This isn't every single game I own, rather it's every game I own and am reasonably interested in playing, usually until credits. Every so often I'll find a game in my deep backlog that I didn't realize I had, or I've reassessed my interested in playing it, and I'll stealth add those in. Otherwise this is everything 'in scope' for me to work on, and my memory card will represent how much new stuff I am buying vs. how much I'm working through the backlog.
Ratings-
For the most part I don’t rate a game until I’ve finished it in some fashion. I will rate Null games if I feel I’ve played enough to have a good handle on
5 - My favorite games, I love these, I love my time with them, they are often in my mind even when I’m not playing them. Not all of these will be perfect, but their imperfections are going to be things that either I don’t mind, or might even be part of their charm for me
4 - I really enjoyed my time with these. I’m always glad to get back to playing these game, but they don’t occupy my mind while I’m away from them. Some of these just fall short of 5 stars, or hit that rating on some parts, but some small other things pull it down overall.
3 - I enjoyed these games, but don’t have much lasting appeal for me. Some of these just overstay their welcome, moving from a fun time to feeling like a slog in the last stretch, or they may be pretty good throughout, but with no stand out qualities that really make them stand in my memory over time.
2 - These games were tough for me to finish, but I did get them there. These will be games I enjoyed well enough to start, but at some point between the middle and end my enjoyment really fell, but not enough to prevent me from pushing through the end. Any game that starts around this rating will be one I just stop playing and delete from my library because I won’t feel it’s worth my time
1 - These will be exceedingly rare because if I’m not enjoying my time with a game this much, I will simply stop playing it and remove the game from my Backloggery.
I use Null for games that I don’t want to feel pressure to play, such games I have no system for, games I strictly play to relax, and some I like the novelty of owning, but don't really want to play.

I'm certain it won't have as much of an impact as the Wii U did, seems like it might be ironic that the current greatest selling console of time will have less of an impact than one of the worst selling from the biggest platform holders, but then again a lot of the Wii U's appeal for me was the virtual consoles featuring a curated list of games from 7 previous consoles.
