So for the import games award, PC engine and saturn games count too? Just any import games?
Yeah, any will do.
How about 50+ Graded games? Or is that controversial?
Doesn't seem controversial to me, how about 50+ sealed games? They all get voted on anyways, so nominations can't really be considered too controversial.

What aboot an award for complete RetroUSB collection. Complete being all the NES released games that where made available to the public through the site.
To reiterate things that have already been said, I'd love Fire Emblem and Advance Wars awards, but that's purely selfish because I already want/have all those games anyway.
Also, I totally second the MacVenture Award.
EDIT: Also, are PC games out of the question? Because I think a Sierra or LucasArts Adventure award would be pretty boss.
In addition to my vote for an edit to the MBR/SR icon to show CIB or cart only and an award for the Exertainment 9XS and LC3500x, maybe an award for the always interesting X Band and matching keyboard?
Hey everyone, just as the titles states. This thread will be for award announcements and also suggestions for awards the community would like to see. I'll be working with NA mods MrClutch, Ookii risu and SA mod acomicbookguyc on adding a few more awards to the site.
Q & A:
Question: I qualify for an award, so how do I get it added?
Answer:
If you qualify for an "Game Series" award, post a picture in this thread:
Question #2: I have an idea for an award, so where do we go from here?
Answer: Great, you're in the right place. Post your suggestion in this thread. We'll take a look at it and see if it's a good fit into our current awards. Please note that some awards might be a good fit for the site and some might not be, please don't take it personal if your award suggestion does not end up being implemented into the site. We are working on a time schedule for when new awards will be added. It may end up being something like four awards once every four months.
Question #3: I have an idea for the "Game Series" award, post that here?
Answer: Yep, post your Game Series idea here. Keep in mind these two things. First, is it a series that you believe many other NA members would go for, nothing too obscure. Second, does it have close to 10 unique games in the series or more?
Question #4: So what awards currently exist?
Answer: Here are our current awards separated in categories:
Reason: If you are dedicated enough to permanently ink you skin with something video game related you deserve an award. Post a pic here: http://mobile.nintendoage.com/aut... but also PM a mod to get this award added to your account.
Name: “Import 25+” Award
Icon:
Requirements: Own 25 or more import games.
Reason: Love games from a strange and foreign land? Great, post a picture (either to the Game Series thread located at Collectors corner or PM a mod) of your 25+ import carts and get the award.
Name: Retrozone X-Mas Set
Icon:
Requirements: Own all the Retrozone 8-Bit X-mas releases from 2008 and onward.
Reason: Request by multiple members who love these fun carts. Post a pic of your complete set here: http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/... But also PM a mod to get the award.
Carts required for the award:
NES
8-Bit X-Mas 2008
8-Bit X-Mas 2009
8-Bit X-Mas 2010
8-Bit X-Mas 2011
8-Bit X-Mas 2012
8-Bit X-Mas 2013
Note: GB and SNES versions are not required for this award. As per bunnyboys thread listed above, only NES vesions required.
Note: Everything above could change very slightly due to errors. Hopefully there’s none of that, but just a heads up.
That’s if for this round. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. We’ll be looking at those for future awards. I appreciate the community voting on the Game Series awards. It was a fun way of doing it and everyone kept it civil. I hope to do it again next time. Thanks and keep the suggestions for future stuff coming.
I know we have a 25+ reproduction award and it's given as a mix of repros , home brews and hacks but how about the same award for Cib ?
As you all know Cib even for reproductions can get expensive some costing $100 and over . I think having that many Cib should be recognized.
Not only is it a nice accomplishment but also consider the work that goes into making not only the game and label but to write up instruction manuals and boxes plus the effort it takes to make them .

I agree. Its nice to have quality boxes/manuals from uncle tusk and fSped09 (not to mention the homecrewes/repro makers), and its a part of my collection I am proud of.

I had another idea for a cool award (since we didn't get the mirror ). What about an official Nintendo display cabinet (like Th0rpe's, I don't have a pic) or aanother official one?
They are becoming more rare, and they are really great pieces. I know we have the kiosk award, but this might be a fun addition.

Final after a month someone agrees! If we all bought 25 games at lets say $25 each $625 total well then Cib owners of 25 paid $1250! Besides the new Larry I think all of mine were over $50 each . This award is a well deserved one and can easily be done . Take or current 25+ and add a box around the icon .
Corey your award idea is a nice one too . The icon could be world of nintendo just like it is on most cabinets
We currently have awards for owners of 25+ imports, reproductions, and pirates. Homebrew is a growing part of the retro community and IMO more legit than say repros. I propose that NA add an award for "Owner of 25+ homebrews"

How about also adding more categories for Proto owners. Such as 25+ or unreleased titles.

That is covered in the 1+ catagory.
Still like the idea of exspanding the +##. Big gap that could use some love. Does't matter muchto me ecause I'm -1 for protos.

excellent nominations.
I once considered getting all the Star Wars games, but after a little research, I think I'll stick to CIB NES

Great idea.
Deja Vu (NES)
Shadowgate (NES or GBC)
Uninvited (NES)
Beyond Shadowgate (TG16)
Shadowgate 64 (N64)
Deja Vu 1 & 2: The casebooks of Ace Harding (GBC)
Also, I totally second the MacVenture Award.
EDIT: Also, are PC games out of the question? Because I think a Sierra or LucasArts Adventure award would be pretty boss.
Here is the thread: http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=6&threadid=133286. Dain also speaks on it in there.
For game series awards:
Star Wars (console games only because if PC counts these go in the hundreds I'd imagine)
Flintstones (I know it's hard to do but there are so many great games and there are already harder awards in my opinion)
WipEout (classic racing series)
Pac-Man (classic character with lots of games for pretty much every console generation)
Ratchet & Clank (just had to suggest this)
Others:
Owner of 5000+ games (or maybe 4000+?)
Owner of 50+ consoles
Owner of 20+ videogame movies
Complete Nintendo DS collection (CIB/lose) (this might be the last year in which DS games are being released)
Complete Sony PSP collection (CIB/lose) (the final NTSC title was released about a year ago now)
Complete Nintendo Wii collection (CIB/lose) (same as Nintendo DS)
No need for XBox360 and PS3 icons yet really. They'll probably keep making games for those systems for another two or three years or even more.

Thanks guys/gals!
how's about a Digimon Award ? it's expensive to collect most of the games .
As you all know Cib even for reproductions can get expensive some costing $100 and over . I think having that many Cib should be recognized.
Not only is it a nice accomplishment but also consider the work that goes into making not only the game and label but to write up instruction manuals and boxes plus the effort it takes to make them .
