I found that without a goal, my collecting was a little less focused last year.

1. Reach 100 Super Famicom games (currently 85)
2. Pick up 10 Final Fantasy variants (any region)
3. Reach 525 games in my collection.

EDIT (01 May 2015): currently have 90 SFC games.  Other two goals were reached sooner than I expected.
EDIT (09 Dec 2015): reached 100 SFC games

[Beardcore84]

1. I want to get the last 12 SNES games I need for my full set.

As the honeymoon period of my retro game collecting ebbs, I have some more realistic, more well defined goals heading into the new year.

1. Slim down and refocus my collection:  I went through the period that everyone surely does, just buying whatever's out there at $1-$5 because, why not?  Well, when I looked at the piles and piles of carts, I realized why.  I hope to move in a year or two, and I know all of it can't come with me.  So, the bulk of the games that are doubles or simply things I won't play will be making their exit this year.

2. Continue to define and collect my NES beat 'em up subset:  I love beat 'em ups and I love the NES, so naturally I love where they intersect.  However, it's not as easy to define what is and is not a beat 'em up on the 8-bit systems.  It's a bit of a grey area that I look forward to exploring and collecting.

3. Continue to collect console beat 'em ups on other systems, too: Money will be tight this year, but I hold out hope that I can knock out a few of the more expensive 16-bit beat 'em ups out there.  Looking at you, Final Fight 3 and SNES Ninja Warriors.  Failing that, I'm sure there's some less expensive ones I can pick up.  The ocean of beat 'em up games is broader and deeper than even I realized.

4. Continue to buy from senseiman:  Might as well give myself a softball goal that will almost certainly happen.

5. Post more on RF Gen: It's been a great year of semi-lurking, but I hope to post more on the forums and possibly even put up a blog post or two this year.

[techwizard]

 - Clayfighter 63 1/3 Sculptor's Cut box
 - Get at least one of the following, the next 3 most expensive N64 titles after SC that I don't own yet:
    - Stunt Racer 64 - CIB
    - Super Bowling - CIB
    - Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals - CIB
 - Fill in the blanks to make the rest of my N64 games all CIB
 - 200 North American N64 games had made this goal, since sold off 28 N64 games for condition
 - Continue cleaning games finished entire collection
 - Weed out the last shelf unit for anything I'm not interested in keeping. - finished

[Addicted]

I'm going with more modest goals for 2015:

- Upgrade one console to RGB (Most likely Genesis)

- Buy the following:
  - More Famicom/SuFami games
  - At least one title off my must own list
  - Darkwing Duck for the NES
  - More Homebrews
  - Skylanders Giants or Trap Team

- Fill in missing items in RFGEN database
