For each game, the total number of votes, the average rating, and the vote distribution are shown. New games are indicated by a "*" before their entry. If a "(C)" appears after the title it means that the game is a CD-ROM or disc system title. If a "(J)" appears after the title it means that the game is currently only available in Japan.
