At 8:00p, I completed the final puzzle in Professor Layton and the Last Specter for the Nintendo DS. This is the first game cleared in 2012. Thirty-nine games remain for the 2012 goal. Final clear time is 10 hours, 52 minutes with 117 puzzles solved.

At 10:37p, I completed the second quest of Super Mario Land for the Game Boy (via Virtual Console). This is the thirteenth game cleared in 2011. Twenty-two games remain for the 2011 challenge.

(This game was eligible for a Clear notice because a) I had never completed the second quest, and b) even if I had, it has been at least ten years since I last beat the game.)

At 8:24p, I completed the final puzzle of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future for the Nintendo DS. This is the eighth game cleared in 2011. Twenty-seven games remain for the 2011 goal.

At 8:54p, I defeated (spoiler, hover over to read), the final boss of Pokemon Black Version for the Nintendo DS. This is the sixth game cleared in 2011. Twenty-nine games remain for the 2011 goal. Clear time is 49:57 over 34 days.

At 12:36, I defeated the final stage of the single-player mode of BlayzBloo for the DSi. This is the sixteenth game cleared in 2010. Thirty-four games remain for the 50/2010 challenge.

At 7:33a, I defeated Red, the Kanto Champion, in Pokemon SoulSilver for the DS. This is the tenth game cleared in 2010. Forty games remain to be cleared for the 50/2010 challenge, and two main-line Pokemon games remain for the Three Ribbons 2010 challenge.

At 6:37p, I completed “The Elysian Box”, the final puzzle of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box on the DS. This is the sixth game cleared in 2010. Forty-four games remain to be cleared for the 50/2010 challenge.
