It's a new year, but you guys know the drill at this point: you give me your system list, you tell me when you've beaten a game, and I keep track of it. Oh and badges. I never dreamed those would've caught on like they did last year, so expect more of the same in 2021.
In addition to keeping track of the overall leaders in games beaten and systems covered, I'm going to keep track of the former on a monthly basis as well. That way if someone has a particularly prolific 30 day stretch, that number will be immortalized in a separate category and won't be buried under Renaissance2K for all eternity .
That'll do it for this portion and see below for what's actually important, the lists!

The first individual game that I included was Cuphead. If you feel like you beat a balls hard game and are deserving of this icon, post on here and the community will deem whether you earn it or not.
Lastly, despite the fact that several games fit multiple categories, a particular completion only counts towards one icon. For example: Super Mario World would count towards the Super Mayrio icon, but not the Hoppin' & Boppin' one. I understand this could get a little confusing, but that's how it's gonna be!
Mine is the same. I have the Genesis mini coming from Amazon, so I'll use that to beat some Genesis games. I only beat Aladdin last year but that was on Switch.
I'm ready to chew ass and kick bubble gum. And I'm all out of ass. Or something.
My list has a few minor changes. My SuperGrafx is long gone and has been replaced by a Core Grafx (and will hopefully be replaced further by an Analogue Duo late this year), so I updated that icon. Also, my Xbox One has been replaced by an Xbox Series X, which is finally arriving next week.

@Antipop Happy New Year! Here is my active system list below for 2021. I should have COD Black Ops Cold War beaten today as my first game of 2021 too. Woo!
Xbox Series X PS4 Pro Switch 3DS PC PS3
If I somehow manage to get a PS5 during 2021, I will sell my PS4 Pro and give you a heads up so you can update my system list. Thanks!
Thanks for running this again @Antipop my list has 1 minor change, I sold my PS4 in late November and have a PS4 Pro coming this week. I do expect to acquire a SX at some point, likely around Easter.
Looking forward to collecting even more badges this year.
Alright, I've gotten everyone updated who's responded regarding their lists. I'm going to give it a couple of weeks before updating the leader boards, as doing so now would be a fools errand.
I'll probably add a couple systems this year too. If Analogue Turbo Graphics CD comes out in 2021 and they restock SNES then I'll get those. And possibly a Series X depending how good Halo Infinite looks.

Cool man, I'll get your list up and running tomorrow. And you can just post whenever you beat a game; it doesn't matter if it's on a new system or not.
@Bleed_DukeBlue as far as your "unique" ideas for badges, I suppose the alphabet one would be doable, although it would be different from all the other badges in that you'd have to beat 26 games to achieve it, rather than two. The 123 one, however, I think I'll let you implement that on your own time, lol.
I could throw my hat into the ring, but I won't be prioritizing it a whole lot. -Game & Watch -Genesis -SNES -Virtual Boy -PS1 -Nintendo 64 -Game Boy Advance (+SP) -GameCube -DS -Wii -3DS -New 3DS -Wii U -PS4 -Switch -iPhone Should be pretty obvious on which side my bread is buttered, heh.
Does this mean all possible games need to be cleared on a system that can run them? For example, can I check off GBA by beating an original Game Boy game on that system? Is GBA the only requirement for it? Do I have to beat GB, GBC, and GBA on it to cross it off the list?
I'm curious about phone games, if I downloaded a emulator and played and beat a game, would that count for android? Or would it need to be a game off the store? And if it does count, I'll only count it towards one category, because I mostly emulate gba/gbc
Haha! Totally fair. Thanks for considering my ridiculous ideas. I actually may do both of those things just for kicks. Also, #1 and #2 down- Power Stone and Power Stone 2 on Dreamcast. That should cover the Street Fightin' icon too. Great games, but Power Stone 2 was a lot more fun (extra characters, more players at a time, more items, less reliance by the computer on the power stones themselves to win so more variety in matches, etc.). The bosses on Power Stone 2 were also pretty interesting. I had forgotten how short these games are, but it was nice going back to them after many, many years.

Yeah, I physically own a Genesis but would play Genesis games via my Genesis Mini. I don't have those super expensive doohickeys to make the original Genesis not look like ass on a HDTV.

I'm not about to go through the effort of getting your list set up if this is going to be your attitude from the outset. Feel free to participate, but it won't be in an official capacity.
Speaking of which, I removed a couple of people from last year who barely participated. A couple others were/are on the verge of getting the boot. Not to be ugly, but if you're not going to be an active member in this thread, I'd prefer it if you didn't join in the first place.
@Antipop You're right, that was a poor attitude--my bad. I apologize for my perceived apathy. It was unnecessary and unappreciative. I'll have plenty of time to beat games for my systems this year, and this looks like a fun activity. I'd be eager to join officially if you'll still have me after my previous gaff.
I would like to know more about the backwards-compatibility question I had earlier.
Don't currently use a super large amount of systems, but either way:
Android (if that counts)
GBA (if that can count as GB, since it can play them, then GB too)
DS
3DS
GameCube (looks like I'll finally be playing Wind Waker. Pushed it off for years. The inverted camera was really making gameplay , but I'll give it another go)
One of my goals for this year is to put more time into gaming, so I'm hoping to put more of a dent into the leader boards this go around. Last year was just ... bad.
Couldn't find the B-side tape to the Temple stage. Looked nearly everywhere. But, honestly, I didn't mind skipping it. That stage was just creepy. Couldn't wait to get out of there.
#3 down: Battleborn on PS4. This is one of those games I may have put off forever, since it was a random purchase for a couple of dollars at GameStop. I ended up playing it, though, because I found out that the servers were going away as of January 25th, and it will be completely unplayable after that. It's way too big and grindy to platinum at this point, but I wanted to at least beat the campaign. The campaign was harder than I expected, and it took me several attempts to solo the last level, so it was pretty satisfying to knock this one out. It was fairly fun--kind of a cross between Borderlands and Overwatch with bright, bold colors and ridiculous characters. Some of the dialogue was amusing (but, like Borderlands, it was kinda hit and miss). Not a bad experience overall (and much more fun in co-op, which I was able to pull off for a couple of levels before it got pretty tough to find people to play with.).
I'm slowly working my way through Immortals: Fenyx Rising now, but I'll probably play other things along to way to avoid burning out.
It sounds like there is a true ending if you 100% collecting, but I don't like the game enough to do it. This game is NOT staying in the collection. The writing is bad, I'm not feeling any humor or Nintendo magic in this game. I'm making a mental note to avoid whatever team made this game.
Are you sure you want to avoid Intelligent Systems, @ErickRPG? They make the Fire Emblem games, and all previous Paper Mario games. (And used to make Advance Wars.)
Ok, everyone's list should be updated (including the case of the missing , @ErickRPG) and the two new users @nonamesleft and @SupremeSarna are official. Welcome gents!
I've heard so many mixed things about Origami King. It's been on a couple "best of 2020" lists, while other people have said it's more of the same that Sticker Star and Color Splash started. I want to give it a go, but don't want to end up wasting my time.
I will say, the Paper Mario humor has never really clicked with me and from what I gather Color Splash lived and died on it's comedy. If Origami King is anything like that, I'm going to most likely pass.
