what was THE game or games that made you buy a particular console? I'm not talking about games that were cool after you bought the console, I'm talking about the game that sold you the system.

for me:
Saturn - Nights, Panzer Dragoon Zwei
Gameboy color - Pokemon Red
N64 - Goldeneye, Zelda
PSone - Grandia, Guitar Freaks
Gamecube - Resident Evil 4
PStwo - We <3 Katamari, Shadows of the Colossus
Sega CDX - Lunar series

I bought 2 DS's and a Dreamcast too but it wasnt because a game made me want them when i had originally bought them, they came much later.
 
Genesis: Mortal Kombat 3
GameBoy: Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
GBA: Golden Sun
PS1: Final Fantasy VII
PS2: Sequels to beloved PS1 RPGs
Dreamcast: Soul Calibur
PSP: Wipeout Pure
 
After my Dreamcast broke I decided to just get a Gamecube rather than another DC for the better graphics and because it also had Sonic games (I'm a huge sonic fan.). So I guess you could say that Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle kind of lured me into getting the Gamecube.
 
Gamboy Color = Pokemon
Gameboy Advance = Advance Wars
Dreamcast = Powerstone
Gamecube (1st time I bought it) = Resident Evil 0 / Metroid Prime
Gamecube (2nd time I bought one) = Metroid Prime 2
Gamecube (3rd time I bought one) = Resident Evil 4
PSP = Lumines/Ridge Racer
 
Im gonna be forced to buy a next gen console once I see Sonic on them. Damn consoles. If only Sega still made consoles...

Game Cube= Metroid series. I grew up playing them on NES and just had to have the new ones. Worth every penny IMO.

Nintendo=Super Mario/Duck Hunt cartridge
Playstation=Resident Evil 2
Playstation 2=Tekken Tag Tournament but Kingdom Hearts made me glad I bought it
 
I only own a Gamecube for Metroid Prime...which I couldn't even bother to finish.



Now I only use it to play my Kingdom Hearts, chain of memories...well, I did. If I could find my gamecube.



PS2 is the only console this generation that I really cared for, and bought it just for the sake it was the next PS and have been overly impressed and happy with my purchase.
 
Gamecube = Smash Brothers Melee, thats the only game that I ever bought a console singly for it, even though I think I might pick up fire emblem soon.
 
N64 = SSB
PS2 = Beats the hell out of me....Why did I buy it?
SNES = Donkey Kong Country
Dreamcast = Shenmue, and cause it was only $80 new.
 
Nintendo DS = Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow

maybe the best castlevania ever, ranks right next to symphony of the night


Gamecube = Metroid Prime
Game Boy Advance = Castlevania - Circle of the Moon
 
Sypdermonkey - Katamari and God Of War should be on the PS2's list :)

Purchased for:
NES - Super Mario Bros
SNES - Super Mario World / Mario Paint (hehe)
N64 - Mario 64
Dreamcast - Soul Calibre
Game Boy Advance - bought it late, hundreds of games, including Zelda LttP again
PS2 - "toy story graphics" (and the promise of Final Fantasy)
Gameboy SP - I bought my brother a DS for X-mas and took it. hahaha (FF: CC? lol)
Gamecube - Smash Bros and Rogue Squadron II

Edit: I found this on another forum, and thought the sentiment to be relevant:
I used to bash on the GC until my friend and the first party games forced me to buy it. Let me tell you there isnt a console out that maintains the old school feel like my GC does. Kind of hard to explain, but when you play a GC first party game you know your playing a quality game that was published not just for the revenue it would bring, but because the developer really loved the game and wanted to make it great. By all means dont let the naysayers sway you, although i really hate cellshading i still think the new zelda kicked arse. This console is worth every penny, and I highly recommend it.

ahh, battletoads brings back some memories... painful ones. i had actually stolen money from my sister by climbing thru her window when everyone was out. then took the bus to k-mart and bought the game. everyone came back, sis found missing money, and i forgot about the chair and bucket i used to get thru the window. my sis was crying, i get yelled at and was forced to pay her back. took me about 4 months to do that since i was only 11 and accrued a menial allowance.

even so, battletoads is still one of THE hardest games of all time.
 
Lol, BUSTED!!

Yeah, that game was pretty tough. If you didn't use the warp zones right, there is almost no way you can make it through those levels. The hardest one for me was the Elevator board, and the one following that one, where you are in the pipes and have to swim. That part where you are on a jet plane is tough too.

No Neo-Geo, Phillips CD-I, 3DO or Jaguar owners? I never had any of these either, just wondering if some of you out there might have. We all make mistakes. :p
