Games which Inspired you to get Systems

Postby Thoul » Wed Dec 10, '08, 5:34 pm

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.

Here's my list...

Spyro the Dragon-PS1
Ratchet and Clank-PS2
Super Smash Bros. Brawl-Wii

If PS3's weren't so expensive, I'd probably get one for Mirror's Edge. And that's not the only game on that system that appeals to me. Also, if I could find a working SNES, I'd get one just for Earthbound...assuming I can find an Earthbound cartridge as well.
Next Pokemon game(s): Pearl
Last finished Pokémon game: Shield
Other games: Skyrim Special Edition (Switch), Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Switch & PS4), Okami (Switch & PS4)
Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation

I'd also like to get a PS3 or a Wii but I dont have the money at the moment.
