday. I started it almost two years ago.

3 more to go, plus a thousand other things.

My DS backlog is pretty low, but that's because I buy very few DS games due to the fact that I pretty much only play my DS at work during lunch breaks or particularly slow days since I work at a call center. My actual console game backlog is pretty huge, though. For that, I'm going to blame Lord of the Rings Online. :P

DS:
Sonic Rush
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

GCN:
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (Only have a few missions to go, but when you consider I've owned the game for over a year now..)
Starfox Adventures (Haven't even started.)
F-Zero GX (Story mode is ridiculous!)

Wii:
Super Mario Galaxy (Have enough stars to travel to the final area, but I'm one of those who have to do EVERYTHING in a game.)
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Ninja Spirit
Breath of Fire II (Though I beat it on SNES long ago.)
Super Metroid (See above.)
ActRaiser (See above!)
Neutopia
Air Zonk

And despite this, I've got The World Ends With You and Mario Kart Wii pre-ordered. After those, I should totally resolve to NOT buy any more games until I finish the ones I have. But realistically, I know that's not going to happen!

Metroid Prime
Dragon Ball Z Supersonic Warriors
New Super Mario Brothers
Pokemon Diamond
Castlevania: Down of Sorrows
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Nintendogs(extremely gay. I don't even know why i bought it)
Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time

My DS backlog list might also be called my "what was I thinking?" list. I bought these at deep discount but not sure I'll ever get around to actually playing them.

- Age of Empires
- Elements of Destruction
- Napoleon Dynamite

Lists!

Right now, my only sizable backlogs are PS2, PC, and GameCube ones. My (small) DS backlog has been cleared, but that might change soon once certain games come out!

Advance Wars: DOR (last mission now) - but I have been playing all the side missions over and over again for some reason...
FF XII: Revenant Wings
Lunar Knights
New Super Mario Bros.

I'm currently playing through: Pokemon Diamond(104/128 caught seen in Sinnoh Dex, almost to Spear Pillar), Pokemon Sapphire(not very far into it, caught/seen is 12/16), Tales of the World Narikiri Dungeon 3(replaying to get all of the secret costumes...ok i had them before I just love this game xD)

I should be playing: Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings, Advance Wars Days of Ruin, Phoenix Wright 2, Metroid Prime Hunters.

My DS backlog is rather short:

FF3, NSMB, MK:DS.

Oh, wait, I am expecting delivery of Custom Robo Arena and PMD:Darkness. OH! and then FFIV:DS. Wow.

And that's not even counting MK:Wii.

My backlist is:
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Luminous Arc
and Etrian Odyssey

I'm hoping to beat Etrian Odyssey before the sequel comes out.

I have a copy of Phoenix Wreight I have yet to play. I have not played it because...well I'm not exaclty sure. Part of me thinks it might be worth something since its still sealed. Another part of me thinks if I like it, I will have to buy all the others and I'm not sure I have the money to add another series to my list of obsesions.

I'm usually really good with completing my DS purchases as close to 100% as I can, if only because I don't buy many games each year. If I end up with any backlog, it's because I've intentionally set aside a few Christmas acquisitions to help me contend with any unplanned, but possibly forseeable summertime boredom. During my spring break a few weeks ago, I beat Mega Man ZX Advent (just the main story, not many extras), which was supposed to stay untouched til the summer, but oh well. That leaves just Zelda PH. But, I have Revenant Wings at the point where you get Ashe and Basch (too much grinding at that point imo) and Geometry Wars only three galaxies in. But that's not really too bad.

What is bad is that this coming June alone, there are like five games I want a whole lot. Things could get interesting.
