Ignore for now. I will fill in the slots as people guess! I will also put the 'platform' and 'year' based on the copies I have. For example, Mario Kart 8 I bought both in 2014 on the WiiU and 2017 on the Switch. I won't count PSN and the Collection version of Mega Man X4 etc, though. And yes, I do have multiple copies of a lot of games on multiple consoles. 

List of games I figure will be on this list someday but I've not yet played and thus can't form an opinion on:

Horizon: Zero Dawn

Spider-Man

Ghost of Tsushima

Nier Automata

Chrono Trigger

Final Fantasy VII Remake

The Witcher III: Wild Hunt

Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Biggest pikmin fan on VGchartz I won from a voting poll
