Occasionally, when a person is on the fence about buying a particular game system, they hear of an upcoming game that sways their opinion. It's that one game that you've just got to have, so you need the system to play it. What are some of the games that pushed you to get a console? Have you ever regretted those decisions?
These games persuaded me to buy these consoles:
Zelda DX - Game Boy
Zelda III - Super NES
Ocarina of Time - Nintendo 64
Phantasy Star Online - Dreamcast
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - DS
Maybe there were some others, but I don't recall them offhand if so. I haven't regretted getting any of those. PS Online turned out to be a bit of a disappointment to me, but the other great titles on the system made up for it.
