Title: Number Of Officially Licensed Games For Each Nintendo System
Post by: Shepy on December 11, 2015, 12:53:03 AM
I've found these numbers rather difficult to find actually. Only included are officially licensed games. Variants are also not included. These numbers are the North American libraries. I'd be interested in comparing numbers from Japan / Europe as well but this data doesn't seem easily accessible in its entirety. I

NES - 676 (I don't count Stadium Events so take that as you will)
SNES - 720
N64 - 296
GC - 558
Wii - 968?
Wii U - In Progress

GB - 506
GBC - 445
VB - 14
GBA - 1044?
DS - 1589?
3DS - In Progress


The numbers with a "?" were just taken from NintendoAge. Not sure how accurate they are but it's a starting point. Anyone else have better / different numbers?

Where did you get 506 for the Game Boy? I combed through the RFGEN database and came up with 505 licensed, non-variant releases.

512 Original Releases
-1 Sachen Release (4-in-1)
-5 Wisdom Tree Release (Exodus, Joshua, KJB, NIV, Spiritual Warfare)

According to our database. MetalFRO, you may be thinking some of the Players Choice variants are PC variants, but some were released as PC only. For instance, The Smurfs and Mickey Mouse: Magic Wands! (though Magic Wands is incorrectly in our database with a base version).
