is it necessary to have to have 5 extras for complete game series set
Just a thought but is it necessary to have to have 5 extras thing related to the game set? some of these series dont really have many toys or trinkets to collect and its more money spent than necessary. theres a few set i could claim badges on if i didn't need extras to go along with it.
I think if you go out of your way to get a complete in box series set the extras arn't needed. (or have most of them complete in box)
i understand some of these set only have a few games in it like star fox and earthbound (only one) but other like mega man and super mario bros have quite a few games required to complete a set.
personally i think these rules should be changed but thats my opinion.
Anyways that my early morning rant/thoughts for today.

I have the DOS PC Mega Man. Is that even part of the Mega Man set? It'd be weird to call it an "extra" when it's an entire game.
Insults to gaming series don't count.

LOL! Guess I should've sold it when AVGN talked about it a few years back.

The complete series set award isn't just that you own every game on the list, it also represents a level of fandom in the franchise. The "5 extras" requirement separates those who activity enjoy and seek out games in that series from people who acquired a full set incidentially or are only interested in checking off boxes. The latitude given for those extra items is pretty wide; it can range from protos & ultra-rare developer items to home-made crafts.
In your case OP, the boxes would be considered as "extra items".
really? then never mind what i said. i usually collect complete in box games.

There's all kinds of merch out there, there's ports, theres hacks, if a character makes an appearance in another game like Super Smash Bros. Theres tons of stuff out there. Name a franchise where you think there isn't 5 items and I'm sure we can find something
