Steven Pendleton Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) PS4 for Metal Gear Solid V. Then 2 weeks later they announced the PC version and I was not very happy that I wasted my money on the PS4. Also 3DS just for Tales of the Abyss, a game I'd already played like 6 times. That turned out okay, though it's too bad that the performance and the audio are significantly worse than the PS2 version. I forgot Switch just for Shin Megami Tensei V. That ended up being a pretty disappointing game in most ways, sadly. Also forgot SFC just for Super Metroid. That was definitely worth it!

Reaperman Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I bought: a ps3 for gran trusimo 5, which ended up coming out ~2 years later... 😡 a 360 for forza 4, which is about all that specific console ever did for me. and I'm probably the only person in the world who bought a switch specifically for Virtua Racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Not really, I usually like to know what's there now or in the coming months at least to care. The closest by default would honestly be N64, if you discount the Dream Team stuff and the potential stuff for 1996, it basically was a Super Mario 64 play machine, pilotwings in a foggy distant second for some days/weeks after for most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 GB for Mortal Kombat II, SNES for Super Mario All-Stars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanClassic Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I would definitely say the N64, specifically for Super Mario 64. Although, there really wasn’t more than 3 games available for the first several months. Although even then, I cannot remember buying any game until Diddy Kong Racing was released. Before that, a used SNES specifically for Link to the Past and Super Mario World. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathAdderSF Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Nope. But Earthbound def added to my incentives list for buying a used Pooper Nintendo back in high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtmonkey Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Yes! Just a few days ago, I bought a Wonderswan Color just to play Wild Card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schuwalker Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Initially, I bought a N64 for Goldeneye. Later on... I purchased Shadows of the Empire and Rogue Squadron. Being a fan of the N64 latter game, I bought a Gamecube for the sequel to Squadron which eventually led to Rebel Strike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Pendleton Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Gamecube is worth owning just for Rogue Squadron II. Even if it was the only game on the system, it would automatically justify buying a Gamecube. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseystyle Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 PS4 to play The Last of Us (Remaster), Switch for Mario Odyssey, PS2 for Dragon Quest 8, N64 for Mario 64. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatPix Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) While I eventually acquired both, I choose the PS3 over the Xbox 360 to play the Silent Hill games that would release on it (although with Konami it was rather random what would release where). Same thing from the previous generation, I chose the PS2 to play GTA 3 and Silent Hill 2. In both case tho I ended up acquiring dozens of games for the platforms; I haven't bough a console so far to play only one or a few games.

bomberpunk Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 The only reason I own an N64 is for Conker's Bad Fur Day (multiplayer Beach & Heist). I need to get an original Xbox for my Spy VS Spy game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I bought PS4 specifically to play Spider-man. Every other console, there were multiple games I knew I wanted but nothing specific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max_Chatsworth Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I guess I did in spirit. I asked for and got the ColecoVision for Christmas the first year it was out and I was in 6th Grade(that would have been 82 at Christmas time). I asked for it specifically because I wanted to play Venture. Yes, I know it is a pretty weak game, but my brother and I loved it in the arcade. Hell, not even the arcade, I don't think I ever saw it in a proper arcade or even pool hall slowly turning arcade. It was always in something like a convenience store. Or grocery store foyer. The really funny part is the ONE place we played it the most and it was there for at least a year I think was one of those big Venture discount stores near my grandma's house in Mission, KS. For fellow Americans on here, you may remember those stores. They always just had a plain black and white diagonally striped sign. The name of the store had nothing to do with the fact that they had a Venture game. We'd walk miles ever Christmas break when we'd spend part of it at our grandmother's house to play that game almost every day. It was utterly simplistic, but one of if not THE first video game that we saw that was a like "Whoa! A dungeons and dragons type game!!!" So yeah...I wanted the ColecoVision so badly just to play this game mostly. Also it had a Donkey Kong where the god damn screen was oriented correctly like the real game, not that 2600 abomination! Ended up with quite a few cool titles. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
