What was the first game you acquired for each system you have owned.

Quick clarification: So when you say "acquired", it would include pack-ins, separate purchases, rentals, borrowed from someone and even theft(?!?), correct?



PS3: Resistance
PS4: Rayman Legends
PS5: Kena Bridge of spirits
N64: Mario 64
WiiU: Mario 3D World
Switch: Zelda: Breath of the Wild

I do not recall what was the game in other consoles tbh.

Absolutely. I had a choice.

Buy a WiiU for Breath of the Wild.
Buy a Switch for Breath of the Wild.

I bought the WiiU because it was $100 AUD on clearance sale and Breath of the Wild was $70 brand new.
The Switch at the time was $470 and Breath of the Wild was $90.

Keep in mind I had skipped Nintendo's Home consoles during the Gamecube and Wii era due to a lack of games that enticed me.

I don't regret my decision, eventually backfilled my WiiU Library with every Australian release, my WiiU+Game library is worth more now, than what I originally paid for it.
The WiiU was a great machine at the end of it's life if you were just jumping into it and easily the cheapest way to play Breath of the Wild, but would have sucked if you got it on launch day.
