Every video game system, whether it be console ot handheld, has its library of games that everyone remembers fondly enjoying on that system. But I believe there is always that ONE game in particular that serves as THE game on the system. For a multitude of reasons: Quality, sales (software AND hardware), franchise or genre defining, pushing the system to its absolute graphical and technical limits, taking full advantage of the system’s unique hardware or gimmicks (Motion Controls, Touch Screen), etc. Basically, if you think of that system, you think of that game.

For me, personally:

NES - The Legend of Zelda

SNES - Zelda: A Link to the Past

Genesis - Sonic the Hedgehog

N64 - Paper Mario

PS1 - GTA

GB - Pokemon Red/Blue

GBC - Pokemon Yellow

PS2 - GTA

GBA - Advanced Wars

OG Xbox - Halo

GameCube - Paper Mario TTYD

Wii - Wii Sports

DS - Bowsers Inside Story

360 - Halo Reach

PS3 - god of War 3

3DS - Animal Crossing New Leaf

Wii U - Miiverse

XOne - Gamepass

PS4 - Spiderman

NSW - Metroid Prime 4
