P1XL Party - Retro Minigame Collection

[Puce Moose]

This game looks interesting; I enjoy the retro game style. Is there any kind of over-arching meta game to the whole thing? (I'm always seeking a game similar to one of my all-time favorites; Retro Game Challenge for the DS, which has a bit of a story/magazines/unlockables, etc.)

Also, how many games can be beaten? I'm not a big fan of score chasing/endless style games, so I'm curious how many of the included games have a win condition.

Thanks!

The only meta game (and it's a stretch) is getting all the achievements in each game - the main menu adds silver and gold stars to each game's icon as you complete the achievements, so there's a bit of a "collect all the gold stars" goal.

Wanderers (the mini action-RPG) can be beaten. Splatform (the platformer) also ends after you've finished all 9 levels. Bounced (the paddle/ball game) triggers an achievement after you've completed all the unique levels (23 of them I believe) but play does continue afterwards with slightly remixed variations. Marz and Bat Bite are truly endless. So, 2 or 3 out of 5 have an end, depending on how you count.
