NES Collector App
QUESTION!!!
I use this app and I love it but I have a question or two....
It says there 849 Nintendo games...is that accurate?
I also bought a game that isn't on the list, seems fishy.
Anyone run into something like this?
I'm trying to collect them all and this is all I really have to by.
THANKIE!!

It's probably including a bunch of label variants, Euopean NES exclusives, and non retail games like test carts or NWCs. Hard to tell without knowing which app. Honestly, they're programmed with whatever list the app developer put in there.
Which game wasn't on the list?
North American retail (available in stores from 1985-1995) NES list with unique code totals 768 games, 677 are licensed, 91 unlicensed. European exclusives adds another 30.
It's a Famicom Multicart called "Supervision 76-in-1"
Yeah, that wouldn't be on a North American retail list. Really, Famicom collecting is considered separate from NES collecting, even though the hardware is (mostly) the same. But even the NES bootleg multicarts wouldn't be on most collector lists. It's a pretty niche collecting focus.
What set are you going for? North American retail? Retail release worldwide? Sets including test carts and competition carts? Anything that fits in an NES (good luck!)?

Sheesh...umm...all of them? I'm kind of new to this so.
I'm not looking for Test Carts or any CIB, nothing fancy.

Well, again, good luck. There's the Hong Kong Mah Jong cart that's rarer than Stadium Events. Still in single digits of known carts (nine, maybe?)
There's also the Sachen games that have a controversial status, that'll add another 69 carts to your list, and probably isn't on that 849 list.
There really isn't a defined complete NES list, if it includes all the pirate/bootleg and hombrews, as the list is growing and fluid. There is a defined retail list, but again, it depends on your parameters.
We all start somewhere, though, so it's all good.

Ok, so now that I know all that...I'm going to try and get all the games listed on this app maybe even the Test ones. No home brew I'm not apposed to them just not that interested.
Thanks for all the feed back people!
Use the list(s) on this website, they're pretty good and it's easy to filter what you actually care about (e.g. licensed North American releases or whatever)
Looks like retail releases around the globe are 2700+ titles. But there's obviously a lot of overlap.
At least, if it's the same app I use, which I think it is.
I remember first using the SNES one to track my collecting back in the day, and it was awhile before I realized stuff like F-1 Pole Position II didnt' exist
