Not quite a fit to the topic, but I bought Metal Gear Solid 4 & 5 for PS3, and I don't own the console. I can borrow one from my renters any time when I make any serious progress in my gaming backlog of PS1/PS2 games, so I probably won't ever buy one so long as that option is around... Can I still even call myself much of a gamer in the last 10 years ? I dunno... :/

No, nothing comes to mind.

The closest was the cd-i for Tetris.

I bought a Wonderswan for Judgement Silversword... still waiting for a hypothetical repro   :mrgreen:

Could buy Eschatos for 360, its included. Also Eschatos is pretty fun.

This feels like the question works better if it was


What single game motivated you to purchase X gaming console?


Example:  I bought the PS3 when I saw MGS IV. Which lead me to now own 30 other games.



Or something.

I thought to do that, but the WS is so small and light it can fit your tyniest pocket, and giving JS a quick run anywhere and anywhen (is that even a word?) you want must be pretty awesome.

I see. If you can't find a repro, I guess there's always this thing: http://www.flashmasta.com/category/wonderswan-flash-cart/

Seeing Ultra Ben Buja's ridiculous machinima videos of GTA IV motivated me to get an Xbox 360 in 2010. I just HAD to play that game, and it was no disappointment.

They tried to make me do a recap
I said no, no, no

GBA micro for Final Fantasy 6

I have actually bought consoles over the years just based on seeing a particular game in magazines but eventually started buying other games for each of them.

When I bought a Micro (already had GBAs), the first game I played through was FFVI. :)

The screen resolution being lower than the games was very disappointing though.

I bought an Xbox 360 just to get the sound of Concorde taking off in my bedroom.
