Back in 2009, I made a thread called "games so nice, you bought it twice". Here's my list from the OP:
Am I alone in this? I notice I've bought a few games twice. The list includes:

-Tomb Raider Legend: PS2/360

-Tomb Raider Anniversary: PS2/360

-Bloodrayne 2: PS2/Xbox

-True Crime LA: Gamecube(SEVERELY gimped version)/PS2

-Super Mario Bros. :Nes/Gameboy/Super Nes/Virtual Console

-Resident Evil 4: Gamecube/Wii

Super Mario 64: N64/DS

-Super Mario Bros. 2: Nes/Gameboy Advance/Super Nes

-Super Mario Bros. 3: Nes/Gameboy Advance/Super Nes

-Super Mario World: Super Nes/Gameboy Advance/Virtual Console

-Tetris: Every console ever!

-Starfox 64: N64/Virtual Console

-Wave Race 64: N64/Virtual Console

-WWF Warzone: N64/Playstation

-Metal Gear Solid 2/3: PS2/PS2

-Street Fighter III; 3rd Strike: Dreamcast/PS2

-Crash Bandicoot 3: PS1/PSN



And (aside from Mario All Stars) this doesn't even include the updated remakes (Twin Snakes, Conker: Live and Reloaded). Is there something wrong with me? Why do I buy the exact same experience repeatedly? More importantly, what are some games that were so good that you had to buy them twice?



*edit* Since this thread, I've bought

-Tomb Raider Legend: PSP (third time I bought this game!)

-Spyro the Dragon: PS1/PSN

-Streets of Rage 2: Genesis/XBLA

-Medal of Honor: PS1/PSN

-Street Fighter Alpha: PS1/PSN

-Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: Dreamcast/XBLA



*edit* Since this edit, I've bought

-Crash Bandicoot 1 (PS1/PSN)

-Crash Bandicoot 2 (PS1/PSN)

-Crash Team Racing (PS1/PSN)

-Peggle (Xbox Live Arcade/PSP)

-Super Mario All Stars (Super Nes/Wii)

-Splinter Cell (Gamecube/Xbox)

-Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (PS1/Dreamcast)

-Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (PS1/Dreamcast)



These are just the games I bought twice, updated up to Holiday 2010. I've bought more since then! I don't even want to think about the games I've played through, repeatedly!!

What a fantastic list!! I actually never bought a game twice myself because I have kept every game I own since I was a child!



Xenogears, Skies of Arcadia, and Final Fantasy 8, Ocarina of Time, I have played 7 or 8 times each (lost count though, I am guessing this number since I have played them no less than once every 2 years since they launched). To me, these are my elite games which I will keep coming back to.


Others include: Final Fantasy 7, Mario RPG, Illusion of Time, FF Tactics, Ogre Battle 1 and 64, etc... at least 3 times (sometimes I do half playthroughs on this one)

Final Fantasy Legend 2, E.V.O., Final Fantasy Adventure, Terranigma, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, and Final Fantasy 6 I have played no less than 10 times each (they're short, and I love them each so much)

Games like Mario 3, Faxanadu, Dracula's Curse, DKC 1, 2, 3, Civilization 2, Europa Universalis, and Sim City 2000 I don't count because it's not fair due to the nature and/or lengths of the games - I would say dozens for each game at least.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

DA:O, ME2, COD4, Rome Total War, other than that, I can't remember. Fable I/II would be on that list too, along with the Halo: CE



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Shining Force 1 and 2 at least 10 times each. Probably closer to 15. Still love them both to this day and would trade my left nut for a current gen Shining Force game!

I beat shining force 2 at least once a year. And thats been since I was 4 or 5. (30 times?)


Good man! I'm only at around 10-15 times, but I play the first one over and over again as well.



Uncharted 2 - 3x

Demon's Souls - 2x

The Saboteur - 2x

Vanquish - 3x

Assassin's Creed 1, 2, B - 2x (couldn't make it past the first hour of revelations)

Mass Effect 1, 2 - 3x

Gears 2 - 2x

MW 1, 2 - 2x

Fallout 3 - 4x





 

Super Mario Bros: countless
Super Mario World: 3 times, years apart
Paper Mario TTYD: 4 times
Mario Sunshine: 3 times
Pokemon first three gens: 3-5 times each (earlier = more times)
Pokemon TCG: 3 times
NSMBWii: countless
Random Fire Emblem games: ~3 times each
Digimon World 4: Tons of play time and playthroughs
MegamanX 4-8: countless

Other than those, I sometimes play a game a second time if I really like it

...I start and stop playing multiplayer games at random (Mario Kart, SSB) but never completely stop until the next iteration comes along

And that's the thing.  Maybe not all, but maybe 80% of those games, I still have the other version when I buy the new one.  I got Resident Evil 4 from Xbox Live in 2011 when I have a perfectly good working Wii Edition and Gamecube version at home.  I bought Street Fighter 4 on the 3DS last year.  I got Metal Gear Solid HD collection in November and then got Metal Gear Solid 3 for the 3DS, yesterday!!  I won't even go into Ambassador games, Virtual Console, and the other 3DS remakes/re-releases.  It's just too depressing.

 

I may ask a mod if I can necro-bump that thread.  I just realized that I re-bought a lot of games in 2011.
