Games that have been on my backlog since March 17, 2013
According to HLTB, March 17, 2013 is the day that I first documented my backlog through an online account. Over 11 years later, I still haven't finished, retired, or otherwise updated this batch of games
7 Games
I made solid progress in Ratchet & Clank many years ago before retiring it and later unretiring it. I'll need a fresh start by now.
If you googled "GameCube hidden gems" in the early 2010s, Metal Arms Glitch in the System always showed up sooner or later. I was so excited to track this one down, and I've spent a decent amount of time playing it over the years, but frequently struggled to grasp the objectives in front of me and would end up playing something else. I never outright gave up on the game, because I loved its crass personality, promised creative weapons and mechanics (such as recruiter grenades, the sawblade gun, and robot mind control), and a pretty fun head-to-head multiplayer that I played a few times. I'm playing the game currently (it was the inspiration for this list) and am having a great time as I near the halfway point.
I remember staying up late to finish Sly 1 before my last day of middle school classes (June 2012). I like Sly 1. I was excited to play Sly 2 sometime soon. For whatever reason I just never have played the game beyond the first area.
See Sly 2. One of these days...
Very fun sandbox game that I bought when I was trying to build a PS2 collection in c. 2012 after my Aunt gave me her kids' old PS2. I have some great memories of messing around in this game, but rarely actually played any missions, and eventually the game landed on my shelf. If I ever pick it back up, I'm not sure I'll find the sandbox as enthralling as I once did.
Xenoblade gave me high expectations for the other two Operation Rainfall games. It was also really tough to find Xenoblade 1 for a while, so I preordered Last Story and Pandora's Tower as soon as I was able (still haven't even opened Pandora's Tower!). I have fired up Last Story precisely one time, but just haven't found time to play it properly
I still use the gold Wiimote that came with this game, but I've never managed to stick with Skyward Sword longer than a day or two. I doubt I'll ever even play the Wii version now that the HD remake is out on Switch.
