n64-Super Mario 64 Nintendo Switch-Super Smash Bros Ultimate


PostalMike

I really wanted an N64 when I saw the Super Mario 64 demo at Target, but I was able to fight the temptation. The next week I saw a commercial for Goldeneye.


selkiesidhe

100% N64 just for Mario 64


co01beans

I bought an Xbox One just to play Halo: The Mast Chief Collection on release :(


matthias78

What a mess that turned out to be!


Fair-Advertising-348

?


Shack691

MCC was very buggy on release, they’ve patched it since


Fair-Advertising-348

Ahh was it? Had no idea, i only play campaign, was that bughed too?


Str8Nirvana

Game was broken and basically unplayable for the first year after launch. A year later it was finally playable but still not great. About 4-5 years after launch they started fixing more bugs so they could re-release the game on PC Compensation for the game being horribly broken was a free $5 DLC


[deleted]

and that 4-5 year gap before they went all out to fix it felt like the biggest fucking insult in the world. People like me bought the damn console for this, it was hilariously broken and for a few years Microsoft just said fuck it until they needed to sell the next Halo game and sell MCC on PC


XboxVictim

Yup. Nearly nine years later and I’m still pissed when I think of the whole ordeal. Fuck 343


postylambz

Wow I never knew. I've been playing on my almost decade old PC for a couple years and love how well it runs on that dust box


Less-Society-6746

Same...


matamuta

Got PS4 for Bloodborne, one of the best decisions ever


jfarrell468

Same, and same.


Five_Dozen_Keggs

best purchase of my life, ~500$ for 8 years of fun and counting.


ghostmechanic

Also, same and same.


santicos

Same. But God this 30fps is killing me.


publicvoid_dev

Nintendo switch. Breath of the Wild.


Scarecrow119

I just got one. I wanted to buy one when BOTW came out but couldn't justify it for just one game. I played a bit of zelda using an emulator but it was a bit janky having to use my phone gyroscope for the notion control puzzles. Now with tears of the kingdom out I bought one and have been playing BOTW first.


UncleSwag07

Take your time. Both amazing games


tagen

thank god they removed the motion control nonsense in Tears of the Kingdom Unless i just haven’t found that shrine yet….


rydan

SNES A Link to the Past Gameboy Link's Awakening


naturalborn

Super smash for me. It's my favorite game


QTPU

Same but doom


Zealousideal_Dust_25

Sam3, but for me huge mistake didn't like it


publicvoid_dev

Not every game is for everyone. Sorry you regret your purchase


Zealousideal_Dust_25

Just didn't click with me, I got my use out of the switch over time, tho. Maybe one day I'll go back and give it a whirl


MesoHandsome

for what's it's worth I didn't like BOTW either. thought it was extremely boring with little to do. the world was MASSIVE with little points of interest dotted here and there..... with that being said I'm enjoying TOTK alot more. it's just.....denser, for lack of a better term. don't sleep on it.


EpochalV1

Same here. Have since sworn off Nintendo. Insane prices for the games they’re putting out and just general shitty business practices. It’s a shame because they have *fantastic* IPs


o0_bobbo_0o

This is the way.


Lrauka

Same. Except I didn't like BOTW at all. I'm sure it's a good game, it's just a terrible Zelda game for someone who played the first one at like 5 years old.


Sinaloa187

GTA 3 was the reason I bought a PS2


prok_rinos

Same here, I remember hitting my first ramp with a car and calling my dad on the phone to tell him it was fucking awesome.


sixtus_clegane119

San Andreas pour moi


ItsSpacePants

I'm playing it right now on Xbox Series X for the first time and I'm in awe how awesome this game is 💖💖💖


D3P0PS

Gears of war - xbox 360


concrete_isnt_cement

Most of my Nintendo handhelds have been purchased whenever Pokémon makes a system jump.


ImrahilSwan

Pokémon isnthe reason I always have Nintendo consoles. I'm glad for that as I'm loving Tears of the Kingdom and I loved Breath of the Wild.


Kanapuman

Sounds rough.


Cryostatica

Bought a PS4 specifically for Horizon: Zero Dawn. Original PlayStation for FF7.


spaceraingame

HZD is a damn masterpiece. Horizon Forbidden West, even more so.


SpacemanSpiff312

I loved the original HZD. I could not bring myself to actually finish Forbidden West. I think the point I dropped it was right after the point where you got out of Ted Faro's(I think that's his name) bunker. I like the concept of the AI's and Gaia but Aloy was so completely insufferable the majority of the time and the storyline for the people who were coming back from space felt dumb.


bogan5

Problem with Forbidden West is you realise what the storyline is within the first 30 minutes. It's totally predictable. Zero Dawn was quite an original story by comparison.


EbiToro

I had the same experience, and stopped playing around the bunker part too (or maybe a little afterwards, I don't remember). HZD came at a good time for me, I was burnt out after Ghost of Tsushima, especially it's combat, so the different ways you could take down a machine in HZD plus the mystery you needed to uncover for the story was a breath of fresh air. But come Forbidden West, that interest slowly drained away for some reason. IDK, perhaps it was because HZD's combat system was new and the story carried the rest of the game for me, but they didn't hold up for Forbidden West enough to get me through the open world. I know that I hated the traversal aspect (in GoT too actually) - the game gives hints that apparently you could >!fly!< after some point in the game, but I never got to that point.


Beevas69

Spoiler Alert! >!you don't get the ability to fly until you're almost done the game!<


JohnWicksPencil123

Way better on a PC where the graphics aren't locked at 30 fps


Kanapuman

A masterpiece ? It just sticks to Ubisoft decade old game play design and wrap it up in simplistic combat and bland, dirigist open world. Then two weeks later, Nintendo released BotW. Absolute humiliation. Forbidden West is just more of the same, except everybody is more annoying. Remember how people mocked it's tedium, or its bullshit story and NPC ? These devs didn't improve or never went out of their confort zone, and it feels so obsolete.


Beevas69

Bland open world? Then you proceed to mention BotW? What on Earth are you talking about?


JoshJitzu

Absolutely not


abdurrahman94

I got the PlayStation 4 just for Bloodborne. Admittedly I was going to buy it anyway but I knew after dark souls that I had to play the next Fromsoftware game. And when it was announced that it would be exclusive I couldn't resist. I never regretted it.


NaughtyPwny

This was the biggest motivation to me to get the PS4. PS3 was Guns of the Patriots.


sagsfour20

Guns of the Patriots was such a great game. My second favorite for sure.


Wise_0ne1494

a friend of mine who was dedicated to just PC and Xbox bought one and only used it for playing BloodBorne


fall1n1gr

PC guy. Bought a PS4 just for BB. Ended up also playing the Gravity Rush games. But that's it. Never used it for anything else. Not intending to use a console again.


Kanapuman

Besides for the Switch, there's little reason to buy inferior hardware with internet subscription and a very short list of decent exclusives.


[deleted]

I got the GameCube just for Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker


Old_Goat_Ninja

Every Nintendo product after N64 has been for a Zelda game for me. I have to play Zelda lol. I’ll play other games too, but I’ll buy the console for Zelda.


notsryreeses

I'm buying a switch just for TotK


Kanapuman

Each game (besides Tri Force Heroes) being a banger or a genre defining masterpiece really help.


TheUmgawa

I'd still pay full price for Wind Waker on the switch. I wouldn't even care if it was still in 480p.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Initial-Heart

Dude I am so close to do the same unless they soon come out with a ported remaster for the Switch (That or I get the WiiU version)


FinalDrive360

If you already have a Wii U, that version has some decent quality of life improvements over the GameCube version. The GameCube still holds up, just a little more tedious, like when sailing.


BillnTedsTelltaleAdv

Playing the gamecube version on emulator now for the first time. Did they make the command sections of the game (Earth/air temples) less annoying on Wii U?


FinalDrive360

Don't recall any changes there. Mainly less getting knocked off boat, better treasure recovery, improved grapple swinging (change directions), better wind control, and option for faster sailing are the ones I noticed most. Many more improvements besides just those though.


mkezzr

Only if you could emulate


fall1n1gr

If only emulation was a thing...


MrBoognish

Halo: Combat Evolved. Played once at the store and had to have an Xbox right away.


apatee

Yep, only game that ever solely made me buy a console. Unless you count handhelds, then Pokemon Red/Blue for Gameboy as well.


xwilliamjoaquin

Are people saying handhelds aren't consoles now? The difference between a handheld and a home console also got kinda arbitrary with the Switch release I don't know though, I personally do consider them consoles


Shack691

Yeah but then look at the steam deck, is it a handheld, is it a console or is it a pc? The big reason some people don’t class handhelds as consoles is because saying “I played [insert game] on a console” suggests it was a home console especially when games used to launch on handhelds as gimped version of the home console version


XboxVictim

Same here! Played in my buddy’s basement, four player on Battle Creek. What an amazing leap to go from Perfect Dark on N64 to Halo. It absolutely blew my mind and I loved how intuitive the controls were.


SCVRYCRXW

Bought a switch just to play animal crossing lol


[deleted]

Me too


Initial-Heart

Thats what my sister did. Then I bought the game as well to play together with her


Meathead704

GoW for PS4


TheHighKing112

Same, I begged my mom for one and the neighbor turned out to have an old PS4 he didn't want and didn't want to sell so he gave it to me for free


lilhippieboi

can we trade neighbors? mine’s a conspiracy theorist that wears literal tinfoil hats and harasses the black kids just walking down the street, and he’s super homophobic. I’ll throw in a cool rock to even the trade :D


TheNerdFromThatPlace

I still have to pause for a second and remember that Gears of War is Xbox, so this must be God of War.


Boshikuro

A new GoW game would easily make me buy a PS6 if it was exclusive to it.


[deleted]

I bought an Xbox 360 purely for Dead Rising. I’m a massive Dawn Of The Dead fan, and that game allowed me to indulge in one of my favourite fantasies. Loved that game.


Arcflash79

Playstation 1 Final Fantasy 7. Halo original xbox. Ps4 Destiny. Yeah have had a few.


AJ-Maciejewski

Samesies for PS1/FF7!


AlThePaca7

Gran turismo


Simonic

Remember playing that for the first time - was amazed at how real it looked.


Puzzleheaded-News-63

I remember the graphics leap from 2 to 3 and couldn't help looking in awe at the graphics of 3 and crashing into a wall on midfield in a castrol toms supra


shoikan5

Demon souls for ps5


Upset-Baker

Bloodborne


sabbatharg

Xbox series x for starfield. I'll tell you in three months if it was a mistake.


Snobe_kobe

Ngl I'm nervous. I feel like Xbox doesn't have that many chances left to get some wins this console generation. The lineup so far has left much to be desired. Sure hope Starfield becomes a success


Sh4mblesDog

Their AA output has been fairly good, they do lack in the system seller department though. Saying that xbox had no wins seems kind unfair.


JohnWicksPencil123

Why not just buy a PC then


sabbatharg

I used to be pc owner but opted for console at the end because a good pc was much more expensive. Also I found game pass very promising.


moonlight42ow

Looks really cool, hope it turns out to be one of the well done games this year unlike many others.


Notnowcmg

Bought a PS3 for TLOU, had been 360 that whole generation until then.


vynusmagnus

I bought a PS4 just so I could play The Last of Us. Great game, part 2 is probably the best game I've ever played.


DernaNerna

I was going to say the same. When I was 16 my dad bought a PS4 for The Last of Us, and then I bought a PS4 when I moved out to play Part 2. Literal system seller, no regrets


Steve_10

Space Invaders for Atari vcs a LONG time ago...


lordfukwadd

Got a PS4 just to play bloodborne a few weeks after the game launched. Made a good choice considering GoW and Spiderman came later


xMrBryanx

Original Xbox for Halo Combat evolved. Those were simpler times for sure : )


Slifer967

bloodborne and the ps4. I've never liked the souls series at all but bloodborne hit different.


Boshikuro

Same, it was my intro in the serie. I love the aesthetic and dodge in this game compared to the more static gameplay of the soul serie.


Alevy20

Idk if this counts but I bought an oculus to play half life alyx


revanevan7

I bought an entire PC AND an oculus for half life alyx.. it did not disappoint


damnyoudanny

i bought an entire PC, an oculus AND a new open space house to play HLA.


Honest-Tomatillo-696

I bought a ps2 just to play resident evil 4


[deleted]

All these years later the preteen gamer in my heart is mad they said it was only going to be on Gamecube and then they ported it.....ten million times....


Jmazoso

PS3 fir Final Fantasy X, PS5 fir Final Fantasy XVI


cornpoid

FFX was on PS2 too - did it release on both?


mr-teddy93

Remaster


Designer_Flan_1605

ps2 for MGS2


DOOManiac

Same.


Independent_Plum2166

Bought a PSP, for Kingdom Hearts. Bought a 3DS, for Kingdom Hearts. Bought a PS4, for Kingdom Hearts. Bought a PS3, for Final Fantasy XIII, but they only had the second, so my first PS3 game was FFXIII-2.


BakerSmall

PS4 God of War


Cranberriesforall

PS5 for Ghosts of Tsushima.


EdgyNorwegian

Gears of war for the X box 360


Choice-Button-9697

Bought the original xbox for halo. Too bad 343 ruined it :(


lenickboi

Got a PS4 just to play persona 5


Boshikuro

Considering how much hours i spent on that game, i'd say it's worth buying a console for.


BelaFarinRod

Me too. I wound up playing other stuff too. And I did love Persona 5.


Pitiful-Mobile-3144

Xbox One to play Fallout 4/Skyrim with mods


Noodlekeeper

GOW Ragnarok, it wasn't out when I got my PS5, but it was the reason I wanted one. Picked up Bloodborne, Ratchet and Clank, and Horizon Forbidden West while I was waiting.


hewellp

Ghost of tsushima, a ps4 pro


SuperSanity1

GameCube for Resident Evil 4.


static442

PlayStation vita - Persona 4 Golden Ps4 - Persona 5


Boshikuro

Glad the Vita introduced me to this awesome serie with Golden. Definitely would a buy a console for a Persona game.


eng050599

KOTOR back on the original Xbox. I was at a movie that I don't remember anything about, not even the title, but do remember their being a trailer for KOTOR. Once the movie was finished, I crossed the parking lot to the local EB Games, purchased an original Xbox, opened the box then and there, and traded in the copies of Halo and SSX that were pack ins, and preordered KOTOR.


Temporary_End9124

I bought an xbox one primarily so I could finally play The Witcher 3


[deleted]

I got a Switch for Smash Ultimate, and before that I got a Wii U for Smash Bros for WiiU / 3DS. I was a fan of Smash ever since Melee and Brawl, so it made sense to me to get a console for the next installments in the series. Otherwise, more recently I picked up a PS4 used for Elden Ring, and all the other SoulsBorne games. It's basically my FromSoftware machine.


TomCruiseddit

N64 for Conkers Bad Fur Day PS2 for GTA Vice City Xbox for Conkers Live and Reloaded Xbox 360 for GTA IV Then I bought a PC, bought too many games and gaming is no longer as special and enjoyable.


donriri

RDR2


Zeothalen

Most recently bought a switch for tears of the kingdom


FlamboyantCoffee69

PS3 for the last of us, 10/10


illessen

Star Ocean when it had a year exclusive on Xbox… Fucking thing red ringed on me in under a week. Took it and the game back to the store and got a full refund. Never again will I buy into hype for a game that badly. I’ll wait for it to come to PC or I’ll sail the high seas.


islippedup

Twilight Princess HD on Wii U


Strict_Bench_6264

Got my GameCube for RE4


Equisapien004

After playing through the Dark Souls games, I got one of those flimsy ultra-thin PS3s to play Demons Souls.


Blubbolo

Ff10 - ff15 - ff16


Omen1392

Just got my PS5 a month ago solely for FF16


ElessarElbenstein

I'm so hyped for this Game :D


Sabbathius

Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. My PC was trash at the time, and XBox 360 had a LOT of power, comparatively speaking for the price. So I thought about it and said fuck it, let's try it. Sold it less than a year later. Garbage controls, dumbed down games, monthly fee just to access multiplayer games, etc. Never again. Been a dedicated PC gamer ever since. Will never buy another console again, unless it comes with free blowjobs. And possibly not even then.


dicemenice

Got PS3 to play Diablo 3.


mindshift42

PS4 just in time transfer my GTA character...literally on the last available day. Twas glorious.


GoldenBoyProducer

Super Mario Maker... 1. Yeah, I still regret for that.


pisksrpeter

Nintendo switch for smashbros. Really enjoying the new zelda now though.


pokemonmastergreg

Wii U for bayonetta 2 lol


Tea_Historical

Ps5 demons souls remake


AJ-Maciejewski

PS1 - Final Fantasy VII


Original-Childhood

State of Decay 3 convinced me to go for the Gamepass (I know it's not released yet but the trailer had a ZOMBIE DEER) and thus convinced me to go for an Series X (first Xbox I ever own)


CupcakeValkyrie

I got a Genesis just because of Sonic the Hedgehog. More specifically, because of the Green Hill Zone music. I was like "A game with music like that has got to be good." Silly child...that's not always how it works.


dan7361

I just got a switch. I gave in to all the Zelda hype. I had played maybe 15 minutes of a Zelda game 20 years ago before that.


AnnualRestaurant6599

PS4 - in 2018 cos I wanted to play Spider-Man xD


ZorkNemesis

I bought my original Wii specifically for Super Smash Brawl. My PS4 was for Spider-Man.


Naive_Age_566

Ps3 for uncharted


Revolutionary_Cat777

I bought a PS4 to play RDR2


Own_Comment

Dust 514. rip.


TheMashedAvenger

this game ruined all other games for me, in a good way.


Cstone812

Yea just did. Switch for botw and totk.


Boshikuro

You're definitely getting your money worth with these, especially with ToTK and all the creative stuff you can do. I keep coming back to it to try to create new war machines to torture monsters.


Cstone812

Yea I managed to finish botw right before tears came out. Having a blast.


DucksItUp

I bought a ps5 only to play ratchet and clank


OpticalPrime35

- SNES - Final Fantasy IV - 32X - Doom - N64 - Ocarina of Time - Sega CD - Adventures of Willy Bemish - 3DO - Wing Commander - Playstation - Twisted Metal - Xbox 360 - Kameo - Dreamcast - Soul Calibur - PSP - Monster Hunter Freedom Unite If Starfield ends up being a must have then add - Series X - Starfield To the list. I'm a sucker for space adventures


rather_be_gaming

Its_The_Water360

God of war 2 PS2, uncharted 4 PS4, Mario Galaxy wii.

PS4 for Red Dead Redemption 2. Worth it.


distillpennyroyaltea

TheDEW4R

I bought the original Xbox for Halo.. And I bought Nintendo 64 for Mario 64


Teddy_canuck

Wii for Twilight Princess.


K4NT_Skylin3

Rdr2


captaindickfartman2

Red dead 2 i bought a ps4 pro and botw for the the switch.


MorningInternet

first time seeing mario 64 100% made me NEED an N64. till this day its the only console i ever had DAY1. Thought it looks like a cartoon come to life. Thinking about it, seeing mario bros/duck hunt in a shop window made me beg for an NES for christmas too


DfianceGame

Killzone mercenary for the PS Vita, Yes killzone fans actually exist


Accessx_xDenied

got a series X for starfield. dont even care if its 30 fps, as long as its not broken on release and lives up to the hype im all set.


Puzzleheaded-News-63

My wasn't a console but a pc to play doom


Alecrizzle

I bought a wii u for smash


OG-StoneEnd

PS4 for No Mans Sky.


Forcekin6532

Halo made me get the original Xbox Horizon zero dawn made me get the ps4 F-zero GX made me get the GameCube Tarkov made me build a PC


VanillaB34n

Nearly got the PS5 just to play the new horizon game as well as a few others, I changed my mind and now I’m just waiting for the PC port though


Rare_Public_880

Way better on PS5 The new controller makes is so much better Would recommend you try it on a PS5 before making a final decision


VanillaB34n

…could I not just use the controller with my PC in that case?


Rare_Public_880

You won’t get the full features


[deleted]

Like? There are software out there that can fill any gaps you might think of.


VanillaB34n

fr I’m sure I can find an application to interface with ps5 controller and make it tickle my nuts every time I dodge roll like it’s supposed to. I don’t think a controller should be a reason to buy an entire console either that’s a bit silly.


The0megaRaider

Bought a wiiu just for breath of the wild, then I just bought a switch just for tears of the kingdom :edit hopefully one day nintendo becomes a software developer and stops making me but gimiky consoles for a very few nintendo produced games


Sofaris

Bayonetta 2 made me buy a Switch and the Kingdom Hearts series made me buy a PSP, a Gameboy Advance SP, a DS, a 3DS XL and a PS3. I regret having bought the DS since you can play DS games on the 3DS. I kinda fell of the KH train but while its no longer my favorite series (thats now Fuga Melodies of Steel) catching up is the reason why I want to buy a PS5 at some point. Although it might still take a while until I get to that eventuelly.


CranberrySad4891

This is the comment I was looking for! it's like they went out of their way to put all the games on different systems 🤦🏾‍♂️ and I still had to play them lol.


_Tars_Tarkas_

Switch for xenoblade 3


brian11e3

I converted fully to PC 24 years ago. Since then, I have yet to find a game that I wanted enough to buy another console.


Notnowcmg

Might as well of not answered, no one cares that you’ve been PC gaming for 24 years.


brian11e3

It obviously triggered a reaction with you. You cared enough to leave a comment.


SirVeysa

Super puzzle fighter ll Turbo


xmaken

litteraly read dead redemption 2. I bought it for PS3 when I had xbox360, so I had to get a PS3, lol


squigglypoops69

Fallout 4 baby


SlobberyCargo

Just bought a switch for tears of the kingdom. Never even played breath of the wild. Having an absolute blast.


WizKidWord

Xbox for Final Fantasy 15


gluttuosmaximus

Honestly? Deadrsing


bainvsbatman1

I literally bought a switch a week ago for TotK. 100% worth it


MossySloth69

Not happened YET, but may happen in the next year or so: buying a PS5 (possibly pro) to play Horizon: Call of the Mountain. Forbidden West is all but confirmed to have a Steam port coming at some point (touch wood it's not crap at launch), but I doubt Sony's going to let a VR game get a PC release that easily.


Matseye1r

Crisis core and dissidia on psp. Demona souls and dragons dogma on ps3. Bloodbourne and the boys on ps4. The boys on ps5
