- Donkey Kong Country
I had no interest in getting this game when it was released. I mean seriously Donkey Kong didn't have the coolest games before that and the game looked like just another 2D platformer set in some dark jungle. The SNES was full of shitty platformers and I was pretty much over em at the time. DKC blew my mind when I finally rented it. I turned it off after 2 levels and asked my mother to buy it for me right away as it was the best game I'd ever played.
- Super Mario Galaxy
I knew it would be good but I had no idea it would blow every other 3D platformer out of the water.
