NES Completions thread 2023 - 600/677 (bonus games - 75/100)

[Jandrem | 20]

Hi everybody. It’s been a hell of a year, so my apologies for jumping in, beating some games and disappearing. 
 

There’s a few games I beat this year that I’d be happy to do again for next year, but I’m making a resolution to try and beat some different stuff this time. Going to bed after the ball drops, so tomorrow morning I’m excited to hop to it!

That's what I'm planning to do. I guess I'll bring back the pain points too, since hopefully that will inspire people to beat some of the harder games.

Looks like we'll end the year with 600 licensed games beaten. Not too close to finishing the library, but it's much better than last year's 564.

 

Here's the list of games which will change by 2+ points for 2024:
