Forums - Nintendo - What franchises make you buy systems?

Tales of, KOEI Warriors series (and actually supporting said games with XLs and Empires), Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, JRPG series in general, and Persona.

Nintendo is slowly losing me, though, and has been since the Wii. Mario (especially Paper) and Zelda get me to buy their systems, but I've slowly been losing interest in these series over time. I still buy the handhelds, though, what with the Zelda remakes and RPG games.



Around the Network

maybe around a month after MK8 was released, then I knew the upcoming games like Smash, Bayo 2, XCX, Hyrule Warriors and other upcoming games. Plus we have SMB3W, and nSMBWU, I'm cool with it.

buying 3rd party games that are really are discounted, plus Wii games and still waiting for XCX.



Paper Mario. If Nintendo came out with a Paper Mario once a year and literally NOTHING else, I would find their console/handheld worth buying. I NEED Paper Mario. Everything else is optional.



I would say a main Final Fantasy or Street Fighter game.



Devil may cry
Metal gear
Street fighter
Souls series
Zelda
Star fox (however star fox zero isnt looking so great so i might be skipping that one)
Uncharted
Final fantasy 7 remake (not convinced about 15 but anything 10 and below id buy.)
Team ico games

Games that id buy in a heart beat if they were announced but most likley wont be...

Suikoden
Megaman legends
Chrono games

I love Smash and Mario Kart as much as everyone else, but I won't buy a system JUST for those games. I bought my Wii U close to launch because of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Although of course, more games were to come... I spent hundreds of hours with Tri on Wii, so 3U pushed me to buy a Wii U when it hadn't received a price drop, and I do not regret it.

But I'll also be getting a PS4 for the awesome JRPGS that it'll get, same story with my PS2, got it because of Xenosaga (<3) and the many exclusive games it has. Twisted Metal!!

Give me JRPGS and I'll buy the system!



Well, TimeSplitters would if they released another game.



Smash, Mario Kart, Zelda for the home console

and Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Zelda, Mario and others for the handheld

Pokémon. I buy an Apple Watch of that had the next Pokémon RPG on it.



Nintendo franchises get me to buy their systems.

Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Valkyria Chronicles, and Tales are examples of third party franchises that are system-sellers for me.
