"Day One" game purchases

[Smeags]

Nice thread Mr. Lewis!

Anywho...

DS:

• New Super Mario Bros.: 5/15/06 (When a new Mario game comes out, I'm there. When a new 2D Mario comes out... well I'm doubly there!)
• Pokemon Diamond: 4/28/07 (What can I say? I'm a Pokemaniac at heart and DS' first Pokemon release was up there on my hype list. More than 250 hours later, the game has not disspointed!)
• Pokemon SoulSilver: 3/14/10 (Another day, another Pokemon game I had to get the day it came out.)
• Pokemon Black: 3/6/11 (Are you seeing a pattern here? When a mainstream Pokemon game is announced, I'm there day one. Black is a fantastic game (120 hours in so far) and I'll be there for the next generational Pokemon too!)

Wii:

• The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: 11/19/06 (Wii had a couple of launch games that interested me... but Twilight Princess was the game that I had to have! This and Wii Sports really made the Wii launch shine.)
• Rayman Raving Rabbids: 11/19/06 (Another Wii launch game, this game was a bunch of mini-games made awesome by the zaniness of the Rabbids. I love those guys!)
• Red Steel: 11/19/06 (This was the game that you had to have with the Wii. I mean... shooting guns was cool, but sword fighting with the WiiMote? Awesome! Unfortunately, the game didn't deliver! Boo!)
• Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2: 11/19/06 (I got four games when the Wii launched, and Budokai Tenkaichi 2 was one of 'em. The game was pretty darn fun, and gesturing the Kamehameha was awesome.)
• Sonic & the Secret Rings: 2/20/07 (Wii's first Sonic game and it would be mine! The game was different, but it was still very fun!)
• Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: 8/27/2007 (This was the first game I bought when I went off to college, and it was an awesome experience.)
• Super Mario Galaxy: 11/1/07 (The second best game of the generation for me. Like I said before, when a new Mario game comes out, I'm there!)
• Super Smash Bros. Brawl: 3/9/08 (The Smash Bros. series is something to get excited about. Its a game that holds so many beloved Nintendo characters [Sonic and Snake made the game even sweeter!] and it only comes out once a generation. So yeah, It released during my Spring Break... was there day one, and it was awesome!)
• Sonic & the Black Knight: 3/3/09 (I love Sonic games. It's who I am! So I got Black Knight on day one seeing as Christmas was past and my birthday wasn't until a couple more months. It was a good game, but not great.)
• Metroid Prime Trilogy: 8/24/09 (The game came out on my birthday, so of course I was going to get this day one! Doesn't hurt that it was a collector's series, and I wanted to get it as soon as possible!)
• New Super Mario Bros. Wii: 11/15/09 (So what if Christmas was right around the corner, I would be playing this game as soon as I could, and that was the first day it released!)
• No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle: 1/26/10 (I loved the zany, violent, and hilarious world of Travis Touchdown, and I wanted to be there day one for his next adventure. Great game!)
• Super Mario Galaxy 2: 5/23/10 (Galaxy was my second favorite game of the generation, this game is my 1st favorite. I'll always be there for a new Mario game!)
• Metroid: Other M: 8/31/10 (Metroid games usually come out right around my birthday, so having the money to get them day one isn't too difficult. It was a good game, but I was slightly disappointed with Samus' adventure.)
• Epic Mickey: 11/26/10 (Being so close to Christmas, I only wanted to get one game... and it was either Donkey Kong or Mickey, and I chose Mickey. I don't think I made the wrong decision either, as Epic Mickey was a game that took place in my childhood's imagination. Fantastic game!)

3DS:

• Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition: 3/27/11 (This is the only launch title I got with my 3DS, but the game is still great!)
