Sooo i was playing DKC2 for the first time some weeks ago and i thought: it would be really cool if i check all the Nintendo games i completed.
So i started searching on the internet through wikipedia and i started writing all the Nintendo titles of his most famous franchises.
As i continued to go deeper in the list i found about SO MANY franchises and videogames that no one knows about.
I started writing even these strange games like the ones for the Satellaview, the ones for the N64DD, the ones for the e-Reader and many other things.
At a certain point an idea comes to my mind: Why should I be the only one to have it? Wikipedia isn't very accurate and a lot of things get lost. There isn't an archive of every Videogame Nintendo has produced, so I have to do it.
From a check list it became this objective, and i continued wrinting videogames.
After some days another idea comes to my mind: An Excel file is graphically bad for something so important, i need a site, a real site.
If anyone is unaware, there is a website dedicated to amiibo, Amiibo Life, where you can also check which amiibo you own, so my idea came to this, a similar site, but for the videogames.
Now, i have the excel file in my drive with most of the franchises but not everyone, i have even some photos of what i'm imagining the site could be, the only problem is that i don't have enough skills for programming an entire site, so i just need help for creating the site and then write all in it.
If anyone would like to give me a hand, that would be very kind.
The Excel file: List of Videogames Nintendo Archive (the site is based on EU games, NA/JP things are written in the notes)
(If someone see that a videogame is missing can write it in this post)
The images of what i think the site would look like: Images of the site in my mind
In the description of the image there will be all the details i'm thinking about it.
Thanks for reading everything

You sound fairly passionate about making this. You should do it
Sounds interesting, can you upload the images somewhere other than imgur, they blocked the UK.

Before creating anything of the sort you’d need to come up with a reasonable definition of what you consider a Nintendo game, because this severely impact what games you’d be listing and the scope of the project.
Is it games either published or developed by Nintendo? Just those developed *and* published by Nintendo? Published in any region or all regions? Etc etc.
For example, right now you list the Pokémon android games (TCGP, Go, etc.). These are neither published by Nintendo, nor developed by any Nintendo studio, their only connection is Nintendo having a partial stake in TPC, so only Nintendo games in the extremely widest of definitions.

Various efforts have been made to list all these games and your current list is.. *extremely* short and incomplete, comparatively.
Here’s one from someone that’s trying to beat every Nintendo *published* game: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wsw3AmCvW5No0ahuScSrs5ml1U28p1AeRQ_S3tPDFH8/edit?usp=drivesdk
It comes out to 1000+ games, around 2000 if you’re counting distributed games too. And that’s without going as far reaching as you would be.

What you’re talking about can be accomplished in any Wiki software or any simple website builder (from WordPress to Squarespace). You don’t need anyone with any programming knowledge, just the willingness to invest the time and learn the tools.
