Since a console is not a big investment, I just buy one when I feel like I want to have it. Usually, a Nintendo console is a no-brainer. Sony has me on the fence with Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Witcher. Xbox I just dont care.

The reason for not buying a PS4 is actually only that I dont want to have my living room full of game consoles....

I was gonna buy a WiiU some time anyways but Donkey Kong Country was what made me pull the trigger.



Smash and pokemon forced me to purchase a 3ds xl. Multiple 1st, 2nd and 3rd party titles for xbox.



Ratchet & Clank, WipEout, Sly Cooper, WRPGs (not only exclusives).

Pokemon. Every handheld I have owned I bought for Pokemon. Fire Emblem has grown on me since the GBA days, but I don't know if I could call it a system seller for me.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

Zelda. Only Zelda. The console that gets Zelda is the console I'll own.

This goes for any company, every other console needs at least a couple of amazing games that greatly interest me. Since Zelda happens to come out on Nintendo consoles, I will also always buy every Mario platformer and Mario Kart at the very least. The rest is wait and see.



Pokemon, Monster Hunter
