Within the playthrough crew, we're taking steps to make sure players have more notice of what games we're going to play to have an easier time finding copies of the games we're playing in time for the playthrough.

With that in mind Rich also made a thread we can help each other find these games. Check it out:

Good job guys! Looking forward to the rest of the year! Can I just say now that I am in for the rest of the Retro Playthrough's for the year?

That's awesome, and you raise a good point.

Everyone, please also sign up in the specific game's thread when it comes up. Just makes it easier for the person hosting the game.

Having said that by all means please share your excitement or dismay at all the selections here, that's what this thread is for.

I've added Gradius to December, and of course will add the other December titles after they are voted upon.

Thanks for this! 

I have had a couple of times when I couldn't get games by the start of the month 'cos of international postage time.

Man, had I joined the site a few months ago, I could have played through Muramasa, because that's about when I picked it up :)

I'm working on Super Metroid, however, and plan on taking part in the shmups during December.

Glad to have you along and please join the discussion on the Super Metroid thread: http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=14682.msg210534#msg210534

Funny thing I just noticed - I should have joined the site last year, because I was actually finishing up Ducktales Remastered on Wii U around September :)

How does the list for next year get determined?  Does everyone make suggestions, or how does that work?

Suggestions, and the Playthrough crew decides on what to play and scheduling. ;)

Community Playthrough suggestion thread. Give your 2 cents, and the game might get selected at some point.

usually a mix between suggestions and us just deciding "hey this would make a good playthrough".

Though we have yet to settle on a retro title for January, the modern selection for that month will be 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand for 360 and PS3 and will be hosted by yours truly. Make sure to ask for a copy for Christmas!

So you say....................... The Retro side will be playing Kid Icarus on the NES of course. ;)

As long as the FDS version counts...

I will accept your vacuum cleaner belt driven system. :)

As long as they sweet tunes come from the machine, I am happy.

The schedule has been updated!  Announcements for January, February, and the retro title for March have been announced. We hope you all are as excited as we are about these picks and we hope that you will join us in the upcoming months.

Hmmm, I suppose I have to start thinking about my game for March. May I wait to see what I get for Christmas? ;)

Absolutely, no need to rush.

The retro titles are awesome! Excited to try 999 too. I listened to a podcast that did a play through on that game (forgot most of what happens heh) but I remember wanting to try it. Running through LTTP is gonna be a fun one too!

Yes, we have some pretty exciting months planned out. I hope we can stay strong and get participation numbers up. We'd really like to start hearing some feedback on our podcast and anything we don't discuss that you guys would want to add on our podcast discussion thread.

I'm pleased to announce that the modern game for March 2015 will be Batman: Arkham Origins hosted by yours truly.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about! Forcing me to get games that are high on my wishlist!

MM2 and 3!  I think I'm in on that one!  Now I just have to find them.  Crap everywhere...

Should probably update this thread with future playthroughs.  What collection is Bloodlines in?

Been tough to find playtime this month but I'm making my way...Rescued Craig, went after the Ba..Went after the Baaaa a, Went after the B, Went After the Ba BA Ba, Went after the Ba.
[Press B to Skip}
Went after the Bard, beat him, and now I'm  back in the world and I think I''ll do some side quests and friend searching because I'm finding the combat a little challenging. Hopefully some levels will help.
