N64: Castlevania (I am a collector after all)
GameCube: Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime
NDS: Dawn of Sorrow
SNES: Super Castlevania IV
MegaDrive: CV The New Generation

The NES and PS2 originally had no "must have" games for me, just a bunch of really good ones. Also, when I bought PS2 I had no DVD player so I used it as one for awhile.

Buying a 360 with no intention of playing anything on it must be so much fun.......

They sure make sturdy systems. I read in a gamer mag that one of their demo systems at some press event got the red rings of death. haha

Nowadays you are either a graphics whore or a fanboy. BR is Shank not CV. It is ridiculous to think that it is better than CV. If it was CV then it would be what RE4 is to Resi, a series killer. Dumb it down and make it look pretty. Enough idiots will buy it.

Ya know, I did get my brother to buy me a Dreamcast just for Sonic and RE:Code Veronica. I'd forgotten all about that.....guess that's because those weren't very good times for me, though. Meh.

Yep, The PS3 got messed up a couple of times too. Only the wii seemed to not have problems like that >.> Damn the heat!

And DreamCast could've been pretty good. But..... meh.

N64 - Zelda OoT
Gamecube - Soul Calibur II
PS2 - Manhunt
GBA - All 3 CVs

I also re-purchased an SNES a while back, mostly for SCIV. I've bought some other really good ones for it since.

And I bought DXC when it came out, but I haven't bought a PSP yet.

And I want Wii mostly for Twighlight Princess, and MGS4 is the main reason I want a PS3. I'll have all 3 current-gen consoles then. :)
