Like a series badge with Mario would mean every major one on every console. Honestly, the original trilogy to me would be acceptable. That was the original series unless you want to count the 'New Super Mario Bros. as part, rather than a reboot. Castlevania same thing, Mega Man etc etc. I am probably in the minority on this, but just my opinion. Well it's meant to be an achievement, if you broke it up like that you'd end up with 5x the amount of series. Considering they didn't require anything but the cart or disc it didn't seem so bad to me but I do collect on most platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying they should be easy to achieve, but I also think too ridiculous can be a thing; especially when it comes to collection type hobbies.

Not, what is the boat? How do you get the boat? It was "I want the boat" Jive Turkey was a saying this dude skulldeath said all the time, so we made one to give to him. No real secret to that one, often you would get it for making fun of the awards. That damn Jive Turkey award alluded me for years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasbi | 6 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 My favorite badges were the series badges. It gave me incentive to collect an entire series and I played through them as I bought them. It was fun altogether. I'm hoping they return and are expanded upon. I was actually working on the Metroid badge before NA got axed. I want a cute metroid icon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splain | 2,570 Editorials Team · Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I had a Jive Turkey badge, and I think I remember when I got it. A year or two back, there was a general Thanksgiving thread or something, and I went in and said everyone was a bunch of jive turkeys. Then Gloves said "says the jive turkey" and it was there. I remember someone else said something about gobbling down every turkey they see, and Gloves told him to avoid looking in the mirror, and then he suddenly had the badge. I have a lot of Tony Hawk games, but I'll probably never pick up the skateboard peripheral for Tony Hawk Ride, so no badge for me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I remember having a decent small set but nothing outrageous like more committed types did. I guess now though if those things were back I'd be up +3 Pinball, Arcade, Virtual Boy set, and maybe more as it's been years since I looked at them. It was in a strange way kind of fun, even if some of them were just nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox | 1,667 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I was on the old site for years. Never managed to "earn" any of them. Seems like most you had to "buy" them by spending a bunch of money on games. If they come back, I'd like to see some more related to actually taking part in site events (secret santa, competitions, complete every game for x system, werewolf, other fun stuff) or actually contributing articles, blogs, art, and other content for the site/community. I'd be more proud of that, than just showing off how much I spent on Earthbound collectables. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great idea It would give people who don't have collection sets some incentive to participate more in the community. We did have the contest awards on NA, so I'm sure those will be back at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a little bit of that on NA, but the focus seemed to be on the collecting. I guess that's partially on us too, if more people submit for an award for collecting rather than participating in things. But yeah, like this idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there were a bunch of badges for events, gaming, and community contributions including a couple that you specifically mentioned.
