Topic: Play and Beat Every Letter of the Alphabet (2026 Edition)

There was a 2025 thread like this and I thought it was a fun idea so let's start afresh!

Goal: Play a game starting with each letter of the alphabet during 2026. Or at least as many as you can.

• 1 point per letter.
• Double points if you beat the game in 2026.

The intention is to play the game for real, not just open it up and play for 2 minutes. If you've played multiple of a letter feel free to pick your favorite or list them all, but you don't get extra points.

• Up to 1 bonus point (2 if beaten) if you play a game starting with a number or symbol.

Below is an example from me. I mark beaten games in bold.

[0-10 or symbol].
A. Animal Crossing New Horizons
B. Ball x Pit
C.
D. Dadish 4
E.
F. Fantasy Life i
G. Golden Axe (mega drive)

P. Pokemon Legends Z-A
Q.

S. Suika Game Planet
T. Tetris 99

12 letters with 3 of them beaten in January, so 15 points so far. The maximum is 54. I actually beat two B games but just listed my favorite of them.

Edit: For those who want to focus on beaten games, we can count those separately. So I have 15 total points but only 3 in the beaten letter category.

C. Castlevania Lords of Shadow (Beaten)

@FishyS Do games that you have started earlier in life count? I probably have a bunch of unfinished Rpgs for most letters of the alphabet😅Could be a good excuse to finish them. What about articles in the names? I assume The Legend of Zelda is filed under L and not T?

Games you started before this year definitely count if you non-trivially play them this year. You can feel free to decide whether to include definite articles at the start or not since both options are valid ways to alphabetize the game.

Will update as soon as I have more games to play.
EDIT: Did the previous 2025 thread got deleted or something? I cannot find the comment I made there.

A.
B. Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean (started it last year and got stuck)
C.
D. Doraemon: Nobita to 3tsu no Seireiseki (a poor man's Mario 64 that has been in my collection for a while, will need a translator to read the text)
E. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
F. Fushigi no Dungeon Furai no Shiren 2 / FInal Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (GC ver.)
G.
H.
I. Itadaki Street DS (got it on September 2025 and since October Alena, Bianca and Peach have made sure I cannot progress any further)
J.
K.
L.
M. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (specifically on Hard difficulty; currently at the end of Normal difficulty)
N. NES Remix Pack (I have NES Remix 1 and 2 digitally, but the physical pack has been unplayed due to technical issues with the Wii U GamePad, which I hope to fix this year)
O.
P.
Q.
R. Ridge Racer 64
S. Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 (NSO version; 100% it on the Wii U Virtual Console, but the NSO version is pending clearing)
T. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream (yeah, I'm cheating but this is a game that eventually will be in my collection this year)
U.
V. Viewtiful Joe (new game for me that will arrive soon)
W. WarioWare: Move It! (getting all the microgames, intermission poses and check if the multiplayer modes have unlockables)
X.
Y. Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 (NSO version; I already cleared the SNES version)
Z.

I couldn't find it either but I assumed I was just blind... Did it have a confusing name? I was hoping someone would eventually drop a link to it so I could add it to the top.
