Topic: Junetendo

I kinda doubt this wil get much traction but here we go regardless.
Next month, ie tomorrow, I plan to do one of those self imposed challenge things.

And that is to play nothing but Wii U games for the entire month of June.
It helps thats i have a fairly decent Wii U library, so it wont be too rough.

...Hopefully.

Anybody else ever done something like this ?

Oooh. I have not but I like the idea. Are you playing just games designed for WiiU, or are you including virtual console titles?

You do any other months? Genuary (only Genesis/mega drive)? PC EnJune?

@HoyeBoye Just WiiU games.
I don't have any VC games ( and don't like motion controls so the Wii is a no go)
I've done other attemps like xbox only in January
And Saturntember in September.

hell no, i prefer to play what i want, when i want, but good luck with that

@nomither6
I got so many games and so many consoles that half the time i don't even know what to choose.
By artificially limiting myself, I will play games and consoles i haven't even glanced at in months.

@KitsuneNight that’s a good way to go about it, but it’s even better if you actually enjoy it as well, which is why it’s something that wouldn’t work for me because i may get bored . i presume youre more of a single player gamer ? because it could also be difficult to concentrate on getting through a backlog if some good ol PvP is calling you for your daily dose 😆

good luck to you though , june is halfway over anyway

How’s it going so far? What’ve you played in the month of Wii jUne?

@nomither6
Yeah, I am primarily a single player, so it generally does work out for me.

@HoyeBoye
Well enough i guess , I played less games then I thought I would, but put more time in the ones i did play.
So far i played Amazing Spiderman ( which is a game i like )
Mario Kart 8
Sonic Racing Transformed
Hyrule Wariors
Tekken Tag 2
Smash Bros
Lego Marvel Superheroes
And Need For Speed Most Wanted.

Gave up on that last one, it might be me or the port but the controls seems overly twitch and half the time i was fighting them.

But I stick more with one game, than what i usually do, and that's hop from one to another and get bored easily.
That's I suppose another point of this whole endavour, play the games i got and stick to them.

I would like to do this for my switch library. I should pick a month too. This sounds totally fun!

Oh and sorry for not answering the question, but yes, I’ve done this numerous times in my life. Works like a charm!

@Yousef-
Switched on summer july ?

@KitsuneNight
Are you suggesting July as a month or making a pun? Either way that’s probably a decent pick, but before that I have some things with my ps2 backlog I plan to clear first so hopefully that won’t take forever xD.

@Yousef-
Both.
These things usually have a groan worthy pun for a title.
Junetendo
Megadrive March
Saturntember
Doscember
Septandy
GPU June

And its easier to start and keep track of things if you actually start and the beginning of a month.
I think we all have a backlog.
This kind of challenge is more to limit your self to a single platform and play what you got.
Xbox 360 for me in July.

I’m aware of all this and understand the process. I was trying to figure out a pun myself xD.
I was thinking maybe of “Julytendo” and if that doesn’t work out, maybe “Augestendo”.
Then again, the sooner I start something, the more likely I am finish it.

@Yousef-
Or at least commit to it.
I wanted to play only Mac games in March.
That didn't work out.

Well… today I toyed around to gauge my interest in the marathon.
I’ve not only cleared a game from my switch backlog, but even made a sheet to keep track. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Vd4m42PAe6vA3nTtyp-b...

I feel much more confident in starting a “month of Nintendo” once June passes. This feels like it’ll be surprisingly doable. I’m actually looking forward to it.

@Yousef- You’ve definitely got enough on there to keep you busy for a month. I took a business trip recently and only brought my Playdate. Made me realize that there are games from the original 24 release titles that I’ve never even played. I’m toying with the idea of trying my solo gaming in July be all on playdate. Pulydate?

Junetendo is almost gone already.
I havent played as much or as many Wii U games as I would have liked, or even thought i would.
But still played more Wii U in a single month than i did in ages.

July I will focus my attention to the Xbos as a platform, Xbox 2001, 360 and One.

@KitsuneNight This sounds like a good idea - but I feel like with the backlog I have over multiple systems it'll be over a year before I might play some systems again! Will probably have to group some of the smaller backlogs together - DS/3DS, GB/GBC/GBA, PS1/PS2 for it to be manageable.

I'm constantly hit with choice overload when deciding what to play next, so I'd grouped my systems into Retro, Handheld, Switch, Xbox and would have a 'currently playing' game on each with a different genre. When I finished one game I'd pick a new game by selecting a random genre for that system with the theory being that I'd be in the mood for something 'current' from at least one of the things I had on the go. In truth though, I'd tend to just play whatever I have on the go on Xbox or Switch as they are the easiest to access for me and the other stuff gets mostly ignored. At least this way I don't have to mess about hooking up a system for a single game that I might ditch after a couple of hours.

Anyway, could think of a suitable pun to pick the system for July so used a random generator to pick.... Game Gear July

@dmcc0
I've considered grouping consoles together, as well as cutting the time frame down from a month to two weeks.
Because otherwise its not feesable to get to play some system more then once a year.
I generally speaking have most of my consoles hooked up but not quite everything.
I just dont have room to spare for some of them.
