Bump! Couple days to go!

Dibs on punch out

But I want to do Punch Out! too! I used to be okay at it!  
Also, I will go for [dr. Evil]ONE MILLION POINTS[/dr. Evil] at Ghosts 'n Goblins. The Stage 6 to 4 loop will be allowed here.  

since every game on the list needs to be beaten by 30 people, I'm sure you will have no trouble getting on the board.  

30 people are going to beat Ghosts n Goblins?

well then i will try ninja gaiden

Of course! It is an extremely easy game!
 

You'll have to beat me to being first. I'm going to wake up early before work and knock it out!

Wanted to work on completing all 30 originals myself, albeit, without a time limit/deadline. Only title I don't have is Pac-Man because every copy I find in the wild is either unlicensed Tengen or grossly overpriced licensed Tengen/Namco. Well, I have the NES Classics GBA version but I want to line up my carts!

does mike tysons punch out count as punch out?

I already planned to beat this one first thing to see if the ending is glitches like the Wii Virtual Console version. Castle is still there after it crumbles.

if you do it first, let me know!

Would the NES Classic Series GBA games be allowed? I've been on a Castlevania kick lately and I have the first game only on the GBA cart. Otherwise, I have a lot of the other games available on the NES and other systems.

Yes, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! can be played in lieu of Punch-Out!

If it is an exact port, than yes. If it has been remastered, then no.
 

It's out-right emulated. The Classic NES Series on GBA all were. So we're the eReader cards, Metroid Fusion unlock, and the Animal Crossing downloads.
 

I want to do Balloon fight and kirby if I may! I can play those on carts. The last time I played through kirby I realized I could play through it in one sitting, I plan on doing that when I get my nes classic!

This sounds like a neat little challenge. I think I'll start on Final Fantasy first, since RPG's tend to get time-consuming.

I think about half of the games I could do in that timeframe, the others not so much. Cool idea though!

surprised how few people are going Castlevania first, I'm going through that one quick to start

^^ Agreed. Very quick and easy. That and the Donkey King and Balloon fight will only take a few minutes each.

For me Ninja Gaiden is the quick and easy game. Castlevania is a little tougher for me.

ha, definitely not for me. I think it's just whatever you've had more practice in. For me, I know Castlevania and MegaMan 2 really well but haven't put much time into NG, maybe I'll finally get around to it now thanks to this

A Castlevania run might go fairly smoothly if I can keep the holy water. There's a Gradius syndrome issue if I get the wrong weapon on the later levels. The final area leading up to Dracula starting with the big bats can also be frustrating, as well as the Dracula fight. I've only beaten the game without continuing once.

On the other hand, I can usually beat Ninja Gaiden in around 20 minutes.


 

I will do a Castlevania run when I get home at least and go from there.....I usually beat it once every week anyway.

I figured what the hell, I'll give it a go. I made it up to the boss in level 4 before getting too frustrated to move on. Level 1 and 2 aren't a problem, level 3 was a pain in the ass at that jump right before the boss where there's an eagle and the guy walking around on the bottom, but I think I figured bit out pretty well, level 3 boss wasn't a problem. Level four is just frustrating as hell to get to the boss. I got to him once and died before figuring out the pattern, and doing the level all over really sucks, I tried a few more times and gave up for now. How long is NG anyway?
